Mods, no mods, what impresses you?

Ive seen so many beautiful buildings, creative and stunning often containing building blocks the normal game doesn't have and so on.

Some of us are really into the building-part of the game, but what are people's opinions on mod-using, freebuilding and freefly?

Is that tall castle still just as impressive if you know they've used mods and no building cost?

I haven't tried any mods yet, I've fled a few times and I've spawned mushrooms for the boars, and I have my seeds where I farm, to me that's cheating as it is. I kinda like the roleplay part, if I can put it like that, without being a "roleplayer".

I'm gonna be honest. To me, the most impressive buildings are ofc mod-made and/or freebuild and freefly, but I must admit the time I spend studying them aren't just as long as when I study someone's truly hard work, even if it's a smaller cozy house in the Meadows with a neat small garden.

Not sure if this has been brought up, but since I didn't touch the game from April until 2 weeks ago I'm doing it now, seeing all the builds on YouTube and such.
