Sekiro - For the sake of Ashina

I want to highlight two mod makers, instead of single mods. lStewieAl and WallSoGB for their efforts unfucking New Vegas. Being forced to pick a single effort, the engine optimizations is probably the most impressive. Honorable mention to all the various script extenders that make so many fantastic mods possible in the first place.

Minecraft - mouse tweaks, Alex's Mobs, The Bumblezone
Morrowind - I forget what it's called, but the one that adds the mainland
Risk of Rain 2 - any character by Enforcergang. Especially classic sniper and rocket

for Minecraft, the fabulously optimized modpack. gives me over 5x the fps, meaning I can make the game look fancier with higher settings

You know, I actually think it's the miniblocks datapack for Minecraft. That's the only "mod" that is included in every single world I play in. Every other mod in every other game is kind of optional, but I'll never play Minecraft without miniblocks ever again. Not that I use them a ton, but they singlehandedly managed to actually get me exceited for the wandering trader again!

This is going to be a callback, but Ballistic Weapons for UT2004. It completely overhauled the gunplay in ways I’ve never seen replicated. I loved all the extra modes the weapons had and many took a while to learn how to use.

The devs went on to make Viscera Cleanup Detail, so good for them, but I did always wish they made a FPS.

definitely dremor and close second is shitpostpolice. oh boy my lips are so tired.

Antistazi for Arma 3

Any mod that allows me to play as Amy Rose in any Sonic game.
