My modding life mostly revolved around battlefield 2 and UT 2004 which was the best mods ever made for anything ever
- original tekkit and aether mod. The real og’s of minecraft modding, they hit a high so good Ive only ever been let down ever since. Dont forget to delete you META-INF folder!
- Killing floor 0, excessive headbob straight outta crysis ultra maximum sexual graphics videos on youtube
- red orchestra, again nothing has ever hit this high
- defense alliance 2, im surprised this never got a standalone like killing floor but i remember it being poggers
- forgotten hope 2, still probably the best ww2 game ever made with some actually fun bots that can air drop n shit
- AIX 2.0, its just silly
- project reality, its like squad but i can see things
- refreshing the cry of fear progress bar on moddb
- the tyrannids mod for dawn of war that took ages to release and was kinda mid when it came out but still was the biggest mod. Otherwise the remove unit cap and unit shadows was the natural mod pick for dawn of war
Those are the major ones I remember. Total conversion mods used to be the norm now mods barely even exist
Anything that Kaze Emanuar does is the best mod to ever exist. He made Super Mario: Ocarina of Time and is making/made his own whole refactored (like remastered the game engine) mod of SM64.
But then there’s a simple one that remove Gleba from Factorio that made my friend laugh so I like it.
Then Minecraft, Terraria, and Slay the Spire have absolute cinema for mods but I haven’t explored
I maintain that Kaze is wasting his time (maybe not I think he has a patreon) making mods when he has the skills to just straight up make an original game. Could even pull a meme and make a modern n64 game that runs on console. (He’d need a level designer because his level design is/was pretty ass). Maybe that’s changed though I’m kinda rambling at this point
