The first three suggestions I would deem kid-compatible (maybe a bit too complex, but that depends on the particular kid), but...Elder Scrolls and Fallout? That stuff's for grown-ups, maybe older teenagers, but definitely not kids of the ages that this thread is about.

The game in question is Minecraft, which in fairness is about as flexible as they get. Sadly it’s also riddled with multiplayer servers taking real money for cosmetic upgrades and super powered pick axes now.
I’m considering moving him off the XBox version and over to a Raspberry Pi or similar soon so he can just play with mods, but that’s a whole other can of worms around properly managing internet access (something he currently does in a very controlled environment).
You might want to check out games where there are free modding tools and extensive fan-made mods available, like Planet Coaster or Parkitect (both Rollercoaster Tycoon-style theme park building games), Cities: Skylines (a SimCity-type city builder), or the ever-popular Elder Scrolls or Fallout series.
