Like the title. What games are made better with mods, and foster a great modding scene that retains momentum and delivers excellent content?
My personal favorite is Fallout: New Vegas, but games like DOOM, Half-Life 2 (really all source engine games), and Minecraft have extremely unique mod scenes. Of course, Skyrim remains a modding titan. STALKER: Anomaly is already an amazing mod project and has mod lists for it like GAMMA.
What are your favorites?
Even after all these years, Morrowind still has an active scene.
Terraria is another mod-friendly game that is still active.
Sometimes I spend more time modding rimworld than i do actually playing it
I don’t know any that are as big as Bethesda games or Minecraft modding scenes, not even close, but FromSoftware games tend to have some really big mods that changes lots of stuff, never got to play any of them other than a bit of one that recently came out for DS3, but is something I want to do after I’m done with Shadow of the Erdtree.
Other than that Valheim seems to have some interesting ones too. Guilty Gear Strive have a lot of alt colors/costumes you can mod into the game.
Oh a big one is The Binding of Isaac, there is a shit ton of mods on the Steam Workshop, I tend to use a lot of non-gameplay mods there. The modding scene in this one is unique and tends to be quite friendly. There’s a lot of fun and quality work on there.
slay the spire mods are pretty fun, i love the characters that the community creates. some of them are anime/touhou related but others make some unique (and silly) ones as well. yomi hustle also has a very big modding scene especially for adding custom characters, theyre pretty cool but i havent messed around with it much
Project Reality for Battlefield 2 is stand alone now, same with Stalker Lost Alpha, two mods I’ve played around with and enjoyed.
Project Reality has come such a long way, I remember trying to play it with a couple buddies years and years and years ago.
