Four things really:

-- Remove [SHAPED] from ITEM_PANTS_LEGGINGS and ITEM_HELM_CAP so that caps and chain leggings properly layer under helms and greaves correctly.

-- Add in my custom cloth armor and brigandine upgrade reactions/item definitions so that my dwarf can have better starting armor on metal-scarce embarks and I can give the cloth industry some value (to me).

-- Add in the material definition file and reactions for boiled leather using oil and wax, to provide some utility for the wax and tallow I seem to find myself stuck with on occasion. More stuff to use as armor, bonus as its historical!

-- Add all those damn minerals and metals I made that I'm still testing to see if they work like their supposed to before moving to the other modules... still haven't found an acceptable way to add metal/ ores to SOIL layers without it being obscene... meteoric iron meteorites should not be found every 25 paces in every location, that defeats the point.

the leather mod is wonderful!
is there a similar mod for meat?  I would love to know if there's one where I don't have to see every single organ listed for every imaginable animal...
instead of "prepared yak spleen" and "prepared yak kidney" and so on if there was just "prepared yak offal" or something.

i imagine this has to be out there some place.

You can use modest mod or the accelerated DF , the modest mod give some fix and the accelerated includes modest plus anothers sfuffs. Butchering any animal give the same stuff ( like a cow give cow meat, lungers, heart etc) but they are all the same (cow meat is just meat). He also fix leather ( but not this glob like leather ). I Using accerated DF and i like. The bad thing is a did not see any other leather or meat(the more valuable leather, like a elephant(5x), is just leather (2x)) but this is acceptable for me.

Some of them are for making the game more difficult. It's just that "mods you ALWAYS use" tends to center around fixing bugs, while those that raise difficulty tend to wary depending on what kind of fort you want.

I just started using [USE_ANY_PET_RACE] and I'm never going back.  I love having more choices for embark and different pets brought by migrants.

Oh, and cast names, e.g. all female dogs are bitches, so I know who goes in the cage.

Adding Dwarven Vodka and Dwarven Whiskey to Dimple cups and quarry bushes respectively. Also adding Dwarven corn/dwarven moonshine.

I think Veok's Leather Mod is compatible with most every mod. I'm using it with Modest Mod right now and the leather is appearing correctly. The scale objects didn't change though. I'm happy with it.

First, I'm using accelerated DF for stuff like one kind of wood, one kind of leather, one kind of meat, etc for ease of use.

I also lowered the size requirement of mauls and halberds so that dwarves can wield them, and made them native to dwarven civs. Other weapon/armor modifications include adding chainmail hoods for extra defense, and making "war cleavers" and "war carving knives" which are basically copies of the tools that are supposed to be so OP in adventure mode. This way they are classed as weapons and can be forged and assigned to military in fort mode.

I added custom goblinite and hemagoblinite ore to be mined in game that has a chance of producing copper, silver, bronze, or iron, or a chance of iron or steel, respectively.

Other stuff include some underground variety such as giant cave crocs and blind cave badgers, as well as a giant variety of the blind cave badger. Also thinking of making an extra size tier of underground beasties that are twice the size of giants and calling them titanic -insert critter here-.

I'm thinking of also making all stone --except flux and stuff like microline, sunstone, obsidian, or cinnabar--a uniform gray color. I might do the same with minerals, actually, so that it becomes less of an annoyance when my dwarves discover a vein of hematite running through the middle of the carefully planned dining hall.

Is this done by just copying the manager/organizer position a few times?
Also interested in this.

No (er, well, I guess that would work, at least if you give the positions different names) but you could just make the Number [NUMBER:AS_NEEDED] instead of 1

That's how I do it, thanks for answering for me.

None.

I am a true dwarf who will use the vanilla interface and dwarves till the end.  Of course, the bugs/features are merely obstacles toward accomplishing my goals. :P

If you don't mind me asking how did you manage these in the raws? I'd like to do something similar.
