Even then though the mods often get broken as fuck and while I enjoy the gameplay fixes of various mods the graphical mods barely ever seem to work because of how out of date they are. I also don't like the heavy reliance on weird third party tools that you can't even really check if it's installed properly. Classic case of, we desperately need free market competition to introduce some proper moddable games people can play with on the same level.
Generally, the games with mods as bad as you say that barely work and take a shit ton to even get that far are already broken to begin with and the mods just reflect the shit code. I was able to teach myself to mod Darkest Dungeon because its a solidly and simply built game and that made it easy to mod top to bottom.
The Free Market made Bethesda one of the biggest video game companies despite them actively releasing nothing but barely functional broken games that they outsource fixing onto mods. So that isn't something missing from this problem.
