What game is improved the most by mods? (beehaw.org)

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?

I'm not sure its fair to say "most improved" but I do believe that Deus Ex is a game everyone should play, but I do not believe it is truly playable without some content mods to get the game running properly on modern hardware.

Every time I'm reminded this exists, I get excited about it, but yet I haven't gotten around to it yet.

I've replayed Deus Ex multiple times though, even though I don't normally replay anything, and even though I didn't play it for the first time until, like, a few months to a year after Human Revolution came out (no nostalgia goggles here - the game really, actually is just as good as people make it out to be. And all I put on it was a simple high resolution/widescreen mod.)
