Civ V best mods

[finker]

Hello guys
Can someone tell me what the best mod setup is today? I have played over 1000 hours in Civ V and about 700 in Civ VI. However, I didn't like the sixth, despite many cool mechanics, it is very formulaic and too easy. Even at the highest level. I was hoping that VII would breathe some freshness and they would return to the good elements adding some new ideas. Unfortunately, reading the new announcements, at best you can expect a good game a few months after the premiere.
I would go back to the fifth, which was a great game. But it is not without flaws, I would like a better AI that makes it know when to attack you, when you are doing badly and deals with building a civilization on its own.Today, my model for this is Total War Warhammer II, where the opponent can give you a hard time.
So what do you think? If you are still playing Civ V, what mods do you use?

Hi. I'd like to go back to play Civ V, and I was wondering if you could give me recommendations for the best mods to install.

I would check out this topic, but I consider Enhanced User Interface as practically essential. It is not on Steam Workshop, though.

Here's what I play with. These mods are all on the Steam workshop.

1. Community Patch (steam version)
2. Better Resource Buildings
3. Coasts and Rivers Yield Gold Again
4. Early Production Fix
5. Fallout Damage
6. Great People do not Ignore Borders
7. Improved Industrial and Modern Warfare
8. InfoAddict
9. Krakatoa Fix
10. No InstaHeal
11. True ICBM Mod
12. Unit Iron and Oil Requirements
13. Units - No Futuristic Units

I also like the pacing of the game better if I play on quick speed with the Slower Research 50% mod.

Lowly civ4 player here. Is there an equivalent of BUG/BAT and blue marble and other non game play mods? Looks like enhanced UI mod is like BUG from civ4? I'd like to try any UI improvements and slight balance changes or smaller AI changes, not total conversions.

Community Patch and Info Addict. They're both on the workshop. I like the civ5 UI as it is. It's the best in the series.

Does info Addict work well with Community Patch (no VP, just patch by itself)

 

[Quoth the Raven]

Yes.

 

[Skyfox]

Yes.

Thank You. I just installed it

Thanks, I bookmarked your link. I will check out the mod, once I get the hang of this game. I won my first ever civ game yesterday. I still can't figure out on how to get Info Addict working. Where is the icon for it? so confusing. It shows on the MOD option page that it is enabled.

Is the community patch the one from the steam workshop? I found out that vox populi wouldn't let my steam mods work.
