Here is my list of quality-of-life mods for B18. They are meant to make the pawn’s activities feel more realistic. They are not meant to change game balance.
The Top Five:
Prepare Carefully: Enough Said

Psychology: Adds traits, changes social interactions, feels like it adds a lot of depth. (You can manually add existing pawns)

The rest:

I don’t think any require a new save.
