📋 About This Mod
I changed the values from 0. 02 and 0. 03 to 0. 15 and 0. 25, running and swimming respectively. For reference, a single jump increases acrobatics by 0. 15.
Now running will level athletics like jumping levels acrobatics. If you jump everywhere your acrobatics will be leveled fast, why wouldn't athletics work the same way? Swimming will increase even more, just like jumping up a hill does.
Faster Athletics Gain is a small mod for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion that increases the rate at which running and swimming improve the Athletics skill, making it level up faster. It is a simple tweak for players who find the default skill progression too slow.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple, focused tweak that does exactly what it says.
- Small mod with 28 endorsements and 524 downloads — a niche but appreciated utility.
- Last updated in November 2024, so it's relatively fresh.
⚠️ Cons

For Oblivion players who want to level Athletics faster without grinding. If you're tired of slow skill progression and want a quick fix, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for a comprehensive overhaul — this is a single-purpose tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod file in your Oblivion Data folder and enable it in the launcher's Data Files section.

- This mod only affects Athletics gain, so you'll still need to level other skills normally.
