Tips For "Gate To Sovngarde" (Modded Skyrim) 

This modlist is incredible, just one exemple : i joined the legion with my character, had a very tough fight claiming a fort, after the battle i jump to the nearest inn for taking care of my sleepness and combat stress and i Heard some random bard playing a flute remake of Ashokan Farawell. Was just an absolute masterpiece. This modlist is very tough and incredibely immersive, and makes you feel what your character feel and you will start spending some time at an inn or city just chilling, because your character need it and you will enjoy those pauses between your adventures because everything in this modlist make the game living (sorry for my bad english, give this list a try you will not regret it)

I feel like Gate to Sovngarde needs a wiki page of its own. The amount of features and content added is just so massive and I'd like not to miss a thing! So please keep up the awesome work, particularly these much needed youtube guides to the collection. This was exactly the kind of video I needed! You're awesome!

I'm commander shepherd and this is my favorite collection on the nexus.

As far as I'm concerned, Gate to Sovngarde is the ultimate Skyrim Collection. This kind of video is exactly what I needed!

My character is basically a functional alcoholic; the poor fool can't get through a singe fight without needing a drink.😂

Best collection I’ve tried from the Nexus by far, grateful for all your hard work

I'll list the mods that he's describing, sorry if I missed any mod, I'm not that good at finding mods haha, these mods are good if you're making your own modlist, I do endorse this video modlist though def one of the best ones out there if you want to play the game and feel immersed in Skyrim. 0:01 Leaps of Faith - A Misc.

That's all the directly showcased mods, there's a lot of mods used for the visuals (Skyland, Skyland Bits and Bobs, Majestic Mountains, Traverse the Ulvenwald, Cathedral Water Overhaul), the armors come MOSTLY from NordWarUA armor mods (i.e NordWarUA's Armor Variants), no idea where the shield is from), the "show items in your character" thing comes from Immersive Equipment Displays, etc.

I've taken a break from Skyrim modding for a couple years until recently, and I would just like to say there have always been a handful of great/classic mod authors out there who consistently make amazing must have mods and it's actually rather rare for a new author like that to show up. YOU, sir, are an amazing creator and contributor to the Skyrim modding scene! It's awesome that you've even built your own custom collection for everyone to use as well. I think I may even take the time to build/rebuild GTS using Mod Organizer because it's truly awesome. Thank you for all your hard work and I can't wait to see what else you come out with next! :D

You have got to be one of the best mod authors on Nexus right now. Keep up the great work king. 👑

Thank you. This is a very helpful tutorial :)

awesome work thank you jayserpa

This is the modpack Ive been looking for and has brought my love back to gaming altogether. The ultimate vanilla frendly overhaul that doesnt try to re-write the game into a souls game

Bro this has been amazing

It's downloading right now and I can't wait.

it was very hard to install all mods i took 5 days and 3 attempts, but at the wnd i won against vortrx ! and the game is running good and it makes sooo much fun. i made a mod collection of 250 mods and wanted to achieve just what you achieved, taking your mod combinations is just a dream fullfilled :))

I purchased a 1 month premium sub only to download this mod. I was on the fence between this one and Nolvus, but I only have a 3070 and Nolvus would kill my fps. However, I am not seeing this as a downgrade, not at all. This collection has everything that I could ask for my perfect Skyrim experience, and super easy to install. Thanks for this! :D

its like a whole new game the actual amount of features and mechanics added through mods and the way it looks makes me want to play skyrim all over again. Never heard of Nexus collections I always just downloaded nexus mods 1 by 1 until it eventually broke the game lmao

My playthrough of this collection has been amazing so far except for a few bugs here and there. Most notable is lanterns quit working on my character a while back and not sure why. And now Remi is in a shop and won't come out no matter what i say or do. Horse storage and saddle equipping is weird too. It's really pretty stable for the amount of mods though, and its an incredible achievement!

Currently playing this Collection and I love it!!! I would choose a couple of different mods instead of the ones in it, but it's just a personal preference. Anyway, this pack is so well cured that it makes vanilla Skirym feel like Skyrim 2, improving so many aspects of the game. I love role playing and survival games and this pack is the best so far... Why didn't I discovered it before?! To the Modders and Creator of this collection, well done guys, this is amazing!!!

