I consider Vanilla and Fully modded to be two different games entirely. Sometimes I'll just decide to open up Skyrim on my switch. No need to fiddle around with downloads and mod managers for days on end, just open up, watch the 20 minute intro as I brainstorm on what kind of character I want to play, and off I go to be the exact same spell-sword I always play.

In my opinion, the mod SKYSHARDS is a lot more flexible, since you can use the mod on a non-Dragonborn character playthrough. If I am not mistaken, the alternate start mod called SKYRIM UNBOUND REBORN has an option that disables dragonsoul absorption should you choose to play as a non-dragonborn character.

Used Static Skill Leveling Rewritten for a while and everything was good until I decided to start a warrior character and my two handed skill would not increase. Lots of others are having similar issues if you check the comments over on the nexus page. Just a warning to those considering using it to make sure you test and make sure all of the skills are leveling up properly before you get deep into a playthrough only to realize one of your skills is broken.

Having that problem too, if it helps, I think any mod that does anything to the actor values may causing the problem, I was attempting to use this mod with classic classes and birth signs SSE (Reimagined) with the set AV scripts addon and I noticed the problem, when I turned it off, it started to work again, also, if you edited the Experience mod's ini, it may have also stopped the skills from leveling as well

@kumbi8368 2 ай бұрын

Excellent video. Despite being interested in these mods I had been avoiding them for a while because I didnt like how they each interacted with the vanilla system. But combining them together to create an entirely new system looks to work really well. For example 'Exercise' plus the 10 points you gain from every level made my characters stats grow too quickly for my liking in the early game. On the other hand 'Geometric Stat Growth' made my characters stats grow way too slowly. But combining the two looks like a very interesting synergy.

I love this and the fact that you take the time to walk through and give some examples of everything. Many just say here is the mod, this is what it does, this is how it work, this is how it looks, on to the next one.

@jessiehogue. 2 ай бұрын

Great list. I love pretty much all of your suggestions except for one. I'll pass on the Static Skills Leveling one, because to me, it is immersion breaking to be able to gain points in a skill I never used, and it makes sense to have to use a skill in order to grow stronger/better at it. Increasing skills through repeated use and practice feels just as natural IMO as repeatedly lifting weights to increase one's lifting strength or reading a lot to improve reading ability and speed. If anything, I'd say Static Skill Leveling sounds more like an exploit to me than vanilla, 'magically' gaining knowledge in something you may never have even thought about doing before, lol. :P That being said, I think I'll use every other mod you suggested in my newest modlist, so thanks a lot for this video and your suggestions. Cheers!

@Cwronaga216 2 ай бұрын

I also recommend as an alternative or alongside geometric stat growth the mod limited leveling by rough shot that decreases the amount of stat gain you get per level to a tiny 5 . I also recommend any mod that gives you a permanent bonus every time you make a skill legendary and a mod that makes legendary return you to a moderate value rather than resetting you to the beginning that way you get a constant bonus for constantly leveling a skill without sacrificing perks

Right ? Earlier he's like "just dumping points into a stat when you lvl up is dumb, much more immersive if it increases when you use it", but later he's like "having to use skills to level them up is dumb, it's way better if you can just dump points into them when you lvl up". Contradictory much ?

@jessiehogue. 2 ай бұрын

@@strawhatoverlord9184 Indeed. The Static Skills Leveling one is the only one I won't be using in the list. I think the vanilla skill leveling method makes a lot more sense, like lifting weights repeatedly to improve lifting strength. Makes a lot more sense than magically gaining alchemy when you never even touched the stuff. I will however still definitely use Skyrim Skill Uncapper to increase the skill cap, and to lower the speed at which XP is gained for skills because they do tend to go up too fast for my taste.

I loved the video but personally I dislike the whole idea of the static skill leveling mod, I don't like the system in Fallout and I wouldn't like the system in Skyrim. Being able to allocate points wherever you want despite not actually using the skill is ridiculous to me, you mentioned the original system being easy to cheese but this way is also just as bad, at least you have to grind and literal cast spells over and over and over again like you would if magic was real to get better at it. I do really like discovering areas granting xp, and clearing dungeons and doing quests granting xp. But if you do all that and the whole time you don't cast a single restoration spell, but level up your character enough to max out your restoration without ever actually using the skill I think that's immersion breaking for me, cool mod for sure and it's good that you can modify it through mcm but I feel like it's easy enough to cheese
