Anything we recommend right now will have an asterisk next to it because of yesterday's update. So check to make sure these are working.

It really depends on what you want to do. Some people think that all mod are cheats. Do you want to add more content? Quality of life? Make things harder instead of easier? Cosmetic changes?

I'm playing with ValheimRaft this time around which lets you build your own ship, which you can use as a mobile base. I had to loosen up building restrictions so I could put a campfire on my boat since I'm not up to iron age and stonecutting yet.

PlantEverything might be considered a cheat because it lets you plant raspberry and blueberry bushes, although the default settings have it so you need five of an item in order to place a node (for harvesting berries, mushrooms, flint etc.) so you still need to save up material if you want a farm. I got it so I could do landscaping to make my builds look nicer.

I second Valheim Plus (and hope they get it updated soon). You can make things very cheaty or go the other way and increase difficulty if you prefer. There are lots of quality of life options in it too.