Just downloaded this collection last night and holy fuck. Definitely had to forget everything I thought I knew about Skyrim 🤣.

From one modding platform to another, I really believe Gate to Sovngarde has the potential of being the next STALKER GAMMA...

Been playing this modpack since I heard about it (thanks Spiff) and I am loving it! Have only run into a couple of issues. Climbing always causes my character to get stuck. Turning collision off doesn't help, and I usually have to reload a save. Is that because I am in first-person? Also, how many followers can I have? I have four right now, but when I went to five a random follower just kind of disappeared (didn't notice until later and had to reload). Great collection! I'm waiting for Nexus to come back online to update it.

hell yeah

I'm such a big fan of yours and thank you for the video! I just downloaded a modpack with this feature and I didn't know this stuff!

i haven't seen many collections, but this is pretty damn amazing i randomly managed to do a combat roll one time - is that a feature or how do i do that?

I'm coming back to Skyrim and never downloaded a mod collection before. I'm the kind of person who likes to handpick the mods I'll play with. But, considering how much praise your collection is receiving and how I love every mod you made, I'm thinking about downloading it to save time. I have just a small question: can I choose to not install certain mods if I prefer other alternatives (I'm mainly thinking on some cosmetic mods) or will it break the collection? Thanks in advance!

Great collection, works perfectly fine. After playing for a couple of hours, I've experienced no crashes. Can I add simple mods like armor mods to this collection? I was thinking about adding Ulag's Legacy armors to this collection. Is this advisable? If it's possible, do I need to do anything else?

Hi, i have a question. How can i see my position? I have a little problem when i make quests because i don't know where i must go :/

Great tips. Awesome Collection as well! Thank you! One question, do you ever plan to include any type of dodge mod? Just curious

I wish collections and modlists were easier to install. As a MO2 user, I hate that collections only work for Vortex.

I'm having a hard time blocking with a shield. I'm still new to Skyrim, so I'm not sure if blocking has been changed, or if I am not good at it. Should I go look up a vanilla blocking guide or do I check out the RTFM for a mod in the Gate pack?

This is awesome. Can i disable the mods rhat change the character textures? I really like the vanilla ones, but dont want to break anything

SPEARS!

thanks for the video bro, are u finnish?

What are the mods for combat stress and treating injuries, I dont want to play the modpack with them

@jayserpa just downloaded this collection. I’m having issues adjusting 1st person fov. I prefer to run around 100 fov and be able to see more of the weapons and arms in front of me. When I adjust the fov it does not affect the hands/arms distance from the screen. Anyway to fix this? Currently the hands and weapons barely fit on the screen they are so close to the camera no matter what fov I put into the console

Finished downloading everything a few days ago, been playing it basically non stop One thing: How do I fix the campfire mod? Supposedly there's a mod with a skill tree accessible by creating a campfire but when I do it, I am locked out of all other magics, items, skills and the map.

Can I add this collection on top of Skyrim AE Nolvus v5 Ascension modpack without having problems or crashing with each other?? I'm new to modding

This is kinda like a Skyrim+ mod pack and I love it.

thank you bro... can i stop wasting stamina while in sneak mode or this is forever? ;-;

This gameplay combination looks great but I have to ask, can I play this list with a controller ?

I would like a guide if you maybe wanted to disable some of the survival components.

Whoa what's that combat stress accumulation mod??

A Masterpiece, if you have not tried it yet, do yourself a favor and do so now... the community is also VERY COOL...lots of helpful , fun , and friendly folks to chat/give help at pretty much any hour of the day. COME AND PLAY

hi, how can i activate the compass, i don't want it hide. thanks

I just downloaded this mod collection and I’m blown away! The only issue is I have no compass and am not sure where I’m at. Is this supposed to be part of the collection?

Wish I could use this modlist :( but I play on Xbox and some mods aren’t available.

I tried scrolling through the 1000 mods and trying to find out what grass mod it is, what grass mod are you using?

Hello, I have been playing this mod for a day and unfortunately, I have quite a problem. For some reason, I am unable to built fire, harvest wood and cure injuries. I even uninstalled the injury mod because it was quite literally unplayable. Does anybody know what could cause it? Thanks.

Hola amigo mio! Sabes aproximadamente cuando funcionará la colección con la nueva actualización de Bethesda ?

After adding the collection, Skyrim won't load. It starts, and then after 2 seconds it crashes. No idea what to do.

