set npc's level ?

[jaarg]

Hello there, re-playing SKyrim because liked it a lot, but just find that has a lot of boredom stuff ( stealth since at high levels its a joke ) so after some mods installed there is still something that couldnt find, a mod or way to let "X" npc have desired level, to let powerful monster be powerful. If is not a clear post, some ppl recomended me Requiem mod, I dont agree with his monster level. Also tought on set all skills to 100 and player level to 30-35 to make game not imposible vs high lvl and not easy at level 50. Any help

Not sure, but I don't think there's an easy way to set the level of a NPC in game via script functions. (I could be wrong)

 

For me I wanted my followers to level up with me as I level (not what your after, you want the opposite almost)

The only way I could make the npc level with me when their base actor is flagged in CK as a certain level and not to level with player then I had to resort to a third party console plugin so i could call the the console version of SetLevel A B C D via script (there's no papyrus equivalent for NPC).

So this may be why most mods don't offer you to hard set the level of the NPC to X level.

 

ConsolePlugin_3 is not hosted here on nexus as far as I'm aware (not actually checked).

Older versions of PapyrusUtil (pre v2.8 ) also had similar console functionality to call caonsole commands from scripts which meant you could call SetLevel A B C D from scripts.

But newer versions of PapyrusUtil have had the console functions removed.

 

You use to be able to set NPC levels by using the Actor Values XXXXXXSkillAdvance which in turn would level your NPC to a level as the Skill XP inceases.

But patch 1.9 made it redundant and the XXXXXXSkillAdvance no longer works.

 

There is an AdvanceSkill function in papyrus is only for PC and not NPC.

Also there is a SetPlayerLevel added by SKSE (1.7.2 onwards), but once again only for PC and not NPC.

 

If your not shy of a console command to do the job as you want it when needed then...

 

Open notepad and paste this in it:

setlevel 1000 -10 1 0

Save it as lev.txt in your skyrim directory.

Then when in game and you want a follower to be reduced in comparison to your level;

Open the console and click the follower and type

bat lev

and hit enter and close the console.

(Only needs to be done once per follower)

 

The above would make it so your follower would level with you, but always be 10 levels below you.

You could set that 1 simple line to whatever you like that suites your play style.

 

Check here for what those 4 SetLevel values mean and do:

Basically in my own follower mod I use a dialogue or mcm or input text option to adjust the NPC level which basically uses the console version of SetLevel via console plugin.

This way the user does't need to use the console.

Default I have the option as level with player (Setlevel 1000 0 1 0), but let the user overide it if they want.

Immersive creatures mod has an MCM menu that allows you to set up how strong those new creatures are, granted most enemies are still vanilla but sometimes I get an enemy that can still kill me in a few hits. (though I play as mage with robes, so no armor there.)

OK, 1st all, THANK YOU, fast and informatives answers, so I did kinda both. That mod is nice and also fixed lot of stuff with console. This is what I did : put all skills to 100 ( skills no perks ) that way I wont level up on vanilla way, seted my level to 20 ( not sure what quest I am missing except boethiah ) and added weapons damage mod

 

If someone still reads this, is there any way to modify all shields and make them 100% damage block ? I am using pc, have skse and creation kit but couldn't find that stat ( if there is the stat )
