Replaying / Showing my partner FF7 for the first time - best way to do it?

Hello everyone! As the title says, I intend to show the OG FF7 ro my partner soon because he has shown interest in experiencing it as he knows NOTHING about it aside from a few character names (+ I have been meaning to replay it), and I want to do what I can in order to give him the best experience. I am planning to have him play the game on PC with mods - but I am having a hard time with which ones to choose.

I want to keep it as close to the original experience as possible, with a few quality-of-life improvements - I want to retain the original graphics, so no graphical mods that change the entire look of the game/characters. I have also been looking into mods that change the text itself - I have trouble deciding between the Shinra Archeology Cut mod (in order to closer line up with VII Remake) and New Threat 2.0 (both to stay closer to the original and for its gameplay improvements). An upscale of the FMV cutscenes would also be nice, but the only ones I have found (with a bried glance) are also interpolated, which I do NOT like.

What would you guys recommend? And are there any other mods I should know about?
