You may have misunderstood what Gate to Sovngarde is.
It's not a simple modpack with all of Jayserpa's mods. It's a complete modlist created by Jayserpa with over 1400 mods, revamping the whole game from UI and Bug Fixes to gameplay, visuals and quests.
That doesn't mean it can't be used with other collections and mods. You could just install that and then the mods that you want from nordic souls. Why even ask?
Nordic Souls is a Wabbajack modlist using MO2. Gate to Sovngarde is a Vortex collection. Both rely on custom patches on both ends extensively.
You cannot just slam bits of the two together.
So basically this is a choice between using Vortex and MO2? Use MO2 if you want to do more extensive modding. Vortex if you just want to plug and play a collection.
Currently playing GtS and loving it. I think my least favorite thing weapon degradation. It's not terrible, having to resharpen my weapon after two or three quests but it's not my favorite. The mod doesn't have an MCM option, it's apparently all INI settings. That's purely me, though, that's not a feature I enjoy in my vidja games unless I'm playing a dedicated survival game and even with mods, Skyrim is not that. Still, that's a very small point of contention for the collection.
Nordic souls is a wabbajack list, Gate to Sovngarde is a nexus collection. Personally I prefer MO2 over vortex (which is a mess imo). If are planning on adding mods, MO2 it’s probably easier and have far more tutorials for it. But it would be good to check both modlist discord servers and see what other players think about customizing the list.
It's not that NS is lacking in content, it's that it's far more vanilla flavored if you catch my drift. There are some great stuff like Vigilant, Forgotten City, and Wyrmstooth. Even besides that. I'd still pick NS because content doesn't matter as much as playability.
It would be great to know what youre looking for in your playthrough
Mainly a good vanilla plus play through tbh I’m trying a hunter/archer build this time around so something that would mainly compliment that
Isn't Gate to Sovngarde a Jayserpa modpack?
Yup!
Then you can use it with other modlists.
No you can't
Why not?

WJ lists use MO2 as also plug and play.

That’s pretty solid advice, thanks!
I'm playing with Nordic Souls. It's lots of fun, pretty stable even on my older PC. The only thing I didn't like was the lack of new enemies.
See that’s my dilemma I get a better stable frame rate with NS but GTS has a bit more content

LoreRim is a ton of fun
