Apart from visual/audio ones, mods tend to make things harder, or at least more complex, so aren't generally good for a beginner but (see 'Induction To Construction' for relevant links) ...

Get an information mod as soon as possible: KER, MJ and/or VOID all show important information that isn't otherwise available in the game. (MJ is also an autopilot in case you have trouble).

Once you have several flights going to the moons or other planets get Kerbal Alarm Clock. It allows you to get on with one mission without forgetting the others.

Navyfish's docking-alignment window or the minimalist navball docking alignment indicator help a lot with docking - which is one of the hardest skills in real-life as well as KSP.

SCANSat is a great mod for making satellites useful and interesting. The parts it supplies will map a body from orbit around it, which can help with science or just picking a flat landing-site.

... and many, many, others deciding how you want to play.

If you're happy with all the parts in sandbox mode and don't need an enforced structure of 'achievement' I'd recommend you start there and get used to building and flying different vehicles. Otherwise, have a go at science mode first for restricted parts and the tech-tree. THE game, in career mode, also requires you to manage your money, contracts and buildings, which can all be rather complicated for a beginner.

Hey another dog on the KSP forums? (and a big wusky at that) Woof woof! <3

For mods I recommend Tantares, its a fab parts mod that adds a bunch of Soviet looking stuff.
