Great question! I thought about jumping in and doing one more city. I was going to ask something similar so I'll watch closely. The only 2 on your list that i have used are TMPE and network anarchy.

TMPE and Move It! Are pretty much the only two mods I'd consider requirements.

Metro Overhaul Mod isn't nearly as useful now that vanilla metros can go above ground, plus I believe there are a few assets with similar tracks to the MOM ones.

Anyways here's a few you didn't mention that would be useful:

• Transfer Manager: CE is another really good one that lets you manage which districts different services can use, so you don't get hearses and the like driving to the other side of the city. Also really useful if you're using the "industries" DLC so you can assign warehouses to specific
• Game Anarchy lets you tweak a lot of gameplay things (like removing unique building limit, turning off requirements for services, etc), but my favorite thing about it (and the main reason I use it) is that you can reduce the depletion rate of oil and ore independently of one another, without making them completely unlimited. That way, you still have to move your industries at some point, but the resources don't run out immediately. Also if your map has e.g. a lot more ore than oil, you can make the ore deplete faster than the oil so you don't risk running out of oil completely.
  You probably already have these, but I'll mention them anyway:
• Loading Screen Mod Revisited is nice for speeding up loading times
• Move It is a community favorite, though it can feel a bit cheaty moving stuff for free sometimes.

• Skyve
• 81 Tiles
• UUI
• Transport Line Manager
