✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community trust with 699 endorsements and 17k downloads
- Works with a wide range of popular perk overhauls, so it fits most load orders
- Frequent updates (last updated June 2026) show active maintenance
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Synergy as a master, so you need to install that mod even if you don't use its perks
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter the same skill locking systems
- Niche use case: only worth it if you specifically want skill locking without Synergy's perks
For Skyrim players who want the added challenge of skill locking but prefer using perk overhauls like Ordinator or Requiem. If you're already using Synergy's full perk tree, you don't need this. Skip if you're happy with vanilla skill progression or don't care about locking skills.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Synergy installed first, then load SALSa after your perk overhaul in your mod manager
- Check the mod's compatibility notes for specific load order instructions with Ordinator or Requiem
- If you're using a mod manager, use the preview feature to see if any file conflicts arise before activating
