Sandbox Games

GTA: San Andreas was the best one for me.
EVE online
Minecraft
simcity 2000
A friend and I used to play Worms as a sandbox, digging tunnels and building bases before we'd agree to then blow each other up.
 
OP Flashpoint/ARMA/ARMA2

Some might argue that they're not proper sandbox, but despite having to play the campaign in traditional levels, you can complete each mission however you want. That's sandbox for me.

For me ...

X3: Terran Conflict - Do you want to be a ruthless pirate despised in all sectors for your cruel acts against any race you come across or a universally loved goods trader with an underground weed and space fuel trading network or roll your own fate ...

GTA IV - Shoot, stab, punch, blow up, baseball bat to the head, run over then reversed over ... these are just some of the ways you can kill a hooker ... after which you can go for a refreshing cold beer at your local.

Minecraft - Build a fancy little house with a fancy little garden. Dig for resources while listening out for zombies, skeletons, spiders and keeping your fingers crossed you never hear "SSSsssSSS" while surviving in a lovely world of lego like fun. Or run through a forest at night surrounded by creepers while shouting "GET TO THE CHOPPA"



:)

JC 2 for just the epic map and graphical goodness. Minecraft is also epic but a totally different game.

Ask and you shall receive:

Current Version Mods:

Sword of Damocles

Only just got started with this one but it's one of the most established and complete mods for M&B. You're a king and you have to manage a kingdom. It features new dimplomacy, kingdom management, troop management... Plus, a huge amount of new items and units. It's very impressive but definately for M&B veterans.

Lords and Realms

Adds a lot of depth to the game and adds kingdom management but sticks closer to vanilla than SOD. A good interim step before stepping up to the challenge of SOD.

Caldaria at War

A rebalance of vanilla giving more depth to the factions. Re-worked troop trees, new weapons, combat etc. This mod is recommended if you want an enhanced vanilla experience without too much change to the overall feel.

For older versions:

Onin No Ran

Feudal Japan total conversion. Far from complete and a bit limited in scope. However it's a fun hack and features quests, factions and several 'classes'. Work unfortunately seems to have stopped on this one :(

The Last Days

LOTR total conversion. Do I need to write anything further to sell it? ;)

Work is being done to convert this to Warband and I will be downloading it on day one of release, locking myself in my room and will start to use words like 'forsooth' and 'verrily' on a regular basis to help immersion. I may even dress up as a Dwarf. :D

A Song of Ice and Fire

TC based on the books by George R. R. Martin. Haven't played it myself but a friend is a big fan of the books and a follower of this mod. Work in also being done to port this to Warband.

I've played others which have come-and-gone, some of which were very basic compared to today's offerings. It's crazy to think that some of these mods started in M&B beta as far back as 2005.

Edit:

Steam install is identical to normal version install. Shove them in your modules folder and select them from the drop-down at the startup menu.

Darkfall Online

Still to this day, my favourite mmo so far. the world is fantastic, combat is fantastic.

I was just tired of all the **** talking that constantly went on, and the guild went too large for my liking.
