📋 About This Mod
Just a simple patch I made for compatibility between Static Skill Leveling Rewritten and Survival Mode Improved.
There's a bug / unintended interaction between these two mods, where if you are affected by reduced skill improvement, you are unable to increase your skills through the SSLR Skill Menu.
This patch simply removes the reduced skill improvement function in Survival Mode Improved.
DISCLAIMER: I am not a modder, and I have no experience with uploading patches to Nexus Mods. I have made a lot of patches for mods in my current load order through SSEEdit, and this mod was made using SSEEdit. It simply copies values from the Survival Mode Improved mod and overrides them with empty values for the reduced skill improvement.
I don't take requests.
This patch was made using existing values made by Colinswrath, the author of Survival Mode Improved - SKSE, and simply overwritten with empty data for the 3 reduced skill improvement values. All credit goes to the authors of Survival Mode Improved.
While Static Skil Leveling Rewritten is not required for this patch to function, the patch would technically be useless without it, unless you just want to remove the reduced skill improvement effect.
This patch should be loaded after Survival Mode Improved. There are no load requirements in respects to Static Skill Leveling Rewritten.
