10 Most Modded Video Games Of All Time

3. Fallout 4

Skyrim mods
Bethesda

It may not be the best Fallout game by a longshot, but hoo boy was introducing base-building mechanics into the Fallout franchise akin to opening Pandora's bloody Box.

If you look on the steam page for the various builder DLC packs - all of which are perfectly fine expansions to the vanilla game in their own right - you may be wondering why the reviews are so mixed to bad. Well the answer is that this is something you pay for, that you can get for free on Nexus. The building mods in Fallout 4 put every previous entry's building mod to utter shame. Player houses are more intricate, the mod packs play with the game's physics engine in ways Bethesda could only dream, and the crafting is expanded in ways you wouldn't believe.

Modders play havoc with the character creation as well, taking advantage of the increased options the vanilla game gives you to add in different eye colors, inhuman skin colors, and lots of wacky and stylish hairstyles. Fallout 4 is some of the most fun you will ever have with mods.
