Why are there no real level cap increasers?

[Vitz]

Okay, so I'm not a modder; so this could potentially be a stupid question, but why is there still no real mod to increase the level cap? So far there are only these mods that make you go over 30 in theory, but it doesn't really work that well as it's almost like a ''fake'' level up. The GUI doesn't get updated and such.

 

So why haven't there been modders who were successful in creating something that works like the level cap increaser found in Broken Steel? Is it hardcoded and can't be altered unless you're Bethesda or something? A cap of 30 simply doesn't cut it.

[WastelandAssassin]

actually, there are such mods

Max Level 99 is a mod that does such a thing, at least i don't think it is a work-around.....

That one crashes past level 20 (or 30 with Broken Steel) if you have an evil character though.

[WastelandAssassin]

really?

never happened to me (though i don't play evil)

i don't think it's just this mod, it must be a conflict

can you post your load order, so that i can try and help you find the cause of the problem?

because it has to be a conflict with some other mod

[Vitz]

Nah it's not a conflict. Read the comments for that particular mod. It appears to be a problem when changing the parameter concerning the level cap. Simply changing that from 30 to whatever seems to work but causes this crash.

[WastelandAssassin]

oh, ok

i guess i really didn't read the comments..... :sweat:

well, i guess this is the best you can get.... at least the best i have been able to find

but i think that with FWE's harder leveling, and a 'two perks per level' mod, level 30 is more than enough

haven't tried both togather, but i hope it will be fun and working :tongue:

With that mod, on a good profile, if you have everything maxed- does it simply sit there?

 

 

I screwed around with console commands, maxxed my stats and leveled up but couldnt do anything because I NEED to distribute stats.

[WastelandAssassin]

if you get to that point, you can always use a mod that increases the max amount of stat points

there is one that changes it to 250 (or so i think)

the big problem with it, is finding what you need to change in the .ini to actually see the numbers after 100

i knew how to do it, but i can't seem to recall where i have read about it.....

Look up the Wasteland Mastery mod, it gives you bonuses for going over 100 with skills, and in the descrip there are links to two complimentary mods that increase level cap to 100 and also allow you to spend points past 100 (the second one is an absolutely needed one). Have a good one. :)
