📋 About This Mod
This plugin allows you to set amount of perk points gained per level (2 points by default). Per level perk points configurration available.
Latest F4SE required. If you use Fallout4 beta patch - install F4SE for beta, install non-beta version otherwise.
Get it at http://f4se.silverlock.org/. Install it at Fallout4 directory.
After you have proper F4SE installed, extract contents of plugin archive at Fallout4 'Data' directory. Be sure you end up with pppl.dll and pppl.ini.example laying in "Data\F4SE\Plugins" of Fallout4 install directory.
If you want to set your own amount of points gained, then:
1. Rename pppl_example.ini to pppl.ini
2. Read configuration examples in ini file.
In order f4se to work, you have to start Fallout4 with fallout4_loader.exe.
Tested on English and Russian versions. Every other should work fine too.

A good comment from HydroDioxide:
How to get F4SE to run from steam:
Rename Fallout4Launcher to Fallout4Launcher_backup
Make a copy of f4se_loader and rename it to Fallout4Launcher
Game will now launch with F4SE from steam and will work with overlay+achievements+gametime etc etc
A little tip for those, who like to grab everythig they see and hate to fast-travel back and forth to unload loot:
Open console and type 000250fe.activate player 1
this will open Sanctuary hills workshop and it's container on top. No mouse and Magic-T-dump-all-junc-button, though. But you can switch between panes with right and left mouse buttons and other keyboard keys work.
If you want to thank me - endorse and/or donate.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 11,142 endorsements — clearly a go-to for perk tweaking.
- 875,530 downloads show it's battle-tested by a huge player base.
- Does exactly what it says: simple config for perk points per level, no bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires F4SE, so you'll need to set that up first if you haven't already.
- No in-game menu mentioned — likely requires editing an INI or config file, which might intimidate casual modders.
- Last updated June 2026 — check if it's compatible with your current F4SE version.
For Fallout 4 players who want to fine-tune their perk progression, whether you're doing a challenge run with fewer points or a power fantasy with more. Skip if you're fine with vanilla leveling or want a mod that adds new perks — this only changes the point count.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure F4SE is installed and launched via f4se_loader.exe, not the default launcher, or the mod won't work.
- Check the mod's forum posts for any known INI settings or config file locations — the description doesn't specify, so community guidance is key.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install the mod through it to keep your load order clean, but you'll still need to manually edit any config files.
