📋 About This Mod


INTRODUCTION

Are you annoyed by the fact that you cannot increase your SPECIAL stats and skills past 10, respectively 100 points? Are you tired of your casual friend bragging about their level 50 character with maxed out stats with a playtime of less than 40 hours while your character with over 9000 hours of playtime has the same stats as him? Don't you hate it when you loose the sense of progression once you reach the stats' limits?

Well, you don't have to worry about these problems anymore. With this mod you can now continue improving your character past the normal SPECIAL, skill and level caps.


MAX LEVEL

The max level is calculated only once per game session, when starting the game. It depends on the following game settings: iXPBase and iXPBumpBase. With vanilla settings, the max level is capped at 5351. The bigger the value of these two settings, the lower the max level. The reason for this is because I used the formula from the GECK wiki: n = (n - 1) ((n - 2) / 2 iXPBumpBase + iXPBase), where n is the level. The max amount of XP the engine allows you to have is an int32 number, hence the 5351 cap.

Remember, the calculated max level may be overwritten by other mods such as PN's Rebalance Module. If it does, then you will have to edit said mods yourself if you want to keep the uncapped level provided by Limitless Stats or try toggling the "Uncapped Level" MCM option to OFF and then ON again.

Recently it has been discovered that when you level up past 99, the game would crash. This has been fixed in version 1. 2 where an anti-crash messagebox appears everytime you level up beyond 99. This might get annoying after a while, but it's the only way to keep a CTD-free level progression.


SPECIAL STATS

When a SPECIAL stat is increased past 10, a new perk associated with that stat is automatically unlocked, whose bonuses are raised based on how many points you spend in that specific stat. Also, the Intense Training perk can be taken for an unlimited amount of times.

Note: The Vigor Tester machine won't allow you to raise your SPECIAL's above 10. This kind of menu is hardcoded and there is nothing that I can do about that.

Here is the list of the new perks and their details for every SPECIAL stat:

From 11 Strength and onwards, each added point in Strength will increase your Melee Weapons skill by 5 points and Carry Weight by
