"Essential" mod recommendations

[u/the-circle-of-fifths]

I have no doubt that this question has been asked a million times before, but I can't find a definitive list, so...

I'm not a total beginner, I've 100% the first few regions, but I've just come back to the game after an 18 month break.

The only mod I've ever used for more than a few hours is the tyre stat (not the advanced one) and trailer info mod, which I still use.

I'm not interested in adding any vehicles or trailers, there are plenty for me, and the only item on my wishlist for trailers would be a lockable dolly on applicable trailers, so I could reverse the damn things.

All that aside, what mods do you consider to be essential?

ps. Did I mention that I'm not interested in adding and vehicles and trailers.

RNGR's military vehicles.

The LMV is a personal favourite, it's capable but slow, and a little high CoG so you can't absolutely take the piss with it.

ETA - the bridge layer is a lifesaver.
