In particular, I am referring to making decisions that she does not make in the story, this is generally one of my favourite things about playing as characters from the story, going the paths they didn't and experiencing an alternate reality with them. One of the things I like is the decision to go further east from Qarth, while those regions may not be so fleshed out in the lore I still find them to be fascinating and have great potential for headcanon. I had a play through once where I took over YiTi and I loved that I could pick the title 'Dragon Empress' and it felt pretty satisfying, I'd just love if there was something that could flesh out these possibilities and make it much more immersive to play as Dany and do this, or even say, conquering the northern remnants of Valyria and converting to the religion, sort of embracing her origins and reforging the Valyrian Freehold.

Well with the Colonize Valyria mod you can just stay in Essos and reclaim the former Freehold. The actual problem is conquering a base for your colonisation of the Lands of Always Summer or even just the Isle of Cedars. Because even though you get some scripted troops by staying in Quarth you seriously cannot claim Tolos or Elyria with them unless you wait for Drogon to get to 50 martial. And if you manage to take a province you are still flat out broke for like 100 years till you can even imagine of colonising a single province. Though to be fair I always set the costs the highest because otherwise Yunkai and Astapor colonise everything.
The actual problem will be her claim to the Iron Throne. At some point some tyrant will have the Iron Throne and some Lords will want a Targaryen on it. They might lose but they tend to win when your ruler or heir has good stats. And then you are in Westeros again whether you want to or not. So there'd need to be an event/decision where you remove your claim permanently from your Dynasty. I cannot remember how often I made myself a nice little Kingdom in Valyria only to be called back out of nowhere. At that point my Dynasty usually isn't of the Seven anymore and those who called for me to come back hate me immediately.
I've always had a nice idea for a mod but I cannot mod. The premise would be Dany and Company travel at some point towards Westeros (whether immediately after leaving Quarth or after Mereen is under attack doesn't really matter). And obviously have to pass by The Lands of Always Summer. Due to whatever reason (a dragon taking off to the land or having a small expedition) they somehow arrive at the idea of staying and not going further. Perhaps she has Dragon Dreams, or they encounter a small Essosi Valyrian village and the villagers realise she's High Valyrian and basically a goddess for them or they wander through some Valyrian ruins and are amazed of them.
