Must Have Graphical Mods [Not Achievement Compatible]

A list of must have graphical mods listed by the order they appear in-game. From the customziation menus to the UI, to the galaxy, planets, and vfx these are the must have mods that keep stellaris as close to vanilla as possible, but add a ton of graphical flavour.

Known Issue:
All these mods work together, however: "Quadrant Fixed" overwrites "Immersive Galaxy - Astronomical Objects" - This is because "Immersive Galaxy - Astronomical Objects" has a bug where things pop in and out depending on what menu you open. I have kept it listed here in case the author fixes the issue. If you don't care about that issue, then turn off "Quadrant Fixed"

F.A.Q.
If this is graphical only, why isn't it compatible with Achievements?
Planet Diversity increases the types of planets and adds a few other things to the checksum. They're technically gameplay modifications with graphical overhauls. Here's an achievement compatible version that removes some of the mods:
