Here is an extensive list of mods that you may be interested in
https://pleasantsims.com/sims-2-mods/If you don't want much I recommend at least getting some of the Anti-Corruption Mods such as
no corrupt death
no unlink on delete
Other recommended mods are
Flirts enabled. (allows sims to use all flirt interactions (e.g. sweet talk, suggestions, etc) even when full relationship, instead of them disappearing.
insimenator.org/index.php?topic=15483.0I also have two useful mods I created myself.
One fixes the child tickle and tell secret interactions when talking to children npcs (visitors)
the other allows you to see children and teens on community lots even if you don't bring a child or teen to the community lot yourself
You can find those mods here
