ALL DONE! Thanks to the thousands of people who participated. We have issued a few games from our #modlove collection at random to people who entered and left a comment. Congratulations if that was you!
With every year that passes, PC game mods manage to dazzle and impress on entirely new levels. Whether it’s the success stories of popular mods spawning full-fledged standalone games; tweaks and hacks that make console ports run better on PC than even the games’ own developers allow; or even small customisations that help make your games more personal – mods are still alive and kicking.
That’s why ModDB is proud to bring back Mod Appreciation Week, in which we encourage you to let the modders whose work you enjoy, know how much you appreciate their time and effort. We want modders to hear from those whose games they have made better with their craft, and we want all of you to encourage those modders to keep at it.

Woohoo it has begun. This year i'm loving all the S.T.A.L.K.E.R mods like S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Chernobyl, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Lost Alpha and MISERY which just keep going from strength to strength.
i like insurgency because its really fun with friends got workshop supports and needs skills Twitter.com
This year - absolutely , Call of Chernobyl and Misery from STALKER franchise , better than anything else ( also , a Call of Misery unoffical merge ) . STA : III The Final Frontier in SOASE . Many Warband mods , but especially ASOIAF and ACOK , quenching my thirst for GoT oriented mods ( and one day when GoT Adaptation for Skyrim is out , that , definetly , too ) .
I cannot wait for M&B2; : Bannerlord and see the myriad of mods unleashed ... another decade to play something very very good . Maybe in that decade something "STALKER-ish 2" comes our way , lol ...
It is one of the weirdest mods I've ever played, worth my time
Tei-Tenga incident for Doom is a great retelling of Doom using the Doom Bible as a basis, but expanding upon it greatly to make a unique and entertaining experience. Easily one of my favourites.
Moddb.com
The last mod I played, and since Diablo 1 is my ultimate teen love, it deserves it!
This is the ultimate and definitive way to play Diablo ... good shout !
I think my most favorite is Maelstrom for Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion because is actually not just a mod but a full , final version and well done non official expansion to the game that speaks to itself for who is a fan of 4X space titles in general and especially for fans of Sins of a Solar Empire itself
Maelstrom
PS : I don't Tweet anymore , lost the account and I got no idea how it can show up here more , perhaps it shows on this page in the v5 version of the site
Glad to share :)
This is my entry. I like total convertions in general and this one is no exception :)
Pretty keen for this
Here is my choice for #modlove2017
A mix of WW2 and Star Wars is an awesome and original idea :)
Glad to see ModDB continuing the #modlove2017 weeks! Such a nice way to help both the community and the mod developers ;) . This time around, I have shared the word about the "BFV Arsenal" mod, which makes Battlefield: Vietnam as it was supposed to be on release. New content like new weapons, vehicles, maps and factions make this a whole lot of a more interesting Vietnam experience.

To glorious misery: Twitter.com
I will once again show how much i love the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series and how much amazed I am upon seeing the work done on it by the community given the problem posed by the vanilla game.
As support to my statement i'll use the MISERY port to Call of Chernobyl.
Both of them are mods made by separate teams and are some of the most known mods on the english stalker community, yet Call of Misery is an unofficial port made by an independent.
Both of these mods were perfect fit for a single reason they barely overlap each other, no they complement one another. CoC is the Freeplay experience lacking in CoP and MISERY the complex touch of gameplay which deepened even more the stalker game. Looking at MISERY, it is often described as an ultra hardcore or "unfair" experience, in fact it may be true, I have myself tried misery and found it extremly complicated and so hard. yet if you ask these kind of people
how they would tweak the mod, we would see them make a copy of the vanilla. lately I have been chatting with a fellow stlaker of the Misery realm and he told me how easy it was for him to play, through his explainations i understood one thing, it all comes down to habit, for example when i first started playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. I was scared to death every time I left the Shadovsk ("safe-zone")
and once i finished the game i told myself "never again". look at me now, I now consider it the best game of all time and wasted months of game time on it, when I play, I stab pseudogiants for breakfast.
Knowledge is power
guess it couldn't be more accurate
Back to the topic at hand, the other reason I choose this mod in particular is the fact that the parent mods and CoM are alike. they are massive known mods which enhance gameplay mechanics and most importantly each of them are their own
modding platform, meaning they are not only mods but work which can be modified at ones will and shared as addon.
It was a long yet not comprehensive ΒΆ, I barely scrathed the surface of the mod itself, so think about the other mods, the russian modding community which has plenty of mods unknown to us. I bet you S.T.A.L.K.E.R. isn't the only game to have such community.
I chose Enderal beacause Enderal has it all, nice lore, great story and great characters that I cared about. I enjoyed every part of it. The Island of Enderal was beautiful, it has got deserts, mountains, farmlands, tropical beaches.
It also made me return to skyrim and Oblivion, because after I finished Enderal, I started to play Nehrim. SureAI are great developers and they develop great games!
Call of Warhammer is definetely one of my favourite mods of all time right next Project Nevada; Rise of the Reds and Ultimate Apocalypse.
The reason I chose BoTeT is the because a Warhammer based total war was my dream ever since I discovered the two franchises and the fact that this team can make it and do it as well (or in my opinion even better) as the professionals is incredible and I wanted to pay my respect.
Biggest mod for Stalker (and biggest mod saga ever for the series) come in solid and almost perfect for (be real, you can't have bug free mod with THAT size. Just look at the numbers!)
Truly deserve his name. Hard, unforgiving, tense, visceral. It mindblowing nobody make similar game after all these years.
Despite his name you can have a lot of fun in this unpredictable hostile world. Fresh experience with every New Game.
I love Deus Ex and this mod not only make combat good but also bring a lot of great ideas and concepts not fleshed out in the original.
I can play it again and still find something new!

