Mods and what to do without them?

So there's this aspiration challenge that @mcrudd posted here, just an idea of a casual way to guide your play without mods - doing aspirations is a great way to find some purpose in your game play, I've found. And earning reward traits is always super motivating for me. There are also a lot of cheats you can use too if you're wanting to tweak things in your game. I *might* be able to live without mods, but I couldn't live without cheats haha.

(That being said, I play a heavily modded game, so it would be a big adjustment for me to just stop using them)
