Pure texture replacer mods are generally compatible with everything and can be added or removed mid-playthrough. This mod list is somewhat light on texture mods because I like the vanilla aesthetics of Intelligent Textures and that's why this is the baseline and not much else is added. Feel free to install any texture replacer at will.

Incarnates Overhauled Makes the Failed Incarnates better reflect their backgrounds. The armor, clothes, faces and hairs on some of the ghosts has been changed, so that now an ashlander wears ashlander clothes, a warrior of the Temple wears Indoril armor, Erur-Dan wears his cuirass, Hort-Leed wears his robe, and so forth.
