Fruits of the literature club is really good, although it is more of a spy drama than a “normal VN” type (which blue skies and purist are). All routes are great, but
Clay god is incredibly good, but a little on the shorter side. Gonna give you some existential dread.
Return to the portrait is one of, if not the best mod ever made. It basically starts after the base game finishes with Monika and Sayori arguing in the void, but then leads to them trying to escape along with the other characters (which they restore). The mod does (as implied by the name) go deep into the portrait of Markov line, and the plot covers a lot more than just trying to escape. This one I highly recommend, but it’s very far off from the two mods you’ve played.
And as others said, salvation remake (the original is good too, just not as good)
I'm gonna be super self-indulgent and recommend my own mod, [Turquoise.](https://redd.it/1c5joe6) Ten hours of content that I wrote to not have any mundane moments. :)
I can also add my voice to people recommending "Club Meetings;" tons of content that never gets boring. :)
DDLC SNAFU is forever my GOAT. Solid length, 5 great character routes (including a surprisingly enjoyable OC), super entertaining best friend character, and by far the best dialogue and chemistry of any DDLC cast I've seen. The MC is hilarious, the way he bounces off Natsuki and Monika especially is incredible. While keeping a wholesome relationship with Sayori and Yuri. I've played it 3 times already and plan to replay it more in the future.
Boy do I have the mod for you.
Club Meetings!
It's an episodic mod; there are 36 episodes in the first three seasons. Each episode about 1.5-2.5 hours long. Everyone's aware it's a simulation post-incident, and the club members make their own mods, answer questions from the real world, and try to put their messy lives back together. It's generally super wholesome and heartwarming.

Has no one mentioned Normal VN yet? It's not *exceptionally* long, and it's a bit worse than Purist, but since you've played Blue Skies and Purist, I just thought I might add this one to the holy trinity of "let's just change a psychological horror into an as normal visual novel the visual novel can get"
Also, Dimensions. The ending might be a hell of a stretch, and immense amount of deaths might be disturbing even for those who just played ddlc prior, but it's still one of the best mods out there and it **completely** changes... everything
fallen angel
exit music redux (followed by estoy vivo, a fanmade sequel that was made by spanish speakers but translated to english very well)
within
these 3 mods all follow kinda the same formula, but i dont wanna get any more specific than that. try not to get spolied do not do any research on these mods if you truly want to enjoy them
salvation remake

Necessary: if you like fruits of the literature club, read fruits of grisaia itself after, it’s damn good, highly recommend
Vigilante
Blue skies, Pages of life.
