A Topic for Lore-friendly and first-time ideal Mods Suggestions!

I'm weird about mods.
I love them, but only for enchancing the game, fixing bugs and removing censorships.
As we grow up, our time becomes limited, and we want our first time with a game to be ideal! However many games leave aspects to be desired. Cut content, Censorships, Undercooked/Unballanced promissing mechanics, bad dubbing, out of place Wokeness... There are many things you'd wish you'd had experienced differently, and so thought the people who made certain mods.
The problem is, you can't go blindly to a mod-site for a game you haven't played, and scroll through Sex Dungeons, Dificulty hacks, CJ costumes and open spoilers, just to find the things you think would be ideal for a first time play. By the time you'll have researched all aspects that would improve the game, all the magic of the new player experience will be lost.

The topic Rules are simple.
  • No non-lore friendly mod suggestions!
    • No reviving dead characters unless they work outside of the story mode and are properly ballanced.
    • No bizzare costumes from other unrelated franchises.
    • Yes to existing costume and model improvements, if all they do is enhance the graphics, cohesion and make character match their promotional material.
    • Yes to nude mods if they make sense, like for example removing in game all of the character's armor and gear should leave them in a birthday suit instead of a loin cloth.
  • No Diffuclty mods unless:
    • The game is notorious for being annoyingly difficult due to brocken mechanics and fixing it change the difficulty ballance.
    • The game is notorious for being to easy compared to others in the series.
    • There are broken skills that cheese the game and fixing them restore a normality.
  • No open spoilers! Think that someone who have not played the game might read this. Try to keep your description vauge.
  • Mods that remove censorship like toning down a scene that was different in the trailers or Japanese release are encouraged.
  • Mods that remove bizzare woke choices like black vickings or an overabundance of homosexual simbols and characters in a context that doesn't justify them are encouraged.
  • Mods that rebalance the game to be comparable to it's sequels are encouraged.
  • Mods that enhance graphics are encouraged.
  • Mods that alter graphics or scenes to match continuity are encouraged.
  • Rom hacks and translations are fair game! Just avoid posting directly roms here.
Let me start with an example!

BIG EXAMPLE!
