When you level up, you can choose a SPECIAL attribute.
Choose ONE of the following:
SpecialEveryTwoLevels
This occurs at levels 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34.
SpecialEveryThreeLevels
This occurs at levels 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33
SpecialEveryFiveLevels
This occurs at levels 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35
Making this retroactive would be too complicated for me to do, so if you want to pretend it's retroactive, you can just use player.addspecialpoints #
For example, if you're using the "five levels" version and you're level 10, you would have gained 2 points if you started using the mod from level 1, so type player.addspecialpoints 2 in the console.
