I know most of the Bethesda RPGs have massive mod support, and there's games like Minecraft that have more mods than anyone can imagine. I would consider those games pretty playable in their vanilla states. Would you say there are any games that were "saved" by modding? Or that are still kept alive by thriving modding communities? What are some of your favorite mods?

FTL has complete overhaul mods and expansions that can make it seem new even now.

Definitely RimWorld. There's so many mods that improve the base game. From QoL mods that make you wonder why that isn't default in the vanilla game, to mods that complety overhaul the actual win condition. Just overall a really fun, replayability, frustrating game.

Use mods though. It'll make it better. Check out p-music mod while you're at it.

Definitely Minecraft, you can turn it into a completely different game

I know I'm a minority in this, but I unironically prefer vanilla Minecraft, it's simple in a good way ๐Ÿ˜….

I had no idea the game had a modding scene. What sorta mods are out there, and what would you recommend?

I also had no idea, since mods for prior games had basically nothing, but wow, the Nexus page has a lot.

The original Doom for sure. I don't know if they count as mods since they're technically running on a modified version of the engine, but there is still a massive community making maps, mods, and even new game modes for it. Most recently the "MyHouse.wad" map for it has exploded in popularity. I've had so much fun over the years with doom mods, it's a treasure trove that most people have no idea exists.

There's even entire new games built on Doom. Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (stupid name, I know) is a fantastic free open source karting game with a decent community, and it's technically just a doom mod.

If anyone here is going to play a single doom mod to see what's up, I recommend Doom: The Golden Souls Remastered. It's good fun.
