Extra Level Perk Points and DragonSouls to Perk Points

Description
This mod was originally uploaded for Nexusmods by me. I have decided to upload it to the steam workshop as well. You can find the nexus mod page here: Nexus Mods[www.nexusmods.com]

OVERVIEW
This mod adds the ability to receive a certain amount of extra perk points when you level up. Eventually, when you become a high level, it can take a really long time to gain perks and only gaining one perk point per level can be unappealing. This mod aims to add a little extra excitement to leveling up, providing you with extra points and the amount you receive which is entirely configurable in-game! Although, a simple mod, there are a lot of perks and combined with a large perk overhaul; there could be over 400+. Without a mod like this one, you may never get to experience all perks in Skyrim or try out any perk overhauls to the full extent.

The mod will also take into account your existing level and add perk points automatically when you initially install the mod depending on your level. It works as if you have had the mod installed since the beginning of your play through. For example: If you are level 20, when you load in, you will receive an extra 20 perk points to spend. This will only happen when you first launch the game with the mod fresh installed. If you do not like this feature, there is an option in 2.1, SKYUI Mod Menu, to revert the points added automatically.

To open the menu in-game, press ESC (Escape), make sure you have SKYUI installed, and an option called Mod Configuration should be available. Open up the menu and select Extra Perk Points. Then there will be options to customize the mod. Reminder: The Extra Perk points menu option may not appear until you have leveled up at least once. After leveling up, it will definitely be available. If you scroll down to Known Bugs, you can read more about it.

In the latest update, I have added a spell to the player that when used will convert one DragonSoul to one Perk Point. I decided to mix this feature within this mod so that players don't have to download a separate mod to gain this ability. To use the spell, open magic and go to the Illusion tab. You will see the spell called "DragonSouls to Perk Points", equip it with either hand and use it to convert DragonSouls one by one until you run out.

Reminder: This mod does not remove the one perk point you get every level, but allow options to receive extra perk points when leveling up. This is entirely decided through the menu in-game.

VERSION 2.2 FEATURES
  • Integrated with SKYUI, edit options in-game through the SKYUI menu and applied on the fly. No save reload or game restart required.
  • Changes are saved and will be automatically initialized when you load a save.
  • A spell that will convert DragonSouls to Perk Points under the Illusion tab. Conversion rate: One to One.

    Personalize how you want to receive extra perk points:
  • One extra perk point per level
  • One extra perk point every two levels
  • One extra perk point every four levels
  • Two extra perk points per level

    Addition options such as:
  • Enable / disable notifications
  • Add perk points
  • Remove perk points
  • Remove total perk points added when you first install the mod

KNOWN BUGS

1. SKYUI Menu may not appear until you levelup the first time.
If you would like to force the menu to appear, open console and type: "setStage ski_ConfigManagerInstance 1". I have tried my best to look for a work around but it simple not possible currently. Minor issue but sorry in advance if you become confused.

2. You will NOT receive your extra perks until you open the perk menu and close it again. Then you will receive your extra perk points. There is currently no work around to this, sorry for the inconvenience.

The mod is compatible with all mods including ones that adds/edits perks. If you encounter problems, be sure to inform me and I will take a look.

CHANGE-LOG

Version 2.2
- Added DragonSouls to Perk Points conversion spell.

Version 2.1
- Added back notifications
- Added an option to enable / disable notifications
- Edited the remove perks automatically added function and made it work based off level when you install, not your current level.
- Edited the remove perk points option to now only remove a perk point one at a time. Click continuously to remove multiple perk points.

Version 2.0
- Incorporated SKYUI Mod menu, allowed for all variants of the mod to be accessed and selected in-game without have to reload a save or the game itself. This in turn created a base for adding more features in the future.
- Removed the need to have to install different varaints through the website.
- Added additional options to the SKYUI menu that allows people to do some extra things on the side.
- Added an option to remove the perk points automatically added when installing the mod for the first time.
- Tested the mod with perk overhauls to ensure that its compatibility with the most popular ones.
- Moved all variants on the website expect 2.0 to old versions. I suggest that nobody downloads them and instead downloads 2.0 and customizes through the mod menu in-game.

Version 1.2
- Re-wrote the mod for better optimization.
- Fixed a bug where some players, not everyone, would not receive extra perk points after leveling a few times.
- Fixed a bug where the calculation for one perk point per two levels and one perk point per four levels was slightly wrong. Leading to incorrect extra perk points received.

Version 1.0 (Initial Release)
- Ability to gain extra perk points when you level
- Initial four variants of ways to be rewarded (One perk point every level (Default), Two perk points per level, One perk point per two levels, One perk point per four levels).
- Required that you had to download different variants on the NexusMods website.

Tried this recently as I was bored with the long wait until you level up at higher levels (when no exploits are used). Works like it says on the tin! Great mod IMO, takes the grind out of the game,

Doesn't seem to be working..?

Anyone got this working? I'm on the workshop install.

I got a pop up, I have the illusion spell...tried going in and out of the menu and my install points aren't there.

Tried levelling up and still nothing. And casting the spell removes a soul but doesn't give me a point in return.

Anybody else struggling?

No reason it shouldn't, make sure you have all the requirements!

It doesn't require SkyUI to function, you just won't be able to edit the settings without it
