NOTE ON THE FUTURE
I am retiring from maintaining this collection. It has been a pleasure to create and update the pack for the past 5 years, but now it is time for me to move on. My thanks goes to the thousands of people who have tested, played, and commented on the collection, and the thousands who gave it upvotes, making it one of the highest ranked collections in Stellaris. It has been a pleasure, and I will be leaving it here to stand as a testament to what solid mod curation looks like.

The ultimate collection of mods for Stellaris 3.7 aimed at giving the most amazing and fun (and hopefully somewhat balanced) experience available. Do you like starships and combat? Extra Ship Components has you covered. Want a longer and wilder progression? Say hello to end-game mods like Ancient Cache of Technologies and Gigastructural Engineering. How about a more diverse and exciting galaxy to explore? Planetary Diversity, Real Space, and Guilli's Planet Modifiers will spice up the exploration phase of your game. Interested in crafting unique empires and species to fit your style? Mods like Ethics & Civics, Government Variety Pack, and Xenology will help you do just that.

These are just the core mods; many other mods supplement these to enhance the whole Stellaris experience. Traditions, ships, planetary infrastructure, traits, ascension perks, technology, diplomacy, civics, governments, and subjects; no part of the game is left vanilla with this collection.

This collection runs well and all mods are compatible and tested. If you have any problems, questions, comments, or suggestions, leave a comment and I will answer ASAP! I continually update and refine this collection to make it the best it can be. I recommend you join The Stellaris Modding Den's Discord to keep up with Stellaris mods.

It is HIGHLY recommended to use Irony Mod Manager[bcssov.github.io] to set and order your mods.

This pack is very frequently updated, I suggest you read the Changelog to see mods added/removed.

THIS IS IMPORTANT.
The order of the mods here is the order they need to be in the launcher. Please take the time to do this to ensure you have a proper testing environment.

If you have notice a conflict stemming from mod order, let me know in the comments and so I can fix it.

As always, heavily modded games will cause performance issues in the late game. The biggest problem is ships and pops, so I recommend that when you reach the point that you gain Precursor ships, that you replace large fleets of vanilla ships with smaller fleets of those more powerful ships. Additionally, I recommend that you focus your economy toward megastructures in the late game, and get rid of excess pops that could be lagging the games.

If you see anything that seems broken or overpowered, leave a comment and I’ll see what I can do.

-600-1000 stars
-AI Empires: 15-20
-Tech/Unity slider to 0.25 (lots of new techs to research)
-Habitable worlds slider to 0.25 or 0.5 (helps reduce lag in the end game)
-Marauders: 2-3
-Fallen Empires: 3-5
-Difficulty: Personal preference, Ensign should be better than vanilla
-Graphics: Medium, High if you want to take good screenshots

-Gigastructures Mod Settings: I recommend increasing the difficulty of the crises from Gigastructures, since this pack contains some pretty powerful mods. I also recommend increasing the costs of megastructures for the AI to match the player, if playing on difficulties higher than Ensign
-Kasako's Mod: The option on the left, with no extra content and just the basic functionalities
-Other Mod Settings: Default

-Optional Addons: Graphics and Roleplay Mods Not updated yet

If you decide to give me a good rating, why thank you! It really motivates me. If you give me a downvote, please explain why, as I want to improve!
