Mod of the Year

Back for a 17th time, welcome to the 2018 Mod of the Year Awards. You will find no loot boxes, microtransactions, unlockables or DLC here - just amazing free mods made by dedicated creators for your enjoyment. For the next 4 weeks it is up to you to vote for your favorite mods so that they may make the top 100 which will be announced on the 11th of December.

There was plenty of blood & gore to go around last year, with the fan favourite Brutal Doom claiming top spot on the podium. Coming in second was the galactic spectacle Starwars II: Thrawn's Revenge II: Ascendancy followed by an alternative C&C timeline in the Twisted Insurrection modification. If you need a refresh of how last year's awards went down head on over to the top 10 countdown's for both players and editors to see who stood out among the pack.

Show your support and start smashing those vote buttons for your favorite mods (and if your favorite mod isn't listed encourage the team to add it). Developers need to feel the overwhelming power and groundswell of support for mods, which drive so much creativity and goodwill in games of all shapes and sizes. There's been some huge releases this year, make your vote count and we look forward to seeing who will climb to the top, and be crowned the 2018 Mod of the Year.

The 2018 Mod of the Year Awards has concluded the first round of voting, and after 10 days and over 50,000 votes have been tallied across over 10,000 mods in the running, the final Top 100 nominees have been revealed! Phase 2 has begun, in which voting is now open for the Top 100 mods to determine 2017’s ultimate winner. You have until December 21 to cast your votes!


It’s been an incredible year for mods with some of the highlights including Fallout: New California, Ghost Recon: Heroes Unleashed, Sins of the Prophets, and SYSTEM SHOCK: ReWired. Mod-friendly games such as Fallout: New Vegas, Doom, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and Half-Life are also well-represented. Despite newer triple-A titles restricting access to mods and user-created content, the modding scene is still alive and well as these nominees clearly show.

You can vote for more than one mod, so be sure to cast a vote for all the mods you think are worthy of a win!


Congratulations to all the modders whose projects made it into the 2018 Mod of the Year Top 100 . Now is the time to rally your community to support to secure votes and spread the word about your mod far and wide. Be sure to continue updating your community about future releases, developments, screenshots, and videos of in-progress work. Congratulations also to those mods who didn’t make the Top 100, but came incredibly close. And finally, thanks to mod.io for supporting the 2018 Mod of the Year Awards!
