[GS] Best "smooth" difficulty mod?

[Tomice]

I've seen several mods on the workshop that change difficulty settings in a way I really like - less free stuff in the beginning (especially no free settlers or techs) but more ongoing science, production, ... bonus.
I don't like it when the AI gets countless starting bonuses, making the early game super challenging, but everything is mostly decided by the midgame.

Any experiences which of them works best (with the current patch)?

I'm using the Smoother Difficulty 2.0 mod (without tourism scaling), which is working very well with the current patch. There is also a difficulty above deity in this mod, which had me leed to some interesting end games and also some last-minute science victorys before the AI had won, so I can definitly recommend it, even if I don't know if it is the best:
