I mean, the modded game is not the game when you get right down to it. I've played mods for other games and Final Fantasy VII New Threat is not Final Fantasy VII. I cannot say how I feel about FFVII based on that mod.

Same for these games. I can't say how I feel about them when taking into account fan-added content. It be like reviewing A Song of Ice and Fire while taking into account some Danfy fanfiction I read.
The modding community is very cognizant of that and distinguishes mods based on whether they're "lore-friendly," in terms of the creative direction of the development team. Many of the definitive modding guides will designate whether a mod is lore-friendly or not.

The visual options are astounding and go beyond just graphical fidelity, such as making the menus more intuitive and user-friendly for PC, changing the scaling and positioning of the HUD, using different fonts and making the world map more aesthetically pleasing.

Even if you don't plan on modding you should at a bare minimum install the unofficial patches, as there are still countless bugs that Bethesda has left in the games.
