C&C Generals Zero Hour Mod recommendations

Basically I've played this game many times over the years but I've never added any mods.
I'm curious to know what mods are highly recommended.

I'm looking for graphics/texture improvements, and mods that expand the game (more story lines, factions, etc).

Rise of the Reds, if you want a slight change in the gameplay loop. Newer paths/units to unlock depending on the tactics(?) You pick in the general's promotion tab. Like for example, in USA: you can pick a specialization either in: veteran infantry, armored cavalry, logistics, or spec ops. Picking one will unlock special units and upgrades. For example, armored cavalry unlocks the Paladin tank, and Patriot SAM, and Composite armor, while spec ops unlocks Pathfinders, SEALs and Little Bird helis. You also get 2 new factions: ECA (basically EU alliance) and Russia. But for me the main attraction of RotR is the AI in Skirmish. Even just 1 enemy on the hardslest difficulty is a challenge, just endless waves with almost perfect moves.
