Chess Engines that plays more human like.

Any chess engines that plays more human like? I primarily use Komodo Dragon 2.6 and DEEPHIARCS14 accompanied by Stockfish 14.1 on opening preparation. But the problem I have with stockfish 14.1's evaluation on most positions usually sacrifices a pawn or trades pieces in the opening that causes either Isolated pawn or a double pawn.
As for Dragon 2.6 and DEEPHIARCS14, they are my favorite engines when it comes to opening preparation. Their evaluation is probably much safer and risk free to play than stockfish 14.1
This are the Engines that plays pretty human like
Fritz 18
LeelaZero
Dragon 2.5
Komodo 14.1
DEEPHIARCS14
DEEPSHREDDER14

Can you simplify this
I like Leela with dkappe's condensed nets, e.g. Bad Gyal and the like.
Check out their former versions, especially pre-2000 era
@CSaiJagruth Its really complicated to explain this, probably the easiest way to explain this is is that Stockfish sometimes go for insane line in which is practically difficult to conserve the position.
Why not just play against... humans? It is a way to practice it too.
What is "human-like"?
Humans can only calculate a little bit. So they need general rules like "connected rooks are good, pawns in the centre are good, castling is good" etc.
Stockfish calculates much better. So sometimes Stockfish plays a move which doesn't follow these general rules. So human can't understand this move. "It isn't a logical move because this move violates this general rule". But it doesn't make the move bad. It just shows that general rules sometimes fail. If you anaylze this move then you will see why Stockfish plays this move.
I have an older version of shredder on an ipad mini. I got it because it was cheap, but it does seem to me that it plays reasonably human-like at it's various levels. It also tries to play more-or-less main lines which is good for practice.
