Started playing on a particular server at the start of October and now I've got over 100 hours in the game just on that server. Modded, the game is 10/10 imo
Rimworld modders also let new people update/maintain their old mods to play nice with newer versions of the game client.
I've never seen a modding community so open where that happens.
A lot of modders are people that aren't well adjusted with major egos.
I say this as someone who was involved in the ArmA 2/3 modding scene from 2010 - 2014.
One of the best modding community. People will usually also let others know if axmod don't work or a updated version of the mod for people picking it up again.
>now if axmod don't work or a updated
Except CE , most mod makers seem to hate CE compatibility ( and i can kinda see why with such major changes lol )
Not really apt anymore. CE compatibility has come such a long way and most major and frequently updated popular mods are supported now by author or the ce team. It's usually newer mods or older mods with a busy or stubborn author. And quite frankly alot of the mods I would be missing are older code and have various things going on with it, balance, tps, just old code.
>Rimworld modders also let new people update/maintain their old mods to play nice with newer versions of the game client.
sadly not all of them :/ i know a few which dont allow mod updates of others sadly.
I mod a lot of games and that game is awesome for modding, a ton of good mods and a lot of compatibility between them. I'd also say it's one of the best along stalker
Surprisingly S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Anomaly Mod is free and incredibly fun. Adds a lot of depth and breadth to the games without sacrificing core gameplay feel.
GAMMA is a fun and challenging modlist that takes Anomaly to the next level. Hardcore survivalist with a focus on crafting and gear maintenance. Enemies only ever drop broken weapons if at all. Repair, mods, and maintenance of gear will take a lot of your focus.
Misery Mod is for people who want to suffer for every minor mistake. Masochists only. This mod will hurt your feelings.
Correct. Skyrim is the GOAT by far. Loverslab really clinched the win.
“Yes, I do need my Khajit to have a rainbow coloured, 3 headed, foot thick, meat trunk”
Modding is what makes Bethesda games actually enjoyable, and often playable. To the point where I tell people don't even bother getting the console versions.
Skyrim is alot more active than minecraft is. Minecraft typically has a few popular mods that get updated continuously. Skyrim about every week a new mod releases that gains popularity. On multiple sites as well as patrons as well.
I'm not sure this is entirely true, but I do get what you mean. Minecraft has massive mod packs and new mods added for those every version and so forth. Whereas each skyrim mod is normally standalone.
As someone who plays both, I think minecraft tends to be my favourite for mods
I think I like the Minecraft modding *community* better than Skyrim because of their culture of openly embracing mod packs. If you don't allow people to redistribute and curate your mod in a mod pack, your mod isn't getting played because the community loves mod packs. Because of the ease of access, you spend more time actually playing with the mods instead of installing and tweaking for hours.
Skyrim/Bethesda mods on the other hand is more about picking and choosing which mods you want. To the point where it can feel a bit overwhelming and if you aren't 100% invested into it. The community pretty much despises almost any form of redistribution, and Wabbajack was born to basically be a workaround that the modders have to deal with, unless they want to hide their download links in a private Discord server or something.
Wabbajack is a really good tool to get closer to the convenience of Minecraft's modpacks, but it also feels like a complete hassle because to really automate things, you got to get a Nexus Premium account to get automatic downloads.
I have noticed lately that nexus and skyrim modpacks are getting a little more popular and it's kind of nice to see. I often go through phases of spending 10hrs setting up a modded skyrim client to then not be wanting to play when I'm done xd
So I've never used wabbajack as I always do personal modding in skyrim. However, I did use Nexus's collections once, and without premium, it still downloaded everything automatically. It just took a long time due to the 2mb/s limit.
But ease of use isn't what we are talking about. We are talking about the amount and community. Which skyrim easily is the highest. Followed by minecraft.
Here is a small sample.
https://youtu.be/vsnf-7nrI5M?si=0Dg--sk9ixWAYYc2
This is one of many modlists that adds loads of content, updates the visuals, and overhauls every aspect of the game.
I loved my time with modded Minecraft but as an older guy who remembers playing Minecraft on a browser. I’d take modded Skyrim any day of the week.
That’s a cool video. Thanks for sharing your opinion. My favorite game that I’ve modded was Crusader Kings 3. Not Minecraft or Skyrim. But a metric is a measurement. Not a feeling.
Here are the stats. Skyrim Special Edition’s top 5 mods on nexus combine for 73.8 million downloads. Minecraft’s 87th most popular mod, comforts, has 73.9 million downloads. The 87th most popular mod in Minecraft has a total download count higher than the top 5 most downloaded Skyrim mods.
https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/search?class=mc-mods&page=5&pageSize=20&sortType=6
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition?tab=popular+%28all+time%29
This is not about my feelings or my favorite. It’s just me being objective.
Downloads =\= better or worse
That only means more people have played it lol.
Minecraft is an exceptionally accessible game that has had on going support since I was a teenager lol of course it will have more active users. Especially since it’s a multiplayer experience.
That has nothing to do with which is better.
That’s my point? You are using opinions. If you go to r/feedthebeast their opinions are going to lean hard towards Minecraft being the better game to mod. Opinions don’t mean anything.
Which one is better? That’s opinion. Which is your favorite? That’s opinion. Which one is wildly more popular, played and has every single metric to back up its status as GOAT modded game? The more popular one. This is like saying American Football is the GOAT sport while ignoring that it’s about 1/10 as popular as soccer.
Oooo, yea this one.
I played this the other day and am surprised I didn't think of this as a game that could be modded. Probably because I see the workshop not as mods, but as the game itself.
I treat those games like a sandbox since it has such a great editor. Smashing my army mans together.
You can even mix and match periods for silliness. Modern Bundeswehr vs Waffen SS in a paradoxical generational GRUDGE MAATTCH
