I can't listen to a podcast or video essays (also post your fav video essays too) and I need something stimulating to focus on but not so much focus as to not be able to comprehend the podcast

I really really like the overhaul that is Strudeler's CIV VI deluxe, and enjoy the Dynamic city/leader/unit names from SeelingCat. I run civ on a shite integrated graphics laptop and have to download the mods manually to make sure updates don't fuck me over b/c I enjoy playing weeks-long ultramarathon games solo with the Extended Eras Mod. I can list some added civs, wonders, nat wonders, and secret societies too, but browse the workshop and find some creators you like, and they should be great.

Just realized that I made this list from an old list, here are a few other essentials:

Railroads by Traders
Mountain Tunnels at Steam Power
Top Panel Extension
Customization VI
Coexistence of Districts and Resources (With all resource can be harvest)
Actual Sparse Resources
Radial Measuring Tool
Nut9931's Hellraiser Difficulty MOD
Social Mechanics's Happiness Rework
What Did I Promise?
Notification Log
Great Rivers Regional Identities
More Beneficial Random Events
Phantagonist's Chinese Dynasty Uniques
Annex City-States
Phantagonist's Chinese City Names
Phantagonist's City-States - Silk Road and Beyond
Second Unique Infrastructure
Sukritact's Urban Identities
Savannah
C&P: Domestic Trade Bonuses
C&P: Naval Trade Protection
Triple Natural Wonders
Workable 4th Ring
Kalendae - Calendar Flavor Mod
City states that prohibit expansion
Mixed Farms
Barbarians Actually Get No Free Techs
City Banner Refresh Fix
Religion++
More (or Less) Religions
YD's Better Civil Engineering
Guaranteed Oasis
Set individual variables [[NB I don't use this one yet but it looks promising]]
National Infrastructure Projects
No first messenger of city state
EPSTweak for Policies - No removal, no buffs
Mistake Era(Future Era Update) Ver 0.95
Ancient Era Diplomatic Policies
Enable Wonders On Mountains
Science/Culture Overflow Bug Fix
Sort Tech and Civic Unlocks
Terrain and Feature Adjacent Yields V 0.9
Phantagonist's Slavery and Emancipation
Phantagonist's Three Kingdoms Leader Pack
Tech Civic Progress Plus

From these, workable 4th ring is probably the biggest change, along with city states prohibit expansion. I have supplanted the desert woods with the savannah mod for better flavoring, and really like all phantagonist's mods, especially the china expansions. Top panel expansion is a great UI mod.

Overall it's lots of cheese but I think they're fun :) happy to answer any questions

thanks, comrade, that's a lot of mods!

Looks like this adds in a lot of nuance that isn't in the vanilla game. I have enjoyed the vanilla version and never used mods . i should have a bit more time in 2025 and plan to play a bit more civ vi . I'll give some of these mods a whirl

if i were to start with one or two mods, which of your list give the most oomf to a game? (If it helps, I don't always have time for super long games .)

Real rivers for random maps - great map gen script
