📋 About This Mod
I don't like how you have to level up and spent hard earned points on unlocking crafting and looting - so I made a txt file that you can run the bat command for to automatically grant those to yourself.
Instructions:
To run this file, extract the zip anywhere, copy the resulting txt and paste it in your /Fallout4 folder (the same one that has the Fallout4.exe in it). Then, once in-game, type "bat essentials" in the console (brought up by "~" key).
The Perks contained in this file are:
- []Armorer []Blacksmith []Explosives []Gun Nut []Science []Local Leader []Lockpicking []Hacker
- Scrapper
Essential Perks is a simple text file for Skyrim that grants access to a curated selection of perks via the in-game 'bat' command. With 421 endorsements and nearly 8,000 downloads, it's a lightweight utility for players who want to skip perk grinding and get straight to their preferred build.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 421 endorsements and nearly 8k downloads.
- Dead simple to use—just drop the file and type 'bat' in the console.
- Saves time by skipping perk grinding, letting you focus on gameplay.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or DLC.
- Only includes the author's personal selection of perks—not customizable without editing the file.
- Using console commands can disable achievements on PC, so be aware if that matters to you.
For Skyrim players who want to bypass perk grinding and get a curated set of essential perks instantly. Perfect for testing builds or for players who've already completed the game and want a fresh start without the grind. Skip if you prefer earning perks through gameplay or want a fully customizable perk overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the text file in your Skyrim directory (usually where Skyrim.exe is located) so the 'bat' command can find it.
- Open the console with the tilde key (~) and type 'bat essentialperks' (or whatever the file is named) to execute it.
- Make sure to save your game before running the command, just in case you want to revert.
