✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 508 endorsements and 179k downloads.
- Seamless integration into the vanilla skills menu—no separate UI hassle.
- Expands skill variety meaningfully, adding depth for role-players and completionists.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the Constellations mod as a base, so you'll need to install that first.
- Only adds three skills—if you're expecting a massive overhaul, this is more of a focused expansion.
- Compatibility with other skill mods could be a concern, especially those that alter the skills menu or leveling curves.
For Skyrim players who want more skill options without overhauling the entire leveling system. If you enjoy role-playing as a horseman, explorer, or philosopher, this adds fitting progression paths. Skip if you prefer minimal mods or don't want to depend on Constellations.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure Constellations is installed and active before adding Firmament, as it's a hard dependency.
- Load Firmament after Constellations in your mod manager to ensure proper integration.
- Check your skills menu after installing to confirm the new skills appear—if not, re-check load order.
