So I haven't touched Civ 5 since 2014. I have only been playing Civ 6 these last few years. I wanted to give Civ 5 a real indepth go again, but my question is, what are some good 'fun' mods? I know Vox Populi is a big one, but other than that, I don't know any other large mods.

Or do you think I should play the game without mods for a while to get back into it? I have only played Civ 5 for a bit over 90 hours, so I'm not hardcore into it

    The "lekmod" version is civ5 is still updated, most recent update came out this month. It is an ongoing balance/expansion project to keep the core of the game the same for competitive multiplayer, but it balances social policies and limits overpowered civs. They're up to almost 100 civs to choose from. Vox Populi totally redesigns the game imo, whereas lekmod keeps the spirit of the game the same, but improved.

    In BNW, at the skilled multiplayer level, it was always Tradition -> Rationalism. In lekmod, every opening policy tree is viable.

      Why I prefer 6 tbh. Not as good at it but it feels like besides wide being mandatory that your conditions dictate the optimal strategy instead of there being a single one.
