You can pick and choose really what kind of mods you want to run, but you really should check out Paladin's place to download the HDCU, which (if you don't have it already) will help you figure out what mods do or don't play well with one another:

Also, the cheesecake fix is only useful if you don't want twins every time they eat cheesecake and the annoyance fixing mods are just annoyances, not corruption.

It would be more useful if only the essential to avoid corruption mods were included.

No Met Self Memories: Stop the "Met Self" memories without the use of NTM or Pescado's Dramafix.

Saying "prevents it from being generated" CAN be interpreted as "sims do no longer gossip". And that just isn't true. With the NTM installed, sims will STILL gossip, but they will NOT store the things that they (hear) gossip about in their memories.

Hoping to have helped,

It is much easier to use/read and a more thorough search. And, it is still supported

He also made a What Caused This utility that is very helpful too!

...and a few other things you may not have seen yet.

You can PM a mod and let them add links if you want to.
