📋 About This Mod
This mod will allow the player to continue advancing in levels up to level 99. I have played this mod with all 5 DLC\'s with no issues. I have my character to level 81 and have maxed out all my stats. Version 1 has no additional perks added Version 2 has a number of perks added (see readme for perk list and codes) UnZip files to your Fallout 3 Data folder. Only select either version. Do not select both.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (9,617 endorsements) — this is a go-to for level cap removal.
- Does exactly what it says: no bloat, just a clean level cap increase.
- Over 252,000 downloads show it's been tested by a massive player base.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2009 — may not be compatible with modern Fallout 3 setups or DLC.
- No documentation on how it interacts with other mods that alter leveling or perks.
- Raising the cap to 99 might make the game trivial if you're not using difficulty mods.
For Fallout 3 players who hit level 25 and want to keep progressing without starting a new character. Also for modders who want a stable base for further leveling tweaks. Skip if you're fine with the vanilla cap or want more complex progression systems.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple ESP, just drop it into your Data folder and activate it in the launcher.
- If you're using Fallout Mod Manager or Vortex, install it like any other mod and check load order — it should be fine anywhere.
- Pair with a perk overhaul if you want to avoid becoming overpowered at high levels.
