MoistTypewriter Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I've been getting back into playing around with Skyrim mods and I was curious about combining a couple skills and repurposing the freed up skill, which I know a few mods have achieved (such as PerMa). I dug into the old Merged Thievery Skill mod for Oldrim to see how he did it, and I found the method a bit... lacking. The mod was fine for the most part, but here's the Jank: The author could not keep the freed-up skill (previously Lockpicking) from applying an inherent bonus to picking locks, based on skill level. So instead he attached a perk to the player that added a penalty to Lockpicking that scaled with the skill level to cancel out the inherent benefit of the skill. You can scan the comments of that mod to see how poorly this worked out (his method was to reduce the sweetspot by 1% per rank, which I'm guessing is not the correct formula the game uses, and often resulted in unpickable locks). In my extended absence, has the community found a way to directly access these skill hooks (probably with SKSE)? As a concrete example of what I'm after: the armor bonus from worn light armor is increased by 40% of your Light Armor skill. Has anyone found a way to manipulate this value?
