Mods are quite fun, and very extensive. Just make sure the mod is up to date with hearth and home and you won't have much trouble installing and playing.
I use manual plugins, but there is a mod manager for valheim as well with thunderstore and it's mods. You can use the mods from both thunderstore and nexus pretty easily with manual plugins, so don't worry too much about it having 2 sites to download mods from.
