📋 About This Mod
Removes perk investment requirements so you can pick any perk without having to spend 4+ perks in a perk tree just to unlock a new row. ESM mod created with xEdit
Basically flattens the perk trees so you don't need to invest perk points to unlock other perks on different rows. Allows you to buy any perk.
Want to be a boostpack pro without being a pilot? Want to manage the best settlement possible without having to waste tons of perk points on other stuff? Want to be a heavy weapons and explosives pro without having to invest in other puny weapons? This is the mod for you!
Installation
Use the latest Beta from the MO2 discord. Make sure enable_plugin_management is set to true in the Starfield Support Plugin settings in MO2's settings.
Make sure to also install the plugins.txt enabler mod.
Make sure to remove any and all entries related to sTestFile= in your ini files.
Install the mod as normal with MO2, then enable it. That should be it!

I have no clue lol, good luck and please let me know :D I'll update the instructions once the best approach has been found
Manual
Place the .esm into your Starfield data folder.
Install the plugins.txt enabler mod. Create the plugins.txt file at C:\Users\<your user>\AppData\Local\Starfield\Plugins.txt
In that file, add
*FlatPerkTree.esm
That should be it!
Caution Against Using sTestFile1 to sTestFile10 for Module Loading
Utilizing the sTestFile1 to sTestFile10 entries in the StarfieldCustom.ini file for the purpose of loading module files is highly discouraged. Doing so can create a chaotic environment where custom module files are loaded inan unexpected sequence, possibly interleaved with official files. This can lead to a variety of issues, including but not limited to, game crashes, data corruption, and other instability problems.
So if you were using that approach before, get rid of those lines and use plugins.txt instead!