I need help for the instalation:( said "Unresolved mod conflicts or requirements" and the download never starts:(

Would the open cities mod work with this or would it be too hardware intensive? I love the collection so far but I like having the seamless world.

my fatigue debilitated is not going away

I have a question, does archivements work with this collection? I suppose they are disabled but if I use the mod to enable them, would it impact in a negative way somehow? Im new to modding so sorry for the stupid question

Is this compatible with Lucien? Also, controller inputs???

Does anyone know what mod they use for potion animation in first person?

Hello, firstly the mod is amazing. One thing I've been having is that Skyrim doesn't count hours on Steam and it doesn't appear running there, is there a way to fix this or is it just like that?

Yo ! Great collection, but i went to helgen to start the main story and nothing is happening? Is this mod to avoid the main story and focus on everything else? Wish i knew before I walked from Solitude to Helgen lmaooo

hello, I just downloaded the mod pack and the map is blank. Am I missing somthing? Or is it just a bug

Amazing

has anyone else no start for the main quest ? started my charakter in bruma

How can I get the Cardinal directions and locations on my HUD? I love how empty it feels making it more immersive but I still like the icons and Cardinal directions.

@JaySerpa i wanna know if its possible to edit yout collection without ruinning it, its is possible to do it?

Is it now a good time to start a playthrough? How long do you reckon till a revision than requires a new save?

Does anyone knows how to use the insights? In vanilla you level up a skill by reading but in the modpack you get an insight. What does this do?

What grass are u using ?

Where exactly do you buy/craft soap?

HELLO Sir! We are trying to isolate the Mod in your pack that is Preventing us from spamming potions. Can you help us out Please?!?

I've been discovering alot of these on my own. At first some of them annoyed me like how slow the horse is when you first get it.... but now I see it just adds to this absolute masterpiece of a mods collection. This is 2023 Game of the Year.

Hey man how do I fix my wounds I try to use the treat wounds thing but nothing pops up

Hello! Is there a way to lower the difficulty of combat? I love this collection, but I'm a bit of a newbie and they kill me right away.

I wish there was way to make all this work with controller but i guess i can force myself to play keybord for onece.

is there a way to change the game to 1080p somehow? with this collection my game is in 4k but i dont have a 4k monitor

All these things I usually add to other mod lists to get them how I want them and now it just exists. Just need a wabbajack install option.

Downloaded this collection and it never worked for me. Sad. Took hrs too

Can you play with a controller?

I love the collection but the rain and snow effect on the screen and the no quest bar on top is making me go crazy, how can i change those complaints without leaving the collection

can you do all this with controller ?

How do I use the compass?

How do all the hotkeys work with a controller?

So does this mod actually have a story mode?

OK so this is the Horizon of Skyrim

So I downloaded the modpack but ur game looks so much better than mine why?

Hotkey to activate lantern is too overpowered. Must use at least 3 menus to properly balance

What mod adds the hair scissors?

BRO JUST INSTALLED THIS MOD AND OMG I NEVER PLAYED SUCH A GOOD MODDED GAME NOT EVEN GTA HEAVLY MODDED CAN ACHIEVE SKYRIM HEAVILY MODDED

i have tried everything to get this pack to work. ive watched every single one of your videos on it ive deleted absolutly everything skyrim/vortex related i had it running for 2 hours before i crash BTD. I restarted the game and now it wont even load the main menu. I do not wanna delete everything AGAIN for the 3rd time this pack is not worth the effort.

The world is deleveled like requiem?

Can I use a controller?

It's so cool that you got to a 1000. But my skyrim. You can only get the 300 before it saves corrupt.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to join the thieves guild lol

Spent hours trying to make this work, it did not. Collection just gets to the loading screen and no further.

....who wants THIS realistic a skyrim game?? I spent 3+ hours downloading and installing it, and after 20 minutes I was done and uninstalling. I've never had a modpack gate so much gameplay and...FUN behind so many pointless, unnecessary systems.

Great collection but it seems to alter the appearance of NPCs a lot. It would be much better to focus on roleplay + gameplay improvements and not change NPCs' appearances so drastically.

How you drop hunting corpses?

I can't level up. It says level up available but when I go to my skill menu I can't do anything. Is my game bugged or has this collection changed how levelling is done?
