I need advice !

So I’m a new stardew player as I’ve only been playing for a year ! I’m on console and I’m in love with the game so much that I think I’m ready to get it for my pc and I also want to add stardew expanded to my game. I went to look at the mod and the requirements for it and there seemed to be a lot of things listed under the requirements but a lot of it looked to be cosmetic. I was wondering if I could have some advice as far as what I really really need for the mod. I want it to be as “vanilla” as possible just with the expansion mod so recolors or shaders don’t feel necessary. (I will be adding cosmetic elf ears just because I can’t help myself lol) Thank you !