Gots to Be Galaxy at War for Men of War 2
Star Wars Battlefront 2 is my favorite game of all time just because of the modding community.

A mod that I find really interesting is Entropy Zero for Half-Life 2: Episode 2. So far there's been exemples of very nice level design, a unique story and some cool gameplay elements. Really looking forward to this!

Thanks for the mention! <3

My favorite mod this is year is Zombie Panic: Source, my hopes for this new update coming soon is that it will put the game back on the map for popular mods again. My post shows my sheer joy of playing the mod, and it explains what the mod basically is.

Star Wars Conquest or any Total Conversion mod for Mount and Blade : Warband is the best thing that ever happened to modding.
Star Wars GCW Shippack is the ultimate star wars fanboy dream for #Stellaris

Keeping the the Star Wars theme, Empire At War: Remake by the one and only Jeroenimo, has also been a favourite of mine. His graphics are just mind boggling for a game as old as Empire at War.
And finally there's always a soft spot in my heart for Edain Mod. A man can never have his fill of Lord of the Rings^^
Couldn't decide on one so promoted three great mods instead :D

I've played so many source mods, I think its the most welcoming engine ever done. Please consider my entry for the draw.
this is me btw, llogin didnt work
SOMA: Leucos is one of the most important mods in SOMA's modding scene. With countless lets plays, the developer being awarded by SOMA's developers, of the mod as well as overwhelmingly positive feedback make it the mod that resurrected the SOMA modding scene. Twitter.com
Really love this mod,and will love it even more when the capaign comes out, it is really imersive and one of the best mods I have seen on MODDB , link to the twwt is here

While not 100% yet, Half-Life: Residual Life is still a gauntlet of a campaign with a number of surprises in store:
Twitter.com
They Hunger changed my life to say the least. It had everything I love, Horror, Guns, Zombies, Action. Ive played through all three episodes probably as much as I have played through the Vanilla Half Life. This mod Got me into the whole HL modding scene and for that I am thankful.
This post isn't for any one mod, but rather a big thank you and appreciative note to the community as a whole. Reviving or faithfully maintaining games even decades after their release is what makes this community so important, and one that's been a pleasure to a part of. Keep the mods coming, folks! It's only going to get better.
Last year I endorsed Galaxy at War mod, this year another Star Wars mod, this time Empire At War: Remake. It trully brings new life into EAW game, while maintaining what is good about the original.
My favorite mod of the year has to be Morrowind Rebirth. Moddb.com
Two years ago I chose Deus Ex Revision. As someone who just absolutely loves mods that aim to enhance older games I had to choose Morrowind Rebirth. I've played Morrowind a lot when I was younger, but could never really manage to get back into the game years later. After installing the mod, it renewed my love for the game. The mod basically adds new content to the game, while enhancing some of the original content. I would recommend this mod to anyone who has played Morrowind in the past. A large reason as to why I love mods such as this is because it allows for people who couldn't really get into older titles to give them a second chance, possibly creating a new fan in the process.
A Game of Thrones Mod for Crusader Kings 2, isn't just a mod it is a full game experience! I really love it!!!
Just did to my lovely gem Zombie Panic! Source
Hell yea Tab love what your doing, and thanks for recently commenting on my channel. Thedeadlyhoe out.
I've followed Phantasy Calradia for a long time. It's just one author, so work is slow, but even its current version keeps me coming back.
