Mods to make singleplayer more fun

[Brogin]

Looking for mods to add specific progression to singleplayer.

Auction house looks dope and opens communication to the outside world

i do NOT want any kind of Primal fear mods as the animations usualy melt my pc.

NPC stuff sounds cool if it exists, something where NPC tribes will slowely build up over time, could lock down zones where i have to take them down to even be able to explore

I play with 4 mods routinely:

Structures Plus: I added this one after having difficulty building up near a cliff (the stackable foundations enabled that), but found it has a lot of quality of life improvements, such as not having to collect feces and eggs myself, a Nanny that automatically feeds and imprints baby dinos, a farmer that automatically collects crops, etc.

Awesome Spyglass - It tells you the type and quantity of food needed to tame a dino and how many narcotics you will need (basically Dododex ingame). It also allows you to see the original stats of a dino which are the only one that counts when breeding.

Creature Finder Deluxe - this allows you to find lost dinos as well as shows you the location of wild dinos. This does not work well in single player mode because the game only loads the immediate area near you. Dedicated servers don't have this problem.

Castles, Keeps, and Forts Remastered - I added this only for its pretty textures, but found that structures are stable. It's version of the forge is considerably smaller than vanilla.

these are all banger mods, only mod i dont enjoy is the dino finder because it just feels like your using cheats along with the upgrade station and those OP tranq mods

I'm afraid I don't really know of any mods that add some kind of progression besides the game's base style of building up, breeding for mutations and fighting bosses. And while there have been a few NPC mods in the past, none of them have been updated for ages and I have no idea if they still work or not.

But I can suggest a couple of mods I love to use in my solo games:

Adds alternatives to the standard (boring) 'KO then sit around for hours' taming method. Makes taming more fun and involved, and develops more of a bond with your creatures. And it's very customisable so you can make it as OP or balanced as you wish.

Adds items which you can put into your dino's inventory, which boost their stats in certain areas. Great for balancing solo play when you don't have a large tribe of other people backing you up. Again can be customised to make it more OP or balanced, and requires artifacts to craft so can't be rushed to make you too powerful too quickly.
