S7 Skill System - A Skyrim Style Leveling Overhaul

My perk/leveling overhaul that is currently in BETA for testing. Most things should function correctly, although you may need to patch for other mods (see Load Order, Patching, and Compatibility section). I need testing for balancing XP, and for suggestions. Also it's ESL flagged, so won't take up a load order slot.

General Description

The S7 Skill System (Super Special Skyrim Style Semi-Scaling Scripted Skill System)

This is a perk/leveling overhaul. Unlike previous Fallout games, you do not gain skill points or perk points the usual way.

You gain XP for doing stuff to gain skill levels - aka Skyrim Style.

Every skill scales somehow - aka Semi-Scaling.

Special points influence how fast you level a skill - aka Super Special.

(You gain a Special point every X levels (configurable in MCM)

This is all accomplished using fairly short scripts - aka Scripted.

Finally, you have 29 different skills to level - aka Skill System.

Most skills have some custom perks. Some of the perks have custom animated icons, the rest are still icons. I'm working on animating all of them, and then adding custom sounds to them.

Many features are customizable in MCM

Detailed Description

All vanilla perks are accessible in the menu.

Playing with less loot/ammo? Or leveling not going fast enough for ya? Adjust the skill multipliers in the MCM. The formula for calculating experience is defined here and in MCM.

Formula: ((SPECIAL Stat SPECIAL stat multiplier) Global Skill Multiplier) (Skill Level Multiplier)

The Skill Level multiplier starts at 1, and is multiplied by the “Decreasing Skill Level Multiplier” after the skill increases. So for example, if the Decreasing Skill Level Multiplier is set to . 98 in MCM, then when the skill increases from 0 to 1, then that multiplier is now . 98. From skill increase from 1 to 2, that multiplier times itself or . 98 . 98. It exponentially decreases.

This mod is in BETA for testing, because I literally don’t have the time to test everything. Granted, most things should function, although you may need to patch certain things. See compatibility section for patching.

Besides the perks in traits, every other perk is accessible if you meet the skill requirements.

Here are some more niche cases of perks:

Certain perks, such as Lone Wanderer or Ghoulish, require taking a trait (Lonely Wanderer or Ghoul-Like (which is also accessible in normal menu), that gives you a unique buff and debuff. This debuff can be negated by taking higher ranks of the related perk (taking ranks in Ghoulish decreases the XP debuff from Ghoul-Like).

There are several VATS perks that are not in the Trait or
