Compatibility
Highly compatible with most setups, and with most other mods.
-
[]Spell Perk Item Distributor (SPID) does not edit levelled lists, and does not modify or generate new records.
[
]Body slots, however, are not compatible. Choose wisely, or edit the body slot. I will not alter body slots.[]Clipping will likely occur depending on setup. I will not resolve clipping issues.
Installation and Uninstallation
Use the mod manager of your choice to install. Or manually. To uninstall, remove with mod manager. My understanding is that SPID will not impact save games in any way. Safe to uninstall at anytime.
Configuration
Huge number of configuration options available. Some knowledge of SPID ini (_DISTRI.ini) is helpful.

⚠️ Cons
