discussion What game, or games, do you have to mod to be able to enjoy playing them?

i've completed skyrim without any mods but starfield became more playable with "extra xp and skill points" mod

 

[clevernamexxx]

I played a lot of Stardew Valley without mods, then I started using mods and now I can't go back. Not just because of QoL mods either, but the story mods that add so much more depth and things to do in the game.

Only mod after i finish the game. Usually are lewd mods to have fun.

 

[NeonauroraSync]

For me, it’s Stardew Valley, Skyrim, and State of Decay 2, especially with QoL mods.

Skyrim, there is a mod for anything that annoys you at this point, from water running for ninjas to a Thomas the tank engine alduin. Personal favorite is top-hats & monocles for mudcrabs.

Very true. Once i was able to level up more and get more skill points it became way better.

I still need to finish it without mods but there are a ton of mods i wanna try. Not only for more content but simply cause i feel it just improves the game.

Nothing wrong with a good lewd mod in a game. Some also just make the game more interesting.

I didnt even think about modding state of decay 2. Ill have to go looking into some

Skyrim is just a perfect game to mod and showcase the community as a whole. I think ill play some more skyrim soon.

I need to make a list of these games and for the mods that are being mentioned.

Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines's unofficial patch is so good it comes prepackaged if you buy it on GOG.

 

[CySky]

At risk of upsetting any purists out there, the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. From minimal QoL changes, to fully-fledged, standalone modpacks incl. the beast that is Stalker Gamma.
Though they can definitely be enjoyed without any mods - it's not a must.

Lobotomy Corporation, playing without the speedup mod is just SO slow, it's a massive drag. I also never played Skyrim without SkyUI and the Unofficial Patches that fix bugs after discovering they were a thing.

What can be said about this? I've tried both Fallout NV and Fallout 4 with mods that turn them into a porn game. Not impressed. The same applies to Sims 4. It was like a doll game for girls, and it has remained, even with the mods. As for the games presented here, I rarely install incest mods, except in cases where without them the game plot turns into the ravings of a madman. A classic example is Straitened Times.

QoL is always nice. Little things can improve a game a ton. And if a purist is on a thread about modding games and complains thats a them problem

I dont think ive heard of lobotomy corporation. Sounds interesting though

I dont typcially turn normal games into porn games. I usually go for more content or bug fixes, particularly in bethesda games

It fixes a ton of bugs that the original still has and is pretty much a mandatory install anyway if you were to get the game somewhere else.

 

[HTYYHRK]

Didn't know you could mod that game, is it just client side visuals? Do you need to join a private server?

The game has a built in addon system that can add things to your hud and do some limited actions like setting your target. There are also non sanctioned client side visual mods for character models, and private servers can obviously allow whatever.

FFxiv, with mare. But the they had to send a cease and desist to the creator and ruin everything.

 

[SomeGuy26]

I spend more time modding skyrim than playing it

 

[thebeesknees]

Starfield for sure, I did beat it in vanilla but man is it boring without some actual mods.

 

[BigDickTwist]

My life because it sucks shit. Are drugs mods for real life? They do improve the experience? Hold i think i'm one something here.

Same. But modded is way better

They might be but with longer term side effects that dont make things better
