Game mods enhance and make the experience, in some cases, much better than the original.

What PC game mods made the games miles ahead of the original or even total conversions that actually made a terrible game amazing?

Here are a few nice ones for current games:

-Dark Souls: DS Fix

*This one unlocked the power of the pc with this beautiful game!

-Just Cause 2 Multiplayer

Made an island adventure into an Island battleground, amazing!

Supreme commander : Sorian AI MOD

Brought strategy and tough AI opponents to possibly the best RTS ever made


What are your favorite mods of all time?

I hope for some Skyrim Mods

 

[BrokenEchelon]

The TES III: Morrowind Complete Overhaul. There are multiple editions of it around. Pretty much every TES game since then has had a plethora of fantastic mods.

JA+ for Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy was absolutely amazing. It essentially overhauled the light saber combat system and enhanced it in every way.

Anything Darthmod has done/compiled for the Total War series. Empire in particular. Takes awesome games and makes them near-perfect.

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

The answer is already in the OP.

It's the Just Cause 2 multiplayer mod.

 

[Oshimai]

DarthMod for Shogun 2.

I don't remember New Vegas looking like that.

Those veins need some tessalation.

 

[Tecl0n]

Ja+/MovieBattles II for Jedi Academy.

 

[antitrop]

Counter-Strike is the greatest mod of all time. It's better than Half-Life, I don't give a shit. Counter-Strike is the Half-Life multiplayer.

 

[MEATfast]

Neotokyo is the best tactical shooter I've ever played. It's a Source mod that's still the best to this day.

Tekkit for Minecraft gives you a whole new tool set to work with. You can make jet packs and nuclear bombs and all sorts of cool shit. It's good fun.

 

[Alex Connolly]

Pretty awesome, especially in the wake of ol' Cyanide not bringing the goods - unsurprisingly - with Genesis.

 

[WanderingWind]

I remember a friend who had a X-Men mod for Quake that I always wanted to play.

 

[DukeTogo1300]

I'm loving the Skyrim mod that adds Dragon's Dogma styled lighting.

 

[Skyfireblaze]

That's a great idea for a thread! I vote for Amaterasu no Yume: http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/17229 for Oblivion and also Neotokyo for the Source Engine!

Desert Combat mod for Battlefield 1942 was flat out amazing. It did things that even Battlefield 3 doesn't do. Things like 20 people in a single AC-130. Definitely the most fun I have ever had with a mod in any game ever.

Also do Dota and Counter-Strike count? Because those technically started as mods.

 

[Red Chocobo]

The unlimited length grappling hook in Just Cause 2.

 

[PatrickLyons]

gotta say the most important mod to me was the network addon mod for SimCity 4. straight out of the box, that game was absolutely fucking broken to the point of being unplayable with large cities. modded? it's the greatest time-sink ever created.

 

[Big_Al]

I haven't played it for a while but Brutal Doom was good fun.

Dota! a single mod that spawned a new game genre and created a multi million dollar community

It looks like this mod was created with the specific goal of shitting on every single thing that makes Doom a classic.

No thats Doom 3.

It's not quite that bad from my experience, but I do prefer playing vanilla Doom over this.

You mean the fast gameplay, great level design, and cool weapons? Cause I don't think any of those are particularly harmed by the mod.

No thats Doom 3.

More accurate answer as well.

 

[toddhunter]

I hated Skyrim.

But this dragon mod was awesome:

I haven't really played that many mods but I think DayZ needs to be mentioned. Arma 2 was nothing before that.

 

[human onion]

The Nameless Mod is a fantastic Deus Ex mod. Story and voice acting might put people off, but the unique world and top-notch Deus Ex gameplay make it amazing in my eyes. It has two different paths with some different missions, encouraging a second playthrough. Also like Deus Ex, the attention to detail and the player's actions I feel surpasses the original game.

Aside from a good military sim with a tight community, you mean.

It's a solid Military game. It just wasn't very popular.

 

[DocSeuss]

Eh...

/me deletes the total conversion thread he was working on (was holding off until I actually completed all the mods I'd heard were good and wanted to recommend)

People should check out:

Complex (Homeworld 2)
Nehrim: At Fate's Edge (Oblivion)
They Hunger (Half-Life)
Black Mesa (Source SDK 2007)
Cry of Fear (Half-Life)
Aliens TC (Doom)
Rubicon X (Marathon)

I'd really like to play that zombie co-op Half-Life mod at some point.

Are you kidding me? That looks fucking awesome.

I've heard that Brutal Doom is amazing.

WTF? No has posted my man Maldo's 4.0 Crysis 2 texture pack, you know, the greatest texture mod ever?! For shame!

It's more of a gore mod than anything. It does change a few things to the weapons but I enjoy it mostly for the over the top gore letting. Doesn't alter the ace level design or anything like that.

Speaking of Doom mods, I can't pimp Reelism enough. It's kinda like Smash TV, adapted to the Doom formula, and with the insanity ratcheted up to 11.

You have to survive 5/10/infinite one-minute rounds (depending on difficulty chosen). You get three slots, which roll at the beginning of each; one determines the monsters you face (maybe imps, maybe zombies, maybe floating eyeballs, maybe cowboys, maybe bronies), one determines the weapons you get (maybe shotguns, maybe fire-spewing guns, maybe Duke 3D guns, maybe nothing), and one determines a general "modifier" that applies to that round (maybe poison, maybe low-gravity, maybe super speed, maybe no friction, etc). Very rarely do two games play out the same way, which makes it a rather entertaining play all around.

Highly recommended.

I mean the absolute best has to be DOTA right?

But yea, mods really make PC gaming shit all over other platforms.

Unless you, like me, happen to think that MOBAs are awful.
