Intro
What is Perkus Maximus?
Perkus Maximus (PerMa) is a large scale perk, skill and gameplay overhaul. I implemented new gameplay mechanics, enhanced existing ones, and rebuilt all perk trees from scratch to support the rebuilt mechanics. The result is something that will completely change the way you approach the character building process, and thus the entire game.
When working on PerMa, I used all the experience and feedback I collected during the creation of my other large mod, Skyrim Redone (SkyRe). Today, SkyRe is the most well-known and popular gameplay overhaul for Skyrim, and to be frank, I think PerMa is _a lot_ better in most ways.

T3nd0's Perkus Maximus SSE is a large-scale perk and gameplay overhaul for Skyrim Special Edition, succeeding Skyrim Redone. It adds hundreds of new perks, spells, and gear with advanced mechanics, aiming to refresh exploration. With nearly 2,000 endorsements and over 76,000 downloads, it's a well-established overhaul, though it hasn't been updated since June 2018.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge overhaul that makes Skyrim feel fresh again—tons of new toys to play with.
- Community-approved with nearly 2,000 endorsements and over 76,000 downloads.
- From the creator of Skyrim Redone, so you know the pedigree is solid.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches or other mods.
- Large overhauls like this can conflict with other gameplay mods—expect to do some load order tweaking.
- With hundreds of new perks and mechanics, it can be overwhelming for players who prefer a vanilla-like experience.
For Skyrim veterans who've played through the vanilla perk trees and want a fresh, deep RPG experience. If you're a modder who loves tinkering with load orders and discovering new synergies, this is your jam. Skip if you're happy with vanilla or want a lightweight tweak—this is a full-blown overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to handle installation and load order—this mod is big and needs proper sorting.
- Check the mod's compatibility patches for other popular mods you use; many overhauls need patches to work together.
- Start a new playthrough to fully experience the new perks—applying mid-game can cause issues.
