📋 About This Mod
I have often felt overwhelmed with the long list of perks the game throws at you on level up, and I've found myself spending a long time trying to decide which perk to take, only to end up going for the same build as usual. If you're like me, then this mod may be a solution for you.
Instead of the usual perk list, upon level up you will be able to choose one out of three perks randomly selected from the perk pool. There are also two new buttons in the top-right corner - Re-roll and Eliminate. Re-roll changes the random selection up to three times, but carries a chance of giving you an unlucky perk active until next level (Luck over 5 improves your chances a bit). Eliminate lets you eliminate a perk from appearing in the selection for the rest of the playthrough.
As a result, you get more varied character builds with an element of luck involved.
Automatically supports any mod-added perks.
Comes with full controller support, as shown in videos below.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community approval with 450 endorsements.
- Nearly 45,000 downloads show real demand.
- Recently updated (December 2024) so likely works with current game version.
⚠️ Cons
- May not be compatible with other perk overhauls—no compatibility notes.
For players who want a simpler perk menu without the clutter of the default system. If you're tired of scrolling through dozens of perks, this mod narrows it down to three. Skip if you're looking for a comprehensive perk expansion—this is a minimalist overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod requires a mod manager like Vortex or MO2—manual install is likely just dropping files into the Data folder.
- Since it's a perk overhaul, start a new character to see the changes clearly, as existing saves might have conflicts.
- Look for a config file or in-game settings to adjust the three perks to your liking—if none, the mod is probably hardcoded.
