Borrowing some of the harder ones like Climates and Calories, Warm Ashes, and Sigil, wile also avoiding mods like Ironman or Power Struggle, and also taking advantage of some serious quality of life mods like Levelup Adjuster.
Regardless of what kind of experience you aim to have however, I highly recommend the General Fixes and Open World sections of the load-out, the rest, take what you want.