It comes with a mission editor. It's very powerful, and has been ever since Operation Flashpoint in 2001, and now with Arma 3 the editor is in 3D so you can place assets and see what you're doing right away. Easiest mission editor I've ever used, but then again, I've had over 20 years of practice :p
You can plop down guys or entire groups, and/or vehicles, and then just duke it out all you want. There are mods to add in artillery call ins and all sorts of different stuff.
I know right? I just reinstalled the game for my yearly playthrough and I was seriously impressed with the modding list I used, I saw some things that for me were just impossible with that engine...
Do you download your mods from Nexus or elsewhere? Because using the Nexus 90% of the things I find are just character presets or extensions of TLW, which I don't use anyway because I'm not a masochist
I'm always wary of the workshop it broke many of my saves maybe now that the game isn't receiving any updates it would be better though, thanks for the tip.
Stop it Nikolai, we have better Things to do my little russian friend, Dempsey, Takeo.. WE have to KILL THEM ALL....
.. im notfall... werde... WERDE ICH SIE ALLE ABSTECHEN HAHA
The OG Star Wars Battlefront 2. There's still people releasing mods for it today. I have been playing different mods for years. Wish I still had my old Windows XP PC because I'm sure half the maps I had on that one are hard to find now.
NASCAR Racing 2003 Season also has a ton of mods available too. They even have mods that adds stuff that isn't NASCAR.
My main motivation to buy a gaming pc was to run skyrim with hundreds of mods. My obsession with skyrim faded soon after buying one tho haha.
A game I've enjoyed modding recently tho is the Spider-Man games. The modding community makes awesome costumes. And some gameplay mods make the swinging really fun.
Terraria is the only game I've played a lot of mods on. Calamity is easily in my top 5 games on its own.
Crazy to play through vanilla Terraria and all of its content, then you do a Calamity playthrough. Just mind-blowing it's all built on the same skeleton. The core vanilla game is still all there and exists but they wove in this huge pack of content between all the vanilla content in the same world. Then you get to end game, and they put just as much content if not more than everything pre-moon lord into post moon lord. Great boss fights and soundtrack too.
Bethesda Games (Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Starfield)
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series
Resident Evil Games (asset model modding) I can play as Issaic from Dead Space fighting against Thomas the Tank engine in the middle of a zombie apocalypse
Left 4 Dead 2
Halo: The Master Chief Collection
SWAT 4 has some incredible gameplay mods that really modernize the game.
X4 is now the best Star Wars game thanks to a mod.
Neverwinter Nights has a lot of amazing fanmade campaigns.
STALKER series’ mod community has really evolved into its own franchise.
Star Trek: Bridge Commander still has an incredibly dedicated community since there’s no game like it.
I mean, Valve owes it's existence as an independent company thanks to modding. Half-life 1 and 2 would not have been near as popular as they were. Counter-strike wouldn't exist...etc.
Now, for Modern day games. Probably Rimworld as the multiplayer mod added so much more replayability for me and my friends.
Valheim is probably next on that list, as the game has major QoL issues that have to be addressed by mods.
Finally, Cyberpunk 2077. As that game is basically a platform ala Elder Scrolls games at this point.
First game I ever used mods was Hogwarts Legacy. Due to the hype and popularity of the game, mods were falling like rain during the first months. Now I think not so much.
But I can clearly see the appeal of pc gaming due to mods. It opens up so much possibilities. Now I always look for mods to enhance my gaming experience.
I can’t believe Minecraft was only mentioned twice in this thread at the time of writing this. It’s honestly the quintessential modding platform imo (obviously heavily biased as I grew up with it instead of half-life or ARMA mods, for example).
Forget RimWorld mods changing the game completely, Minecraft mods change the entire game completely for fun, then decide to tack on a couple extra dimensions for dessert. Minecraft is the ultimate breeding ground for fantastic mods (again, in my opinion and for my tastes).
Star Wars Empire at War, the game literally has been kept alive and thriving because the of Mod Community. It usually has a steady 1.5-2k steam players online every part of the day. Pretty good for a game released in 2006.
Medieval 2 Total War. Absolute banger total conversions like Call of Warhammer, Third Age (LotR), The Song of Fire and Ice, Hyrule Wars, etc. etc.
Men of War Assault Squad 2 has a lot of unit packs like Warhammer 40k, Star Wars, pretty much any faction with a ground based presence has been modded in, as well as a robust map editor to make missions with them. Some even have MP/skirmish support.
Project Zomboid
Started playing on a particular server at the start of October and now I've got over 100 hours in the game just on that server. Modded, the game is 10/10 imo
Share information , sharing is caring.
Is there a readability mod?
Rimworld has got to be one of the best for mods. They can change the entire game.
And rimworld got modders which do like official dlc sized and quality mods.
Rimworld modders also let new people update/maintain their old mods to play nice with newer versions of the game client. I've never seen a modding community so open where that happens.
It's common in the Minecraft scene. But also people refusing to share and maintaining strict ownership of their mods is also not uncommon.
Still better than valheim, who's modding community has become a war and they're deliberately making their mods incompatible with others
for real ? wtf
A lot of modders are people that aren't well adjusted with major egos. I say this as someone who was involved in the ArmA 2/3 modding scene from 2010 - 2014.
One of the best modding community. People will usually also let others know if axmod don't work or a updated version of the mod for people picking it up again.
>now if axmod don't work or a updated Except CE , most mod makers seem to hate CE compatibility ( and i can kinda see why with such major changes lol )
Not really apt anymore. CE compatibility has come such a long way and most major and frequently updated popular mods are supported now by author or the ce team. It's usually newer mods or older mods with a busy or stubborn author. And quite frankly alot of the mods I would be missing are older code and have various things going on with it, balance, tps, just old code.
>Rimworld modders also let new people update/maintain their old mods to play nice with newer versions of the game client. sadly not all of them :/ i know a few which dont allow mod updates of others sadly.

