What are some comfy video games? I have a ps4 and pc. I played zelda breath of the wild on the cemu emulator about 7 months ago and it was extremely comfy. What comfy games have you been playing, anons?

Morrowind for starters. There's no other game in the Elder Scrolls series which encourages quite so much quiet contemplation sightseeing, enjoying alien landscapes and just watching the artificial world go about its business.
I also recommend Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. It has an insane difficulty curve, but once you figure out how to survive the first few days, it becomes a comfy simulator as you raid towns for furniture and supplies to construct your little hidey-hole where you can read survival books while you watch for wandering zombears who want to eat your head like a meat lollipop.
Even more comfy is UnReal World, where the challenge is just you against the world, running trap lines and throwing spears at seals, trying to store up calories to keep you going while your fish jerky dries so you can survive long enough to build a well-insulated cabin in the woods. It's entirely up to you whether you want to spend your days tracking elk through the woods with your faithful hunting dogs at your side or trade rabbit skins for some rough chainmail and go hunting slavers for loot.

Does morrowwind have a decent amount of mods to make the gameplay/graphics a little bit closer to modern standards?

you know there aint no comfier game than minecraft. I've never had a better time than curling up under a blanket and building a nice little home.

It's going to look pretty fucking dated no matter what, but after a few hours you will adjust.
I'm honestly really excited for the Skywind project, if that's still going on, just for the chance to see Vvardenfell in cutting edge of 2011 graphical fidelity.

I -want- to say Witcher 3 is comfy, but it's kinda hard sometimes with the tedious bullshit they throw at you. Like all the looting, crafting, treasure hunting, and inventory management: it's sort of rewarding in the sense that they activate your lizard brain n shit, but it really isn't since almost none of what you find is good for shit but selling off and weighing you down.
The only games I truly find comfy are story driven games with likeable, memorable characters and emotional impact, like Life is Strange, Undertale, and The Cat Lady, or just casual, pretty games. I also liked Gone Home and A Story About My Uncle. They don't make you mindlessly grind shit for the sake of "muh playtime" or "muh content."
Mirror's Edge has a very comfy style/aesthetic, but the bullshit time limits on bullshit side missions kinda kills it for me. Plus they might as well all be the same, delivering some random tube from here to there in a super short time.

Who cares? Yes, there are plenty of mods which increase the graphics and improve the models and some which even rebuild the game from the ground up, but if a game is immersive enough you stop noticing. I've been playing NetHack non-stop since 1988 and that's just a bunch of fucking letters on a screen.

I've been playing some ETS2 lately, waiting for my unopened copy of FS2004 to come in the mail.

are you playing with a wheel? I really want to love ets2 but I always start falling asleep while playing it and I feel that's in part because it just isn't that fun without a wheel, but I also don't want to spend a shitton of money just to find out

Nope, I'm playing with mouse and keyboard, the mouse standing in as the steering wheel so I can still have analog control. I'll get a wheel eventually though. I don't even really think it's a "game", more like a highly interactive screen saver. It's nice to listen to a podcast or something and haul cargo hundreds of miles. Cruise control really helps, it lets you zone out a little bit.
