📋 About This Mod
Makes Abilities work like modifiers. That lets you level past 100 and reduces exp per level for affected skills/attributes
A small bug fix mod for OpenMW that changes how Abilities function, treating them as modifiers. This allows skills and attributes to level past 100 and reduces the experience required per level for affected stats. With 30 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche utility for players seeking to bypass the level cap.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny but focused fix for a specific OpenMW quirk
- Recent update (April 2026) shows active maintenance
- Simple concept—no bloat, just changes how Abilities behave
⚠️ Cons
- Only 30 endorsements—niche appeal, not widely tested
- May conflict with other mods that alter leveling or Abilities
For OpenMW players who want to push past the level 100 cap and tweak progression. If you're a min-maxer or enjoy long-term character development, this is a handy tool. Skip if you're fine with vanilla leveling or prefer overhaul mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's for OpenMW, make sure you're using the OpenMW engine, not the original Morrowind executable.
- Back up your save before installing—mods that alter leveling can affect existing characters.
- Check if you have other mods that modify Abilities or leveling; they might conflict.
