Lets have a debate and together we can talk about what some of the community's favorite mods. It doesn't matter what mod it is and then later I will figure out what the most popular ones are with a online poll. Just for fun! Or just list some of your favorite.

Wow, I´m surprised and disappointed nobody responded to this.. 
I believe that EUP is definetely one of the more important things when it comes to Realism. Obviously script mods like Ultimate Backup and all the Callout Scripts are also very important, but I think EUP still adds a lot and might be forgotten in this discusion if not mentioned

I think ELS is a critical mod for realism. While the base sirens and lights provide an okay route for realism, having the ability to change the patterns is a good plus and having separate patterns for what you are doing. Another mod that goes hand-in-hand with ELS, is Modern Siren Packs. Same with ELS, the standard siren is alright, but it is nice to have more realistic sounding one when in a pursuit. It sounds a lot crisper and smoother than the default one.

Thank you @Derp.uty Reyve and @UnknownBastion for replying I wish more would contribute I met this for newer members and my personal education hopefully more will reply soon.

Anyway, another key element obviously are the plugins.
While Albo made a lot of plugins that are still used to this day, they unfortunately aren´t getting updates anymore. But that is okay, because other modders, like Bejojo for example are going to fill in that small gap and make more, and better versions eventually. 
I think that "Stop the Ped" and "Ultimate Backup" are very usefull. Another Plugin I personally like a lot is "Better EMS"! I can only recommed that and have been using it for quite some time now.

K9 mod is definitely a must have if you enjoy having a bork bork make life easier on you and nom the bad guys so you don't have to chase them.  😂   These are all the must haves I use every time I have to re-mod my game.  Some of these might not seem like they are directly LSPDFR related, but they do help with the RP overall.

 

ELS

CompuLite

EUP

StopThePed

UltimateBackup

Traffic Policer

Spotlight

Vehicle Keys (lets you lock and unlock your car)

Interaction+

Smart Radio

No reticle

Sitting mod (just lets you sit down on things)

Stance  (lets you actually crouch instead of hunching over like you have Scoliosis)

Stop Reversing While Breaking

No On Crash Explosion  (you know, the stupid crashing upside down and your car blows up immediately)

MoreLicensePlates 

Bait Car - if there's an up to date working one, which I don't think there is currently.

Heli Orbit Plugin

ALPR lite

Fuel mod

BetterEMS isn't needed if you have STP.  BetterEMS's intent was to make the EMS actually do something useful, which is also what BJ did with his mod as well.

Oh hell yeah man! 

I had increased damage mod to where if you got shot more than twice you would basically die. 

 

It was real hard to use and I ended up dying every single patrol numerous times but it was fun having the extra adrenaline.

I personally run my game with any damage locational whatever witchery thing is called, basically if you get shot in your leg you stumble and bleed out or whatever, LAPD oriented cruisers but that's just personal preference, heli orbit as above stated and computer plus could work.
also callouts, as many as possible ((((((((((((if youre down with having 30 fps ))))))))))))))))

LSPDFR+

EUP  -  Law & Order  -- S & R

ELS

Traffic Policer

Police Smart Radio

Ultimate Backup ----------Better EMS was always unstable for me and caused LSPDFR to crash a lot but with UB you don't need it at all

Stop the Ped

Sticky Wheels

Speed Radar Lite

Compulite and along with the just absolutely great Realistic Usable Charges and Citations XML's installed in it

Invincible Police Cars --------Got so tired of my backup showing up with 3 flats, hood and 2 doors missing etc etc

Cruiser Control Script

Force a Callout

Super Callouts

Whatever Callouts

About 65 add on vehicles

Game Configurater

Heap limit adjuster

pack file limit adjuster

III.VC.SA.LimitAdjuster

I just finished about 2hours 45 min of game play wit absolutely no issues, game is running so smooth at the moment, I try to keep my play realistic so I have minimum call out packs installed at a time plus a lot of the callouts caused problems and crashes I have been eliminating until game ran smooth and crash free and this is what I ended up with besides like I said I try to keep it somewhat realistic so I really don't need 12 shoot outs per shift.

 

 

 

I use these core LSPDFR plugins to improve the gameplay:

• Stop The Ped
• Ultimate Backup
• Traffic Policer
• Police Smart Radio
• CompuLite
• Interaction+ (I disabled the internal police computer since already have CompuLite)

This combination of plugins is fairly stable with minimum performance (FPS) drop.

Personally I prefer Computer+ over CompuLite, but that´s just my personal prefernce - CompuLite is a lighter plugin though, as the name suggests

The biggest issue that myself and others have run into with Computer+ is the flickering screen when you're in the computer, and there's no fix for it.

Oh, okay, I´ve actually never heard of that 😕  But yeah, that obviously woudl be a no-go. 
For me it works fine though, and I love it 

For realism, I'm surprised that Jurisdictions+ script hasn't been mentioned yet. 

It offers unparalleled realism, adding jurisdictions to the game where the agencies have their own cars and peds, spawning for patrols and backup. 

 

I'll have to give it a try

 

I have now also switched from Computer+ to CompuLite as it started to give me compatability issues - just as a little sidenote
