Less Heinous Leveling XP Curve

I've released a new XP mod, XP and Leveling Overhaul (XPALO)!

It fixes the many issues with the Vanilla leveling experience in a much more complete way than this mod. I would recommend using that mod instead of LHL, but I'll keep LHL up for those who want an experience closer to Vanilla, or non-Steam users who don't want to mess with the fiddly non-CCR XPALO usage.

  Less Heinous Leveling

  As usual, Bethesda has created a leveling curve that makes it increasingly impossible to level as you get higher. This mod seeks to make reaching high levels less miserable, while staying close to the original leveling curve at lower levels.

  The mod comes in three flavors. For all three flavors, the XP to reach 20 is only slightly less than Vanilla, but they take progressively less XP than Vanilla for each level, which becomes more noticeable as you reach higher levels.

  XP to reach 50 = ~83% of vanilla

  XP to reach 100 = ~67% of vanilla

  XP to reach 328 = ~25% of vanilla

  Highest XP for one level: no cap, ~11k at 328

  Less

  XP to reach 50 = ~87% of vanilla

  XP to reach 100 = ~75% of vanilla

  XP to reach 328 = ~35% of vanilla

  Highest XP for one level: no cap, ~18k at 328

  More

  XP to reach 50 = ~71% of vanilla

  XP to reach 100 = ~50% of vanilla

  XP to reach 328 = ~13% of vanilla

  Highest XP for one level: caps at 4560

  The XP curve is modified using a very simple edit to Bethesda's leveling variables. There are three numbers that determine the XP needed for each level:

  • []fXPStart (vanilla = 200): the starting XP required for each level

    []fXPBase (vanilla = 75): the base amount XP required increases by for each new level past 1 (eg, level 4 = 753)

    []fXPExpMult (vanilla = 0. 0015): Modifies the XP increase such that higher levels increase along the lines 75, 75, 75, 75, 80, 80...

    This mod simply sets fXPExpMult to a negative value so that the XP required for each level slowly levels off instead of increasing to the moon. Thus, the pattern for additional XP needed for each new level changes like this:

    75, 75, 75, 80, 80, 80, 85...

    75, 75, 75, 70, 70, 65...

    Note that these patterns are just here to demonstrate the idea; the actual increase per level does not exactly match these, as it takes more than 1-2 levels before the num
