📋 About This Mod

WHAT THIS MOD DOES AND WHY:

  • []As the brief overview says. Now, when you open up your character sheet window that shows your current attributes, details and everything. When you click on the 4 types of skills you have (Primary, Major, Minor, Misc) instead of just showing their current level, the window that pops up will now also show what you current progress is to the next level for each skill. The format is by default: Current_Skill_XP / Required_Skill_XP. So whenever Current Skill XP is equal or above Required Skill XP, next time you rest long enough, that skill will increase to the next level and also resetting Current_Skill_XP back to 0, so you can start training to the next required xp threshold.

    • []As of the most recent update, there is now also an option to have a more graphical representation of the skill progress in the form of "progress bars" for each skill. They will show up in the same windows as the progress and skill text itself and are fairly customizable in size, position, and color. The text itself has also had the same treatment of more settings and additional ways the text can be represented, not just Current_Skill_XP / Required_Skill_XP.
      • []The last feature recently added is a system of "notifications" that will give you an indication when individual skills have reached their required "XP" threshold in order to level. These notifications can be easily turned on and off in the settings. They include both HUD text as well as audio notifications, which are both fairly customizable, especially the audio which gives a selection of 62 clips to choose from the Daggerfall audio-clip library.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 1,280 endorsements and over 66,000 downloads—clearly a mod people find useful.
  • Does exactly what it says: shows skill progress on the character sheet, no more guessing how many more potions to brew.
  • Tiny footprint, so it won't tank your FPS or clutter your UI with unnecessary widgets.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only works with the vanilla character sheet—if you use a UI overhaul like SkyUI, this might conflict or need a patch.
  • Last updated in July 2024, so it may not be tested with the latest Skyrim updates or the new Creations menu.
  • No options to customize the display (e.g., show percentage vs. bar), so what you see is what you get.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who like to min-max their skill grinding and want to see exactly how close they are to the next level without opening the console or using external tools. It's also great for completionists who want a cleaner, more informative character sheet. Skip if you're using a heavy UI overhaul and don't want to deal with compatibility patches.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using SkyUI, check the mod page for a compatibility patch or be prepared to test if it works—UI mods often need load order tweaks.
  • Place this mod in your load order after any UI overhauls to ensure it doesn't get overwritten.
  • Since it's a simple UI tweak, you can safely remove it mid-playthrough without breaking your save.
