Here's my QOL mod list I cannot live without (in order from best to worst):

  1. Move It! Lets you move any item in the game, as well as adjust heights and curvature of networks.
  2. Traffic Manager: President Edition A godsend of intersection and network tooling.
  3. Precision Engineering Allows you to get more detailed info when placing roads. Also allows you to set specific angles for your roads.
  4. Network Extensions 2 Gives you a bunch of new roads, plus lets you configure the driving AI.
  5. Info View Button Enabled Always shows the info view panel (which doesn't unlock until like 18k population)
  6. Fine Road Tool Lets you place roads with automatic ground inclines, or tunnels, or bridges, or raised. It's pretty stellar.x
  7. Loading Screen Mod This one caches loaded resources so you don't have to reload them when going back to the main menu
  8. Total Autobudget Automatically adjusts your budget. Gives warnings when you go overbudget so you can build additional services.
  9. Fine Road Anarchy Lets you place and move roads really close together, even overlapping.
  10. Find It! Find any asset in the game. Great for finding trees or benches or roads.
  11. Extended Game Options Many additional options. I use this to skip to "Small Town" so I have incinerators to start with, and all of the roads.
  12. Automatic Bulldoze v2 Automatically razes abandoned or burned out buildings
  13. Prop Line Tool Makes prop-placement easier, from paint-brush style placement, to lines to circles, etc
  14. Prop and Tree Anaarchy Allows you to place props really close together. Super useful for building tree-lined boulevards.
  15. Zoning toolset Lets you toggle zonable areas next to road. Additionally, can upgrade zones next to a road, but I can't figure out how to do that
  16. Font Selector Lets you select the font and size in game. I'm half-blind, so super useful for me.
  17. 81 tiles Lets you buy all 81 tiles on a map. Can also unlock all tiles for free if you just don't want to deal with boundaries

My additional QOL mods that I could live without:

  1. Automatic Emptying Automatically empties landfills and cemetaries into the tier 2 buildings when they get full.
  2. Prop Precision Makes lines of props line up correctly. Especially useful for fences
  3. Sharp Junction Angles This allows you to make nice sharp angled roads, instead of that little curvy thing.
  4. More Beautification Additional prop-based tools. Also needed for some of the above mods.
  5. Extra Landscaping Tools
  6. Network Tiling Properly tiles custom networks (roads, rails, etc)
  7. Network Skins A ton of new roads
  8. Show It! Additional information panel when selecting people, vehicles and buildings
  9. City Vitals Watch Little status bars for various things, like electricity, water and sewage processing. Configurable
  10. Quay Anarchy Allows you to place quays anywhere, as well as get them up close and personal with water systems.
  11. Ploppable Asphalt+ Make nice custom roads/parking lots, etc. Not really used this yet though. Just added it the other day.
  12. Higher Income Mod 1.2a Supposed to let you set the multiplier for various districts. I've not turned this one on yet. Been meaning to though
  13. Ploppable RICO Allows you to place buildings down. Not entirely sure how to work it properly though

Building mods that I find useful (in no particular order):

  • 1MW Ploppable Solar Cover Can be placed anywhere, including over roadways. Useless at night or during rain.
  • 4x1 Solar Covered Parking Provides 1MW of power (when sunny AND daytime). Also provides 12 parking spaces.
  • Solar Parking Lot 4x1 As above
  • Solar Parking Lot 2x2 Provides 12 parking spaces plus 1MW of electricityu
  • 4x4 4MW SOlar Powered Parkign Lot Provides 24 parking spaces
  • Parking Lot A 1x10 parking lot with like 15 spaces
  • 2x4 Parking Lot v2.0 Provides a nice chunk of parking.
  • Grass Parking Lot 4x2 Nicer looking parking lot than above, but fewer spaces
  • Better Crematorium As described.
  • Rural Recycling Center A very small recycling center.
  • Rural Clinic A very small clinic.
  • Rural Police Station [Re-Upload] A very small police station.
  • Rural Firestation A very small fire station.
  • 1x2 Local Fire House A tiny fire station. I use these in the middle of my big squares to add extra coverage
  • Doctor's Office A reskin of the medical clinic
  • Small Clinic A slightly smaller clinic
  • Urban Elementary School A reskin of the elementary school
  • Large WAter Pumping Station A 4x pumping station. Costs more, more maintenance. Pretty nice
  • Advanced Incineration Plant A more expensive, and more costly to maintain incinerator that produces more power and handles more trash
  • Large Advanced Incineration Plant Even more of the above
  • Large Recycling Center This thing is about twice as effective as the normal one. Expensive to run though. And increases congestion near the building.
  • Path Block 1x4B - Pink Brick A small happiness booster for next to parks
  • Path Block 1x4A - Cobblestone A small happiness booster for next to parks
  • Soldyne's Chain Link Fence x4 A 4-length long chain link fence
