Even though it’s nothing major, and just a rather small addition, I did (and still do) enjoy the ‘Romanced NPCs in CC Ceremony’ mod.

Romanced NPCs in CC Ceremony

Your romanced NPC will take part in the Community Center restored ceremony.

www.nexusmods.com

It’s a nice touch having the NPC that you’re either dating or married to next to you during the cutscene, after CC is restored, and having that NPC talk about it. It just adds even just a small amount of something extra into the game.

I have more mods to sort through, so I’ll probably be editing this post with more that come to mind (if someone else doesn’t beat me to punch lol).


Edit;;
Life Cycle Rival Hearts Events adds in where certain bachelors and bachelorettes can date one another, with some being able to get married and have children (with the pairings having their own unique and special heart events and cutscenes). From the pairings available currently in the mod, you can remove the folders of the pairings you don’t want in your game.

Life Cycle - Rival Heart Events

This mod aims to give Stardew Valley NPCs character development by adding heart events, new schedules, dialogues and weddings.

www.nexusmods.com

Mobile Phone mod adds a cell phone to the game, where (after you reach x-amount of hearts with the NPC), you’re able to call them, replay heart event scenes through the ‘reminisce’ option. It also counts towards talking to that NPC for the day. There are chances where the NPC will call you as well.

Mobile Phone

Gives you a customizable mobile phone that lets you call and receive calls from friends to chat or replay old events! It also runs mobile apps provided by other mods.

For aesthetics, I personally love Elle’s texture packs mods.

I like the life cycle and mobile phone ones, so I'm adding those in. I honestly like the regular textures, so I'm fine without a texture pack.

I personally find Anthro Characters Continued and all related mods to be neat. But that'll only apply to a very specific audience.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I don't fancy Ridgeside Village. Doesn't feel like Stardew very much and adds "too much" imo. Then again if you play through SVE a bunch of times, maybe that will be stale, then adding Ridgeside or Zuzu would be nice lol. I preferred Vanilla playthrough, then SVE, then SVE+Ridgeside, etc.
