📋 About This Mod
The aim of this mod is to expand upon the training system in Skyrim
by introducing new customization options and new trainers.
Training Customization
Replaces the vanilla training menu, adding customization options for training cost, training limits, and new benefits added by this mod.
Users can customize through an MCM menu (if SkyUI is installed), console commands or edits with TES5Edit.
New Trainers
Over 40 vanilla NPCs now offer Common training services.
If you don't want this, it can be disabled.
Requirements and Compatibility
Dawnguard and Dragonborn required.
Fully compatible with all my mods.
SkyUI required for MCM version; no other mods required.
Custom trainers added by other mods will use the vanilla training menu and won't have access to training customization.
Customization
There are 19 customization options, allowing you to change things like how much
training costs, how often you can train, and what other benefits you can gain
from training other than skill increases.
For SkyUI users, all options can be changed with the MCM.
Without SkyUI, options must be changed by editing their
global values using TES5Edit or console commands.
