This was originally a bit of a parody of Essence's collection, being about the mods that have the least problems as opposed to the ones that add the most content. I cannot however in good conscience put only 5 mods here. These mods are all relatively flawless and well balanced, and thus I can highly recommend them. Adding them will not make your dredmor experience wildly different from what it is unmodded, nor create many more annoying situations like unpassable rooms or spam your random builds with boring, underpowered, or overpowered skills.

All these have been well tested by me, and I'm not going to add new things to this collection lightly.
