ShalabiRogue Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 I had an idea of getting skill ups only using trainers and disabling the automatic skill ups from use. It would be like the Enderal book system just without the books. I am posting here to see if anyone has done this before or if anyone has any suggestions. I noticed a mod that kind of does this but it was from 2012 and no longer supported. I think maybe I could do this with current tools. Maybe just skytweak, and uncapper ini, and a mod to boost trainers abilities? Things to consider are prices to train, trainer's skill level, trainer npc's essential flags, training per level, and prices. I appreciate any input on potential problems or advice on the best way to do this. Thanks!
Elias555 Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 I play like this when I know the character is going to be rich. I use SkyTweak and mods that adds master trainers. You don't really need anything to boost the trainers, level 90 is high enough for me but I do set my experience to 0.5 or so depending on the skill and it levels up very slowly. I thought about making this a mod but I'd prefer the custom touch I can add using SkyTweak. It's very easy to make a mod that sets skill levelling to 0 or 0.5, even with little knowledge of the CK. As for the books, there's a mod that doesn't auto add the skill but instead has a pop up allowing you to choose.http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/16463/?Prices can be lowered in SkyTweak under vendors so the most you'll pay is 890 coins to go from 89-90..I think.
ShalabiRogue Posted October 13, 2016 Author Posted October 13, 2016 I have been going through skytweak and setting things up. It seems I can pretty much do everything I need to with it! My idea really isn't to make leveling up cheap and easy but the opposite. I am going to try to balance my gold and prices so that training will be expensive enough that I have to do a few quests and dungeon delving to get enough gold to level up the skills I want to focus on. The skill level ups from books I think will just be icing on the cake and doesn't really bother me. If my mage gets one free point in pick pocketing from a book, so be it. I did notice a warning in the uncapper ini that lowering the skill gain to low can cause crashes. Did you ever experience crashes after tweaking the skill gain in skytweak?
Elias555 Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 I have never had SkyTweak related crashes on vanilla skills. The only time I have is when I had an athletics and unarmoured mods that have a different methods of keeping track of the skills they over wright. eg, one over writes destruction, I set destruction to a low amount like 0.5. I started getting crashes and the log stated it was the new skill mods. I have been using those mods for ages with no major problems until I set the amount it levelled up to very low. I don't use the uncapper so I can't answer that part.
lofgren Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 You might be interested in my mod, which can do what you request but also has other options if you are so inclined. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/56457
ShalabiRogue Posted October 13, 2016 Author Posted October 13, 2016 lofgen, your mod has some nice options. Having quest markers for trainers will definitely help! I will give it a try.
