Want just some of the Perks?
This is a continuation of my previous mod, Creative Perks. I am splitting them to provide a more stable overhaul experience. Creative Perks allows you to select only what you want from the mod, which can sometimes cause unexpected results due to effects being moved around the sheet. These effects can end up stacking or breaking each other. If you prefer a more customizable version, you can still use Creative Perks. However, it will no longer receive updates and remains in an older version.

Incompatibilities:
This mod os pretty much compatible with anything, the only problem is if you have another mod that also modify the same perks, if that comes to happen, the last installed mod will prevail. This may break some perks, so, only do it if both mods don't touch the same perks, or if you know what you're doing.

FAQ:
Q: Is it compatible with LevelUpMenuEx ?
A: Yes.

Q: Is it compatible with Be Exceptional ?
A: Yes, but you'll have to install Creative Perks after Be Exceptional. (Keep it on a higher priority on the load list).
Bare in mind that Be Exeptional is not a mod friendly to mid-playthrough installation, or uninstallation.

Q: Is it compatible with Idiot Savant to Idiot Slut ?
A: Yes, just install it AFTER Creative Perks overhaul.

Q: Is it compatible with Critical Hits Outside of VATS ?
A: Creative Perks does the same thing as Critical Hits Outside of VATS, but it will require you to pick the perk "Classic Criticals"(old Bloody Mess). If you still want to use Critical Hits Outside of VATS, than you should avoid picking the "Classic Criticals" perk, or your critical chance will be twice as high.

Q: is it safe to install mid-playthrough ?
A: Yes, it's safe to install on your mid-playthrough. 

Q: is it safe to uninstall mid-playthrough ?
A: Not so much. It wont break your game on anything, but you may get some lingering effects, like increased jump height. The safest way is to remove all perks before uninstalling. I recommend this mod to remove all at once.

Q:  Is it possible to become immune to damage if I stack up to 100%+ damage reduction?
A: No, it can never make you totally immune. For instance, 2 perks that gives you 50% damage reduction, will just multiply incoming damage by 0.5 then by 0.5 again, which is the same as multiply by 0.25
