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?
Sims 2 is also quite boring (and often broken) in vanilla. It still has a crazy active online community for mods, fixes and cc.
Fair points. But I enjoyed both Sims 2 and 3 modless much more than modless 4 :D If not for the quality of life improvements in build mode for 4, I would probably play the older games more than Sims 4 ;D
