Share your settings for making blender more toy like or artist friendly

Im looking for some settings or plugins I can add to make the default scene have things to click and make stuff or move things around. I find I have to really think about what I would like out of blender and the steps to get there instead of something to fiddle with and its very uninviting to me.

Im looking to explore making a 2.5d game level and right now its so very dry workflow

I’ve used Bledner before to build a level and props, but starting from scratch is always such a bane
