Want to start a modded world with my gf.

So we both love Stardew, but are sort of getting bored of the normal game. We want to spice it up with mods, and I wanted to know a couple things. Do you guys use Curseforge to download the mods? And more importantly, what mods still feel like Stardew valley. I want the game to still feel normal, and nothing that cheats the game really. Thanks!
