📋 About This Mod
Shuffles around several key perks to balance out the various trees and adds unique effects to select perks. (Current and working as of 2024)
Version 2. 5
Updated this mod for 2024, nothing really needed to be modified. Made a bug fix for Commando rank 5
Version 2. 4
Fixed a lot of issues with 2. 3, everything now works appropriately. Disease immunity perks now reduce them to 5 minute durations on the first rank, and immunity on the next (Medic rank 2 and 3= Infection/Parasites, Awareness rank 1 and 2= Insomnia/weakness, Action "Gender" rank 1 and 2= Lethargy/Fatigue). Toughness rank 2 reduces immunodeficiency to 5 minutes, rank 3 grants immunity. Also, fixed and adjusted Robotics Expert to add +30% damage at rank 2 and + 50% damage at rank 3 against robots.
Withdrew the movement bonus from Action Boy/Girl, movement effects never seem to work properly in Fallout 4 so I'm entirely scrapping the idea to add movement bonuses completely. Adjusted the application mechanics of the Survival effects on Awareness, Medic, and Action Boy/Girl; these perks now make you completely immune to disease in Fallout 4 via a counter condition added directly to the disease magic effects themselves (may cause conflicts but unlikely). Also fixed some apparent missing abilities from medic rank 1. Also added an Immunoefficiency to Chem Resistant which negates Immunodeficiency.
Version 2. 31
Changes made to Medic, Rad Away gives a short Rad Res buff after use with Medic Rank 2, and on Survival it no longer has detrimental effects. Also added a new consumable to the game called "Lock Boy" which gives a +100% sweetspot increase for 30 seconds, craftable with Science! rank 3 at the Chem Station under Utility.
Version 2. 2
Changes made to Action Boy/Girl, added crafting of Fusion Cores (Nuclear Physicist 3), Nuka Grenades, Mini-Nukes (Nuclear Physicist 3 & Demolitions Expert 4), and Missiles (Demolitions Expert 4). Also randomly added crafting of Milk Bottles for various reasons.
Version 2. 1
Minor change with this version, removed the "don't trigger mines" effect from Sneak rank 2 and added it to Demolitions Expert rank 4. Reason being, I like taking the sneak perk [c
