background [MOD IDEA] A New Updated Customizable Background Proficiencies Mod (Only one as of now doesn't work & dev hasn't been online in 3 months)

[XGAMER2mil]

This Custom Background Skill Profs mod by mapow27 has been left dormant for 3 months. Unless the dev said they'll be back soon or something, this mod is currently abandoned & doesn't work as intended; at least on the main version of the mod which I want to use. The mod takes your skill profs & doesn't let you add the new ones. I am unsure how to fix this, I have all the requirements, I asked the dev, I got nothing back. And I REFUSE to play without that mod bc I am trying to play BG3 as close to 5e as possible & that mod is essential to replicating my characters to BG3 perfectly.

So desperate times call for desperate measures. I want a mod that IMPROVES upon what this one does. Will have to be from the ground up tho bc the dev of that mod only allows modding of his mod if you ask for permission first... which doesn't help.

 One major change I'd make is to put choosing your skills either under where your default skills would show on a background or in it's own column where you would choose your race & class skills. The mod put the skill choice under race skills which I think was causing issues. I'd, of course, like compatibility for any modded in or changed backgrounds, & compatibility with any mods that add new races.

It's either this or someone who knows the ins & outs of the original mod explains to me how I can fix my issues with it.

Thank you
