Anyone know where I can find a decent collection of curated Doom mods? (archive.org)

The link attached to this post contains all Cacoaward winners from 2004 to 2020. I have seen a few others on Archive.org such as this one but they seem more focused on backing up everything.

I am wondering if there is a collection of total conversion mods like Total Chaos, Trench Foot, and Ashes 2063 for example.

I imagine there are a lot of best Doom WAD lists out there but it would be nice to not have to go through the effort of downloading them individually.

Thanks for responding!

I use Doom Launcher to manage all my mods and maps and it works very well for that, letting you easily build sets of mods+maps to use together, and it can download files from the idgames archive so that’s convenient too.

Is there something like this for GZDoom? A lot of what I have been playing says to use it specifically.

Otherwise, i dunno, maybe this is a good pitch for a Doom-heavy YouTuber like Mutant Mods or Mr. Icarus? It’s extra work for them, but doing a showcase video plus a bundle to get all the mods showcased would make for fun content.

I have been following Mutant Mods for a while. decino and Vargskelethor's Vine Mapping Contest 2016 also showed off some neat Doom maps. I'll check out Mr Icarus.

I imagine that getting permission from all the authors would be troublesome though.

I didn't think of that part. I guess I am too used to seeing massive WAD collections posted and sold everywhere.
