I love mods. Even if a game isn't really moddable, I'll find some tweaks to use.

Stardew has one absolutely massive modpack that actually slowed my FPS to a crawl until I upgraded my CPU. It basically tripled the size of the world and number of NPCs, plus has a million little optional tweaks involving automation, information display, new skills, etc. You can install it pretty easily with wabbajack, a modpack installer, but it'll take an afternoon without a nexus mods subscription: https://www.wabbajack.org/

Satisfactory has a ton a little quality of life mods that make the game better, though to the game's credit they've implemented a lot of them in the base game (most notably mass building). Mods do remove the limits the game imposes on itself though so if you want to make miles of foundations at once you totally can. Factorio and Dyson Sphere Program also have a bunch of little mods.

Total War: Warhammer 3 has some great mods, but the one I'd like to point out is SFO. It rebalances every faction in the game to be closer to tabletop and warhammer lore (so mobs of Skaven are MUCH more numerous, while units of Brettonian knights are smaller in number but have superhuman strength). Old factions without modern gimmicks are given unique toys to play around with or are totally reworked, and new ones have major tweaks. Honestly, it changes so much a lot of people don't like it, but I think it's a fun alternative to the main game regardless.

Octopath Traveller 2 has a really fun total conversion mod called New Dawn that's sort of a difficulty mod, but it also rebalances your damage potential to be insane if you play correctly. Like, Osvald and the Scholar class are even more focused on dumping extra power into one turn, and despite bosses having inflated HP pools, playing properly will still let you oneshot or twoshot them. It's extremely satisfying. Also, there's item/spell description mods that actually tell you what things do.

Elden Ring's got seamless coop which should deserve a mention by itself! Played through the whole game like that a few months ago with three friends. It was definitely easier and a bit buggy at times but still, really fun.

Cassette Beasts has one really cool mod that makes random and named NPCs a lot more active in the world. Instead of team battles being a rare scripted occurrence, others will seek out boss fights and join them with you. It does make the game easier but the game has a lot of difficulty sliders to compensate.

Also look into Reshade if your PC can handle it, it makes some games look really good. Notably in my experience, Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma has some weird visual effects that reshade can tone down and make the game look a lot better. It does drop my fps by like 10-15, though.
