📋 About This Mod
The mod will also take into account your existing level and add perk points automatically when you initially install the mod depending on your level. It works as if you have had the mod installed since the beginning of your play through. For example: If you are level 20, when you load in, you will receive an extra 20 perk points to spend. This will only happen when you first launch the game with the mod fresh installed. If you do not like this feature, there is an option in the SKYUI Mod Menu, to revert the points added automatically.
To open the menu in-game, press ESC (Escape), make sure you have SKYUI installed, and an option called Mod Configuration should be available. Open up the menu and select Extra Perk Points. Then there will be options to customize the mod. Reminder: The Extra Perk points menu option may not appear until you have leveled up at least once. After leveling up, it will definitely be available. If you scroll down to Known Bugs, you can read more about it.
In the latest update, I have added a spell to the player that when used will convert one DragonSoul to one Perk Point. I decided to mix this feature within this mod so that players don't have to download a separate mod to gain this ability. To use the spell, open magic and go to the Illusion tab. You will see the spell called "DragonSouls to Perk Points", equip it with either hand and use it to convert DragonSouls one by one until you run out. If you don't want this additional feature, install 2. 1 instead of 2. 2.
Reminder: This mod does not remove the one perk point you get every level, but allow options to receive extra perk points when leveling up. This is entirely decided through the menu in-game.
VERSION 2. 2 FEATURES []Integrated with SKYUI, edit options in-game through the SKYUI menu and applied on the fly. No save reload or game restart required. []Changes are saved and will be automatically initialized when you load a save. [*]A spell that will convert DragonSouls to Perk Points under the Illusion tab. Conversion rate: One to One.[
This Skyrim mod grants extra perk points on leveling, fully customizable, and adds a spell to convert Dragon Souls into perk points. It offers a more rewarding leveling system for players who want more flexibility in character builds.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,517 endorsements and 72,720 downloads — clearly a popular choice.
- Customizable extra perk points let you tailor the rate to your preferred playstyle.
- Dragon Soul conversion gives endgame players a use for excess souls beyond unlocking shouts.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016 — may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition updates.
- Requires a spell to convert Dragon Souls, which might be easy to miss if you don't read the description carefully.
For Skyrim players who feel the default perk point progression is too slow and want more build flexibility. Also for dragon hunters sitting on piles of unused Dragon Souls who want to turn them into tangible character power. Skip if you prefer a vanilla leveling experience or want a more overhaul-style mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod has a dedicated SE version or use the mod manager's 'port' feature to avoid crashes.
- The spell for converting Dragon Souls is added to your spell list — look for it in your Magic menu under 'Alteration' or 'Conjuration'.
- Customize the extra perk points in the mod's MCM menu (if using SkyUI) or via the included configuration file to balance difficulty.
