📋 About This Mod
Simple mode to allow you to pick perks as you like.
Because I'm lazy, I built this upon Perks Unbound - SSE Edition by Iriodus, so credit to him. Removed skill level requirements and novice to master perk requirements from his mod.
Inherits the following from his mod:
- Steady Hand: Requires “Eagle Eye” to function
- Disarming Bash requires Power Bash for the same reason
- Impact is useless without Destruction Dual Casting.
Installation Requirements ====================== Official Skyrim SE patch 1. 1. 47. 0 or greater.
Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch is required.
Perks need no requirements is a lightweight Skyrim Special Edition mod that removes skill level and novice-to-master perk prerequisites, letting you pick any perk freely. Built on Perks Unbound - SSE Edition, it retains certain perk dependencies for balance. Requires the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and effective—just install and pick any perk you want without grinding skills.
- Community-tested with 194 endorsements and over 5,000 downloads.
- Keeps some perk dependencies intact, so it doesn't completely break game balance.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch, so you can't use it without that dependency.
- Built on another mod, so you're relying on two mods' maintenance—and this one hasn't been updated since 2016.
- May conflict with other perk overhaul mods that change perk requirements or trees.
For Skyrim SE players who hate grinding skills just to unlock perks and want to experiment with builds freely. Also for modders who want a base to tweak perk requirements further. Skip if you prefer a balanced progression or use major perk overhauls like Ordinator.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch installed first, or the mod won't work.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and enable—no extra setup needed.
- Test with a new character to see the perk tree changes immediately, but it should work on existing saves too.
