I was playing Travian for ages! Does that come into your definition of games you like to play?
A great browser game, free, lots of people play, very friendly. You build villages, sell crops, and protect yourself and others by forming alliances. I read somewhere its one of the most popular browser games out there. I found myself spending HOURS playing so its just as addictive as say...Mahalo!
A few pics and links if you are interested. I loved it, but spent too much time playing and thought I should have a break for a while! so much fun!!!!
Main site - each country also has its own servers so the play happens all the time! And if you are interested in graphics you can make your own skins for the game...see all the links here:

In any language too!

You get to build your village piece by piece and you can choose what type of village you want to make

And you have neighbors, sometimes friendly sometimes not :)

If enough people complain they will perhaps consent to create a server (or instance) where the rules are more specific. If you have the option of creating members-only gatherings, your modest requirements are the choice of the leader of the group.
Disney does a pretty good job of running a virtual world that is modest but it is also geared toward children. Even in those virtual worlds there are those who try to break the rules so it may take a while before some violators are caught/reported and suspended.
You seem to be more familiar with the plethora of Virtuals out there so I won't try to find one that would be more likely than the others to cater to your request. I just think it's a lost cause.
The last option I can suggest is to find a VWorld that allows mod-ing. Then create mods that you install locally to your machine that convert specific graphics to graphics of your choice.
Most people that mod games like that actually create "nude" mods so when they put on specific sets of clothes they actually look nude to anyone who is running the same mod. To everyone else they look as the game designed. So if you find the right game and find someone that makes mods, you can make a modest-mod so your machine only shows the clothing choices you want. Just remember, it's a local filter (like a chat filter) and only affects those who use the mod. No one else's game is affected.
It's worth noting that some games make you sign an agreement that prevents modding so if ethical use of software is also a concern you'll need to find a game that allows modding in the terms of use.
Final option is to give up the virtuals and go back to text rooms or engage in video conferences with real people (if you're stuck at home and can't go out to meet people in person). Good luck!

What is a good virtual world that does not include people being immodest?
I want to play on a new virtual world because I am getting tired of the other 40 i know. One thing that has been bothering me lately is virtual worlds with immodest clothes. Is there a good virtual world that has no immodesty?

Unless (until) you make your own, online games are designed to appeal to the most people possible since they are trying to make money - not uphold any particular cultures values. If enough people complain they will perhaps consent to create a server (or instance) where the rules are more specific. If you have the option of creating members-only gatherings, your modest requirements are the choice of the leader of the group.
