Please state clearly how many points you give to each mod.
You can change your votes in the future (please, make a new post instead of editing an old one).

P.S. Yes, this topic is like Doomworld Community Top WADs of All Time, but for gameplay mods.

[m8f]

Well, somebody has to start. Some of my favorites, without any ranking:
1 Beautiful Doom
1 Dead Marine
1 Doom 2 Minor Sprite Fixing Project
1 Final Doomer
1 Footsteps
1 High Noon Drifter
1 NC HUD
1 Sound Caulking
1 SpriteShadow
1 The Trailblazer

Important note: this is not a competition between mods, it is just a list of mods sorted by player preferences.
This list can be useful for both players (to know what to play) and mod developers (as a compatibility checklist).

If you think your favorite mod isn't getting the amount of attention it deserves, post it here.
If you want to show your appreciation of an old mod without bumping forum topic, post it here.

This is my list and opinion based on what I played:

I like randomizer mods, so this is how it goes and in no particular order
-Aeons of Death
-HXRTC Project
-Shuffle 667
-Complex Doom+LCA

Favorite/Joke mods that I can include are:
-Russian Overkill (I like OP weapons)
-La Tailor Girl (love the variety here)
-Banhammer (ban all the bastards and it's also an anti-archie spam resurrection)
-Abort_m (fun wackyness, love it)
-Hearts of Baron (be the toughest demon)
-Daytime Drama TC (I like how clean it looks and it's also really fun to play)
-PSX TC and Doom 64 Retribution TC (I have a weakness for those two versions and I love both of them)

Honorable mentions:
-DoomRPG
-Colorful Hell
-ouch_m
-Universal Gibs
-Guncaster
-Smooth Doom

[m8f]

Great!
Well, I'll change the rules, but only one time. I'm adding 13 mods (not counting honorable mentions), and each of it gets 1 point as you didn't set the points.

[Brohnesorge]

Alright, uh...

4 - Guncaster
4 - Johnny Doom
2 - Hideous Destructor
3 - Colorful Hell
2 - Juvenile Power Fantasy

wew 15 points is not as much as I thought.

Can't vote for Hearts of Demons -BARON because putting my own mod I catered to myself would be in poor taste.

[Caligari87]

5 - Hideous Destructor
3 - D4D
2 - Stronghold: Edge of Chaos
2 - WolfenDoom: Blade of Agony
1 - NJTrain
1 -SpriteShadow
1 - Perkristan's HD Sounds

[Rachael]

I'm intentionally not going to mention any projects here I had any direct personal involvement with.

3 - Project Einherjar
3 - Strange Aeons
2 - Unloved
2 - Ghoul School 3D
2 - Castlevania - Simon's Destiny
1 - Chex Quest 3
1 - Winter's Fury
1 - TGRDM3

[m8f]

Tally is updated.

[Rachael]

You accidentally listed Castlevania twice.

4. Castlevania - Simon's Destiny [2: Rachael: 2]
5. Beautiful Doom [1: m8f: 1]
5. Castlevania - Simon's Destiny [1: m8f: 1]

[m8f]

Oops, a bug. Fixed. Also now entries are alphabetically sorted inside ranks.

[Hipnotic Rogue]

I think I'll leave out the big mods as I reckon people'll already know them. Besides, I have a soft spot for smaller mods and I feel they often get overlooked or taken for granted. My list (off the top of my head) would include:

Nashgore
Qtilt
Duke Shadows (I love Nash's 'little' add-ons!)
Droplets
Brutalkick
Damnums
Eriguns 2 (particularly the Heretic compatible version)
Doom64 Weapons Mod
Wardust's Heretic Sprite Replacements
Rachael's Fluids pack
Heretic Widescreen HUD
GZSHUD (for Doom WADs and mods that support it)
SBrightmaps

These all make up my everyday Dooming experience these days. All add something fresh but none take away from the core experience and I'm so grateful to have them to play with.

EDIT: Having just played through Doom 2, Map02, I'm embarrassed to say that I forgot all about the beauty of njsplash. What a difference that thing makes!

[Caligari87]

Just as an aside, Duke Shadows and Sprite Shadows are the same thing, Nash just renamed it.

[Shadelight]

Hearts of Demons: Baron - 4
GMOTA - 3
Colorful Hell - 2
Winter's Fury - 3
Demonic Counterstrike - 2
