📋 About This Mod
In vanilla Skyrim, some skills are much harder to level than others, and some perk trees are near completely worthless. SPERG fixes both of those things by adjusting skill leveling rates, adding a number of different sources of skill gain for some of the harder skills to level, and completely overhauling the perk trees. The leveling adjustments reward players for actually going out and playing the game instead of just grinding skills because they don't go up fast enough any other way, and SPERG's perks are truly exceptional. Far from being the boring, minimalist perks of the regular game, each perk is meaningful and unique. Many perks could even be made into their own standalone mod. Give SPERG a shot and see why so many people refuse to play without it!
BEFORE YOU INSTALL:
This mod requires SKSE, SkyUI, and the Skyrim -Community- Uncapper. See the installation section for more details.
BEFORE YOU UPGRADE:
Any SPERG version prior to 4. 0 must be uninstalled before installing newer versions. Don't just delete the old version - you must use the included uninstall function or your save file will retain abilities and script fragments that cause unpredictable bugs. See the upgrade section for more details.

Why install this mod?

-More playstyles
Play the character you want without worrying about gimping yourself in combat. Characters like non-destruction mages and dagger rogues are much more viable with this mod.
