📋 About This Mod

Increases the effects of the Aptitudes during character creation.Optionally also switches the stat boost from Bureaucrat to Lie instead of Block.Spacer's Choice Edition (SCE) tested only.

There are multiple versions of this mod available for download, depending on what affect you want (only use 1 version!):

  • []Better Aptitudes 5 - Increases the stat boost of Aptitudes to 5 points (from 1), the food/drink effect boost to 15% (from 3), and the damage reductions to -5% (from -3; admittedly, I was unsure of the best balance here for these compared to the rest).

    []Better Aptitudes 10 - Same as above, except stats to 10 points, food/drink effect to 30%, and damage reduction to -10% (again, unsure of the best balance here).

    []Better Aptitudes Bureaucrat Lie 1 - Keeps everything at vanilla values, but switches the Bureaucrat's stat boost from Block to Lie.

    []Better Aptitudes Bureaucrat Lie 5 - Same as Better Aptitudes 5, but also switches the Bureaucrat's stat boost from Block to Lie.

    []Better Aptitudes Bureaucrat Lie 10 - Same as Better Aptitudes 10, but also switches the Bureaucrat's stat boost from Block to Lie.

    These are only tested on Spacer's Choice Edition (SCE).  I do not know if they will work with the non-SCE version.

    These will likely conflict with any other mod that alters Aptitudes, but should work fine along side anything altering the attribute selections.  Oh, and you can load these in to an existing game and they will take affect.

    For installation, I use Vortex to manage my mods, but ultimately you need to extract and place the contained .pak file to here (on Windows based systems):
