What is your favorite mod?

I want to highlight two mod makers, instead of single mods. lStewieAl and WallSoGB for their efforts unfucking New Vegas. Being forced to pick a single effort, the engine optimizations is probably the most impressive. Honorable mention to all the various script extenders that make so many fantastic mods possible in the first place.

I'm going to have to go with either the Create mod or Apotheosis, both for Minecraft. Both of them feel like they could just be part of the vanilla game, and at this point it feels wrong and weird for me to play the game without them installed.

There's a Sonic fan game I like to play called Sonic Robo Blast 2, built on an extremely heavily modified OG Doom engine with a pretty good modding community, and there's a level pack for it called Sol Sestancia that's just crazy fun to run through with the Neo Sonic character mod. Getting up to top speed to activate boost mode and trying your best not to slow down or stop so you don't lose it. So satisfying.

Archolos, and it’s not even close. This is one of the best gaming experiences i’ve had in years

Garry’s Mod
It’s hard to think of any one mod that got remotely close to changing a game the way GMod did for HL2/CS:S/source engine titles. I spent thousands of hours in GMod as a kid, it added infinite teplaya ility to the HL2 campaign, forums like Facepunch and PHWOnline became my second home.
There was a ton of content to be loaded from there and FPSBanana, the thriving webcomic scene was truly special. -
Better Than Wolves it's a minecraft overhaul that was started by the veteran game designer FlowerChild who was pissed at Mojang that they are adding useless features that don't improve gameplay loop (wolves being the breaking point). So he spent many years making Minecraft challenging survival and interesting tech game.
While I haven't beaten the dragon once in that game (not many people have) it still gave me hundreds of hours of entertainment.
-
The mod that got me into modding still has a special place in my heart. It was the Shockwave mod for C&C Generals. Shockwave absolutely could have been vanilla if EA deigned to finish the Zero Hour expansion. It was just pure polished perfection for that game.
-
Gigastructural Engineering for Stellaris... the megastructures included in the game and DLC are great, but they lack a certain insanity. Plus the mod allows you to terraform any planet (even gas giants).
-
I've never been one to mod games, I'm pretty vanilla when it comes to gaming. Play the base game and thats it. Rarely do i even try any dlc. With that said, I thoroughly enjoyed Frelancer discovery back in the day. It is a freelancer multilayer mod that brought a lot more content and enabled multi player once the official servers were gone.

Terraria - Calamity.
Expands the game to 2.5x the content.
Absolutely amazing, would recommend buying Terraria just to play it.

Screw Gothic 3 and 4, this is the real sequel us Gothic fans have been waiting for! A genuine delight to play through, and the Polish voice acting was just as incredible as it was in Gothic 1 and 2, despite being a fan project! Waiting patiently for the Mod of the Decade edition to re-play it again and try out all the new things they add (very excited for the teased mage path!)

Spoilers on Lemmy work like this:

I wasn't excluding this type of mod when I asked my question. Small fixes definitely count!
-
Just started that recently, very good so far.
-
I think I haven't played a single skirmish round of Company of Heroes 1 without the Blitzkrieg mod in the past 15 years.
-
I don't know if time has been kind or not, but when I discovered Fall from Heaven II for Civilization VI I never launched the base game again.
-
Rimworld multiplayer.
-
The Elden Ring Seamless Co-op is probably the only way I would have been able to finish the game and the DLC. It allowed myself and 3 others (who probably wouldn't be able to complete it either) to beat most if not all the bosses.
I'll check out Fallout 3 Wanderers Edition.
-
I had genuinely forgotten about it without playing it. Thanks for mentioning it.
-
I really want to check that out, but it is incompatible with my favorite mod: Save Our Ship 2. I refuse to give up SOS2 just to play with another human.
