📋 About This Mod
This mod requires NVSE, I haven't updated it in years. My apologies to anyone that has tried to use it and has had issues...
Download NVSE here: http://nvse.silverlock.org/
WORKING MAXIMUM LEVEL ADJUSTER
Every mod of this nature that I've tried has not worked above level 50 so I decided to whip one up of my own.
There are currently four variations:
Max Level 50.esp
Max Level 60.esp
Max Level 75.esp
Max Level 100.esp
Make sure you ONLY use ONE of these files.
Instalation
------------------------------------------------------
1. Install NVSE from http://nvse.silverlock.org/
2. Copy the desired ESP into your Data folder and activate using the Fallout Launcher or FOMM. Place this mod anywhere in the load order.
Uninstallation
------------------------------------------------------
1. Deactivate and delete the ESP.

Boosted Skill Effects
Although this is a simple mod, I could not figure out a way to edit a Game Setting via script without NVSE. If anyone could enlighten me on this, please do!
Partial credit goes to MGE for pointing me in the right direction and Marcurios for getting me started with FNVEdit. Make sure you check out the mods by them, I can't play without them!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with nearly 7k endorsements and 145k downloads — clearly works for a lot of people.
- Does exactly what it says: removes the level cap so you can keep grinding perks and stats.
- Lightweight and to the point — no bloat, just the fix you need.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2011 — might have issues with newer game versions or mod setups, though Fallout 3 is stable.
- Only adjusts the level cap — if you want other gameplay tweaks, you'll need additional mods.
For Fallout 3 players who hit the level cap and want to keep playing without starting over. Also for completionists who want to max out every perk. Skip if you're fine with the vanilla cap or want more comprehensive gameplay overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple plugin, just drop it into your Data folder and activate it in your mod manager or launcher.
- If you're using FOSE or other mods, load order usually doesn't matter for this, but keep it active to ensure the cap is removed.
- Make sure your game is fully patched to the latest version to avoid any compatibility hiccups.
