Vanilla Expanded++
Vanilla Expanded with a few dozen other mods, it is Lightweightish modpack with 116 mods. Also, since the only dlc I have is biotech :(, the pack does not include any mods that require other dlcs.
After a litany of tests, I got the game only running at ~3gb of ram on a fresh, day one save (Main culprit was the vehicle framework sadly, it skyrocketed the ram usage to 5gb of ram). The game should run smoothly for you.
Includes a few mods that might be considered OP (Rimefeller, Immortals, and quarry).
I highly suggest you use the RimPy mod manager. It has a function to convert image files to .dds files(optimize tex button), which are more efficient. It's also rather convenient. The auto sort function will create a good load order for you, and you can save several different lists of mods.
