Actual QoL (less pausing, more playing)
Almost all of the mods here just streamline the process of doing things. If you pause often in vanilla, these mods are catered towards you. It won't make the game easier, but it will make it more enjoyable. More playing, less pausing.
Most of these mods do not change the way the game works, they just remove the need for extra clicks, or extra pausing while playing.
This is the kind of modlist I would even recommend to someone new to the game (assuming you add the mods slowly, so you actually understand what they do)
There is a LOT of QOL here, while still keeping the game balanced. For the most part, you don't actually get any advantage with these mods, cause everything they do, you can already do yourself, but it's tedious to do.
