I recommend using a certain Enhanced User Interface { EUI } mod that does not result in the disabling of Steam Achievements, AND
that enables repositioning Camera view to a selected unit, or City State, or Civilization with only a single click through display of readily visible icons along the left and right screen margins.
EUI also enables viewing the Promotions of each unit by mousing over it or selecting the unit icon at the left margin.

EUI is available from "Forums.CivFanatics.com" at
https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/civ5-enhanced-user-interface.24303/

EUI is NOT in the Steam Workshop, most likely because of the method of installation.
EUI must be downloaded from CivFanatics &installed manually so it behaves like a DLC and will NOT disable Steam Achievements :SocialPolicy:

EUI has lots of glitches and bugs, is honestly not worth it. There even text going outside the field of view, most people no longer use it.

I would also stay away from Community Patch as well, which shifted development recently, but is still pretty unstable as well and presents more bugs than it fixes (while breaking balance).

You can check the last pages of the topics for EUI and Community Patch to confirm the huge amount of issues both MODs have.

EUI - https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/enhanced-user-interface.512263/
Community Patch - https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/community-patch-how-to-install.528034/

If you still want EUI, I recommend the Legacy version.

I recommend:
IGE+ (not the one on Steam, is outdated), https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/ingame-editor.30070/
Unit Scaling and Formation which is a superior alternative to RED, also released recently, https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/unit-scaling-and-formation.30065/
Then you have Quick Turns on Steam Workshop, https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=220250184

Besides that you can look for graphics mods (icons, religions, etc), those are all personal preference, and since they don't rely on scripts, are fine to use without making the game unstable.

There also some other MODs that can expand the game, also personal preference.

check my coilections (both favorited & mine). I've 2, one for general quality of life and overall improvements, another for war-focused aspects.
There's about 40+ in each to look through, and a lot of them work well together, I like to think they're a refined collection of compatible mods (all credit to creators)

R.E.D. Mod. It changes nothing of gameplay itself and is a graphical or art surface. It gives units unique looks for each civilization (new unit skins). Like if you play the Japanese you will get Samurai or Ashigaru looking spearmen, the Yamato look for your battleship etc. R.E.D. mod also shrinks units to look more like armies with more (but smaller) units in them. R.E.D. actually stands for Regiment and Ethnic Diversity, so that why they get different looks for each civ, as well as a more regiment size of units (more soldiers in each unit). I personally think they become a bit too small, so I also use a mod mod on top of R.E.D. which reverts the size of units back to original, but still keep the ethnic/national looks of units.

The R.E.D. mod gives me a lot more immersion. Another good thing is if you only run that plus the mod mod, achievements still counts, since it does not alter any balance or mechanics, just the look of units. It does not give you any advnatages or make the game easier.

I hope you find that mod fun. :Citadel:

It's probably a bit of late, but for other readers...

If you are interested in upgraded vanilla game, download LEKMOD and Lekmap.
It's actually MP mod, but it works just fine as SP (game is a bit of harder). It's regularly updated. It's installed like DLC not like mod, so it can't work with 99% of other mods.

For additional mod, use Enchanced UI legacy v1.28g - don't use later versions with Lekmod.
