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?
Cities Skylines is 8 year old and released their final DLC just recently. I’m positive their very impressive mod community can keep that game alive for 8+ years more, if Cities Skylines 2 should fail to measure up.
