📋 About This Mod
Welcome to Leveling Freedom, or:

LEVELING UNLEASHED:
TOPPLE THE MOUNTAIN AND ASCEND TO GODHOOD IN A LIMOUSINE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(We agree, that title is a bit much. There's not even a real Limousine.)
What does this do?
This mod gives you control over the shape of the leveling curve in the game. You can adjust how quickly levels come at first, and how much more they cost as you level up - if more at all. Configurations are also saved with you character, so you can have multiple different characters at once.
What does this change?
fXPLevelUpBase:
This is the base amount of XP required for each level. In vanilla, this is 75 XP, which is completely insignificant.
fXPLevelUpMult:
This is the additional amount of XP required to level up, which stacks with each additional level. In the base game, this is 25, which causes the curve to increase very sharply.

This mod does not touch Skill Leveling for two reasons: To maximize compatibility, and because the difference it makes isn't very significant.
Why do I want this?
You could have your own reasons, but I made this mod since the leveling in Skyrim is extremely drastic, going from very shallow to very steep around level 30. If you're anything like me, you want to start a new character once you reach that point, which means you never get to see late-game content. This mod allows for your character to progress more smoothly into higher levels to encourage you to continue to invest in a character for longer.
Why is this an MCM?
-
[]An MCM allows you to configure it how you want.
[
]Settings are saved with a character (save game), allows for multiple characters.[]One mod file is easier both for users and me.
[]No "boot & pray", information and confirmation in-game, in realtime.
Technical Details
Installation can be done at any time, but it is recommended to use this with a new character just for consistency.
Configuration is very easy. Simply open the MCM and select your desired values at any time. The values are retrieved from the game when the MCM is opened, and therefore act as an easy way to confirm that the settings are correctly appl

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 3,780 endorsements and 1.0M downloads show this mod is widely used and appreciated.
- Solves a real problem: no more blazing through the first 30 levels then hitting a wall—you can tune the curve to your liking.
- Per-character settings mean you can have a fast-paced playthrough and a slow-burn one without reinstalling anything.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or the Special Edition's newer patches.
- The mod only affects leveling speed—if you're looking for deeper progression overhauls, this won't add new perks or mechanics.
For Skyrim players who feel the default leveling curve is too fast early and too slow later, and want to fine-tune their progression. Also great for roleplayers who want different pacing per character. Skip if you're happy with vanilla leveling or want a full progression overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod saves settings per character, make sure you configure the curve on each new playthrough—your old settings won't carry over.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the installation to avoid overwriting files manually.
- Check the mod's forum or posts section for any known compatibility notes with other leveling mods, as the description doesn't list any.
