📋 About This Mod
NEW explanation for version 4 of this mod!
This mod no longer tries to fix the overly fast Magic Skill leveling speed! My new mod Magic Skill Leveling Fixed provides the ultimate solution without side effects!
This mod is now a simple skill leveling XP requirement curve increaser that affects all skills equally. It is now assumed you use my new mod to take care of the Magic Skill leveling problem. The curve has been adjusted to be less agressive in version 4. The old curve was chose overly steep to solve the Magic Skill leveling problem. Unlike in version 3, low level skills do not level faster anymore, the new curve only slows down (practically no change for level 5 skills).

Completely remove the old version 3 first if you have it installed!

If you do want to make leveling even slower, I recommend using Slower Skill leveling XP or the optional slower leveling files of Ascension Remastered, since they only touch XP multipliers for major and minor skills rather than the general skill leveling curve. You can use the interactive Graph 3 to visualize your changes, it has two sliders for minor and major XP gain modifiers.
Installation
There are two files:
SLXPCI - GSL version (Steam - OBSE users)
Requires Game Settings Loader & OBSE & Steam! If you don't have/use one of those, skip this file and pick the next one
SLXPCI - ESP version (Non-Steam users)
Pick this if you do not have Steam, OBSE or Game Settings Loader
