Vanilla Skyrim reaches a whopping 2 billion mod downloads, surpassed only by Skyrim: Special Edition's 6.2 billion record

Skyrim.

Skyrim is the game that just keeps giving - or the game that just won't die, depending on how much you love its memeable world - as the base game has now reached a whopping two billion mod downloads.

As beloved as Bethesda's immortal RPG is, the base game can be kind of rough in certain areas. So it didn't take long for players to start tinkering themselves, circa 2011, with fixes and graphical improvements and quality-of-features. But Skyrim mods have since evolved. There's a mod for everything. New weapons and spells? Of course. DLC-sized packs with more areas and quests? You bet. Lore-friendly hair mods? Errr, sure. Hell, there are even mod manager mods to help you keep track of all the mods you've downloaded. (Now I've said mods too many modding times.)