Rimworld may beat even Skyrim at this. The modding community is incredible.
Surprisingly S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly Mod is free and incredibly fun. Adds a lot of depth and breadth to the games without sacrificing core gameplay feel. GAMMA is a fun and challenging modlist that takes Anomaly to the next level. Hardcore survivalist with a focus on crafting and gear maintenance. Enemies only ever drop broken weapons if at all. Repair, mods, and maintenance of gear will take a lot of your focus. Misery Mod is for people who want to suffer for every minor mistake. Masochists only. This mod will hurt your feelings.
If by core gameplay feel you mean just first person shooter, then yes, otherwise it's completely different experience than in the originals
Skyrim is just the goat for this imo. Look at enderal
Correct. Skyrim is the GOAT by far. Loverslab really clinched the win. “Yes, I do need my Khajit to have a rainbow coloured, 3 headed, foot thick, meat trunk”
You joke, but the amount of sexual depravity people have been able to mod into a game about killing dragons really shows you how moddable it truly is.
I'm still waiting for the nude Thomas the Tank Engine mod.
Modding is what makes Bethesda games actually enjoyable, and often playable. To the point where I tell people don't even bother getting the console versions.
ill be surprised if any number of mods can make starfield fun
I don't believe it will be that hard tbh.
If there is a mod for the planet LV-426, the whole base built, with Xenomorphs and weapons from the film Aliens, it is going to be fun.
There’s absolutely no way Skyrim tops Minecraft but I understand what you mean lol
Skyrim is alot more active than minecraft is. Minecraft typically has a few popular mods that get updated continuously. Skyrim about every week a new mod releases that gains popularity. On multiple sites as well as patrons as well.

