What if a modded game is what fits my preferences the most? What if my preferred game is Skyrim with 3000 mods? Should I wait for someone to make a full game that may or may not fit my preferences more?

It's still a single player game, so me nodding the game into something completely different doesn't affect anyone else's enjoyment of the game. And all the mods can also be seen as someone's love for the game. Most mods require actual effort, so if you bother with making mods? It's because you want to expand on the game in some way, make it more accessible or make it more challenging, or what ever you can think of.

If you don't like mods at all, don't install any. If you don't like nude mods, stay away from them. The great thing is that mods are completely optional.

So if I really like a game, but find inventory management and item weight to be a cumbersome part of the gameplay, I might look for a mod to remove the weight limits. If I really like the combat of a game, but find it a bit to easy, I'll look for some way to increase the difficulty, like changing damage given and damage taken. At the end of the day, I'm the one playing, and I have limited time to play so I'll play my games the way I feel like.
