The mods that change base game content (alongside Iceborne content) should work, even if the author claims that you need Iceborne. When in doubt, just try and see if it works or not. There's a chance they might cause issues like crashing, but it's unlikely. Most mods that require Iceborne will likely do absolutely nothing if you use them without owning Iceborne. In Layman's terms, Iceborne added more things that should be accounted for when modifying most files, so the file sizes and contents are both increased by varying amounts due to the new entries the files now have.

If you are afraid of any sort of consequence for modding or cheating, let me enlighten you: Capcom just doesn't care if you mod the game for Performance/QoL or cheat blatantly.
