✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,267 endorsements and 64k downloads.
- Gives you control over your starting spells from the get-go.
- Lightweight and does exactly what it says.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016, so it may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- No mention of compatibility with popular magic overhauls like Ordinator or Apocalypse.
- Limited scope—if you want more than starting spell selection, this won't help.
For Skyrim players who hate the default spell loadout and want to start with a specific build in mind. Also great for roleplayers who want their character to have a particular magical background. Skip if you're looking for new spells or gameplay overhauls—this is purely a starting tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to load this mod early in your load order to avoid conflicts with other mods that alter starting spells.
- If you use a mod manager, use the preview feature to see which spells you'll get before you start a new game.
- This mod works best with a fresh playthrough—it won't change your current character's spells.
