Choose Your Starting Skills and Stats

Description

This mod neutralizes the racial skill bonus and allows you to distribute the skill points yourself, and optionally allows you to redistribute points between health, stamina and magicka. There is a .json configuration file where you can toggle both menus and change many settings. You can make it so all the skill values will be set to the base value without any bonuses, you can also set it to add a specified number of perk points at the game start.

Starting

The menu will only open if you haven't reached level 2 yet, so that skills won't be reset on a saved game.

The menu will open in a few seconds after fighting controls get enabled. With vanilla start it should happen after your hands are untied. Tested with Live Another Life, Skyrim Unbound (Reborn) and Realm of Lorkhan.

Controls

You increase or decrease a skill/stat value by a fixed number of points at a time (be default, 5 for skills menu and 10 for stats menu). The remaining number of points is displayed at the top of the menu.

To increase a value, select the desired skill/stat and then click Exit or press the Tab or Esc key. To decrease it, do the same with the LShift key pressed (the mod checks if the key is pressed after clicking, so do not release it too quickly).

The skill you selected will be automatically selected the next time even though the menu won't scroll down. You can also select the previous selected skill at any time by clicking on Default or pressing the R key (in this case the menu will be scrolled).

When you run out of points, a "COMPLETE" option will be added at the top of the list (you still can select a skill/stat to decrease it).

Compatibility

• []No vanilla records are changed.

  []It may work incorrectly when used together with similar mods.

  []The only file conflicts you can find are SkyUILib files, which are also included in many other mods. You can safely overwrite these files in any order since they're the same in all mods.
