Zekiran's partial mod list Use these only after you have thoroughly read their instructions, bug reports, etc, to make sure they do what you want and that you have their REQUIREMENTS met. I didn't list some basics like Place Everywhere and Scrap Everything but those are, in fact ESSENTIAL for most of these to work correctly. Also it looks like some others have been deleted so I can't link them, such as Orphans of the Commonwealth and a couple like that, giving new options for your game's npcs :/ Not sure when some of them were removed but a couple seem to be because the author either got themselves banned or left.