I bought lifetime nexus in like 2014. Worth the 50 bucks.
I completely lucked out with purchasing the lifetime membership. I picked it up a month or so before it got pulled.
Oh they don't offer it anymore? Man am I glad I bought it.
So I've never used wabbajack as I always do personal modding in skyrim. However, I did use Nexus's collections once, and without premium, it still downloaded everything automatically. It just took a long time due to the 2mb/s limit. But ease of use isn't what we are talking about. We are talking about the amount and community. Which skyrim easily is the highest. Followed by minecraft.
You have got to be joking
I’m not. Doesn’t matter how many downvotes I get lol Minecraft mods are better and Minecraft is the better game of the 2.
Either this is bait or youre like 12 and watch too much PewDiePie
Third option - I’m being objective. Surely there are metrics you can use that show that Skyrim is the GOAT modded game, right? There are not.
Here is a small sample. https://youtu.be/vsnf-7nrI5M?si=0Dg--sk9ixWAYYc2 This is one of many modlists that adds loads of content, updates the visuals, and overhauls every aspect of the game.

Oooo, yea this one. I played this the other day and am surprised I didn't think of this as a game that could be modded. Probably because I see the workshop not as mods, but as the game itself.
Arma 3
I treat those games like a sandbox since it has such a great editor. Smashing my army mans together. You can even mix and match periods for silliness. Modern Bundeswehr vs Waffen SS in a paradoxical generational GRUDGE MAATTCH
So you're kinda playing it like a battle simulator? How do you do that?
It comes with a mission editor. It's very powerful, and has been ever since Operation Flashpoint in 2001, and now with Arma 3 the editor is in 3D so you can place assets and see what you're doing right away.

I can highly recommend The Final Modpack and The XCOM Files. Especially the later han is gigantuous.
There are some amazing mods for Battletech yep!
Beside Downfall, which mods would you recommend for STS?
I have to say I only really played Downfall much. But there were more.
Kenshi
Fallout NV, the community is always pushing what is possible for that game.
I know right? I just reinstalled the game for my yearly playthrough and I was seriously impressed with the modding list I used, I saw some things that for me were just impossible with that engine...
This, the level of quality is also amazing and improvements have been Great.
Xcom 2
I need to try modded X-COM

Do you download your mods from Nexus or elsewhere? Because using the Nexus 90% of the things I find are just character presets or extensions of TLW, which I don't use anyway because I'm not a masochist
There are a ton of great mods on the steam workshop for xcom2 actually, it's where I find mine for that game

SWBF2 is where I did most of my modding. I also made a level for Human Fall Flat.

Was looking for this. We don't have thousands of mods, but we have passionate mod developers.
For me, it would definitely have to be BattleTech
Slay the Spire
Deus Ex, RollerCoaster Tycoon (with OpenRCT2), StarCraft 2
Minecraft?
Cyberpunk and Fallout 4
Doom, but I don't mod it anymore because it's perfect the way it is.
Dsda doom with custom megawads is the way

Total War Warhammer and Mount and Blade Warband both have excellent mod communities
I can’t believe Minecraft was only mentioned twice in this thread at the time of writing this. It’s honestly the quintessential modding platform imo (obviously heavily biased as I grew up with it instead of half-life or ARMA mods, for example). Forget RimWorld mods changing the game completely, Minecraft mods change the entire game completely for fun, then decide to tack on a couple extra dimensions for dessert. Minecraft is the ultimate breeding ground for fantastic mods (again, in my opinion and for my tastes).
Optifine in Minecraft
* Sim City 4 * Transport Fever 2 * Euro Truck Simulator 2 * American Truck simulator
I've always enjoyed modding GTA since way back in GTA III
Not sure how I havnt seen Minecraft yet, this game is the first one I think of when people talk about modding and is the golden standard for it imo.

Star Wars: Empire at War, Sins of a Solar Empire and just about any Bethesda game.

Star Wars Empire at War, the game literally has been kept alive and thriving because the of Mod Community. It usually has a steady 1.5-2k steam players online every part of the day. Pretty good for a game released in 2006.
