The title really is what it's all about. What are some mods you always use that help you play the game, graphics ones don't count mind you.
Personily I CAN'T play without a mod to make my dwarves move faster, it just takes too freaking long to do anything.

Lately I too use Speed:0 for a little while, until my fortress is up and running.  I then delete it and let the chaos ensue.

If I'm at a state where I can't handle a seige due to a large mega project outside or something of that nature, rather then turning invaders off, I add [AQUATIC] to goblins.

That way, I cau use their bones in the structure.

Love playing the Civ Forge mod because there's just so much stuff in it! I've recently begun to turn invasions off while I set up my fort though, due to having an incident with sand raiders on FLYING ANTS. In addition to that, my dwarfs and all dogs are almost always set-up with [SPEED: 5] or so just because I like to get shit done, their morality tweaked to allow them to butcher and use the remains of enemies, and an expanded version of the Sawmill 2.0 mod. It's so nice to have a crop that produces wood and the ability to make one log into 10 "planks".    The expansions include creating stone bins, barrels, and beds along with leather bins, barrels (aka "tubs"), and hammocks.

I've also experimented with adding in elements from the Genesis mod and others, but that often leads to many little problems, like getting stuck with human or elf forts... 

Edit: Forgot to add that I also use the Higher Learning because it makes training up doctors and my militia so much faster.

There is a civ forge for the latest DF? I didn't know it existed since d40...

Ah the d40 days, when mods were faster to put up, so every man and hes dog made one, and it made for some great veriety.

[vhappylurker]

It's been up for about a month-ish, if I'm recalling right. And I think one reason mods and updates to certain ones have been slow is due to Toady being so fast with new versions. It's kind of hard to keep up with the mighty Toad sometimes.

[Max White]

To keep up would be impossible, we just get lucky that for the most part, the raws remain unchanged. Always something new though...

Just thought to remove [FEMALE] from cats. That should sort out a common problem.

[Capntastic]

This goes in the modding forum probably.

Also, I don't use any mods.

[metime00]

Yeah, I'm vanilla all the way. Well, with the exception of changing coats to trenchcoats, but I do that myself and it hardly changes gameplay. Just helps my imagination.

I like vanilla so I can use each new Dwarf Fortress version as soon as it is released. Also why I never use tilesets. I like the simplicity of the ascii and the base game and don't want the clutter of mods.

[Mystery]

Dwarf Therapist. Makes the game playable in my opinion. 

[Vercingetorix]

About the only thing I use is DF Hack, for auto vein-digging and reveal (which usually go hand in hand, especially since finding the rarer gems and minerals isn't quite as exciting as in 40d because they're...less rare).  I don't even really need Dwarf Therapist because my dwarves' labors gradually become more or less optimized over time or at least enough to make things work smoothly.

[KaguroDraven]

I've never used Dwarf Therapist so I can't tell if it's good or not. To be honest though once my dwarves are moveing really fast it's a fun game to me. Still challengeing, only now I don't have to wait 5 minutes for a single bedroom to be dug out. Though getting rid of female cats does sound enticeing.

[Indricotherium]

Vanilla.
