Skill Practice PlusPlus

Overview

SkillPracticePlusPlus (SP++) is a complete, from-scratch rebuild of the excellent Skill Practice mod by Sweet6Shooter which itself was inspired by Practice Makes Perfect, featuring a more streamlined design, numerous bug fixes, extra features, added customizability, and more!

New Features in PlusPlus

Before we get to the nitty gritty of all the skills, some additional features added in SP++ include:

  Toggle-able practice messages to show progress to the next skill level

  Skills increase when you perform an action, even in menus

  Educated - Makes Medicine, Repair, Science, and Survival increase 15% faster

  A new, more customizable algorithm for practice threshold increases

  A new, more customizable system for Intelligence-based practice increases

  The ability to change how many SPECIAL points you start the game with - removed in 1. 4. 0, just use Stewie's Tweaks

Skill Practice

The core feature of SP++, just like the mods it was based off of is the ability to level your skills "Skyrim-style" instead of by getting a number of points to distribute when you level up.  As such, there have to be specific tasks to perform that increase this new "practice" value that determines how close you are to the next level of a skill.  Those tasks are:
