I’ve been enjoying Nordic Souls as a Wabbajack pack. It’s got gameplay adjustments that do change the difficulty curve but is closer to the base game in difficulty than many of the other prominent mod packs. It also has a smaller footprint (~100GB maybe?) as compared to some others. Skyrim feels more modern and fresh, for sure.

I downloaded it on a whim after I used Wabbajack/Nexus Premium for some Fallout New Vegas modding (went with Viva NV). I wanted to get full value from that premium sub lol.
