Nether's JumpStart
🕑 Added 2021-07-17 02:37:41 +0000 UTCThis is a small, quality of life mod but it's one I personally use in every playthrough.
This mod allows you to start at a level higher than 1 (around 5, 10 or 15) by actually leveling your character. You can set up 3 primary focuses for skills and start with higher than normal wealth, if you wish.
REQUIRED -----
You will need SKSE64 (for SSE) or SKSE (for LE)
This is an All-In-One Installer for SSE and LE. SSE version is ESL flagged.
How to Use -----
Upon entering the game, you are given a book, The Story of My Life.
Reading the book allows you to:
-- Start at one of three level ranges: 4-6, 9-11 or 14-16. You will land somewhere in these but it isn't exact. This is because the mod actually levels up your character and if you pick base skills (read more below) that are strong for your race, then you will land near the higher end.
-- Pick three skills as your character's core strengths to flesh out whatever backstory you have in mind for them. Whichever 3 you pick, more points will be assigned to those in order to level you up. However, you will randomly get points across skills you didn't pick because naturally, you'd have points here or there from doing things.
-- Pick your starting wealth boost. You can pick some different weights here or start with no extra gold. Extra gold is equal to 175 per every two levels x1, x2 or x6 (no extra if you don't want it).
Once you've done this, you are leveled. From this point you need to go into your attributes (like you are leveling up normally) and spend Health/Magicka/Stamina for each level. Following this, you can assign perk points.
NOTE -----
You must read the book BEFORE progressing to level TWO or it simply won't do anything by reading it. You should have ample time to do this after creating your character.
ISSUES -----
No real issues. Your character is leveled naturally, by giving you points as if you were doing things in game. There is no direct edits to the character's stats.
The only issue is that since you are actually being levelled multiple times in one shot, the leveling-up music will play for a good bit (but this is harmless).
I'm pre-releasing it to ALL Patreons first, a few weeks before it goes live (I have no hard set date). I ask that you keep this for yourself as your personal gift as a patreon of Nether's Modding Mayhem.

thanks for simplifying what I have been trying to do for years. :) For many of us who have been playing since the game's inception, we don't really need the "grind" anymore. I actually "tailor" the wabbajack mod lists of late and use many of the commands like addperk, advskill, modav carryweight,......... total cheat, I know but when I'm done, i love to start around level 60 with health, stamina, magicka and all perks in tree balanced as though I had started at level 60. then every npc is leveled up too.......... and with NFF, all followers can be leveled up properly too.............. end result....... no grind and you start with a powerful character as you start the storyline, with all the good loot and perk benefits at the start. To circle back, I see this mod doing just that. Thank you Nether!
