📋 About This Mod

What it does

Configurable Perks Per Level provides a Mod Configuration Menu (MCM) that lets you choose how many perks you get on level up (in addition to the base game's one). Decimal values are permitted, for instance, 0. 5 gives you one extra perk point every other level, while 1. 34 gives you two extra perk points every third level, but one extra perk point otherwise. You can also change this value at any time and choose whether or not to apply the current value retroactively.

By default, you gain the additional perk points simply by exiting the skills menu after leveling up (i.e. after choosing your stat increase in the skills menu). But you can gain additional perk points on sleeping instead.

MCM configuration

The mod can be configured in the MCM with the three following options:

Bonus perks per level - How many perk points you gain per level in addition to the one you get from the vanilla game. Defaults to 1 (i.e. 2 perk points per level) and ranges from 0 to 5. Decimal values are permitted: 0. 5 is one extra point every other level, 1. 34 is one extra point every level, but two extra points every 3rd level, and so on. If you change the value mid game, you will proceed with the new value, but it will not retroactively apply to past level-ups unless you click gain perk points retroactively (see below).

Notifications - Whether or not the notification lets you know if you've got any extra perk points after level up.

Perk points on level up - Whether or not you gain perk points as soon as you exit the skill menu after leveling up. Defaults to true.

Perk points on wake up - Whether or not you gain perk points by sleeping. Defaults to true, but will only activate if perk points on level up is turned off. If you turn both options off, then you'll never gain additional perk points, so probably best not to do that!

Gain perk points retroactively - If you click this the game will retroactively apply the current value of bonus perks per level to all prior levels. This can cause you to gain a lot of extra perk points on your next level up, or even "owe" perk points back. After selecting this option a pop-up message box will let you know our balance. If you are owed points you still need to level up to gain them. See the following two examples for more information:

[*]Imagine you are level 10, and had set bonus perks per level to 1. So far you would have gained 9 bonus perk points. If you now change bonus perks per level to 2, you will gain 2 bonus perk points on each level up going forwards. But if you change bonus perks per level to 2 and click gain perk points retroactively, the game w
