Perks++ is an attempt to fix issues of vanilla perks without reinventing the wheel. Highly compatible. Aimed at people who think that vanilla perks are good enough, but wish certain things were better. Probably not fully balanced, but it's not like vanilla game is balanced either.
Some of the new perks are based on Vokrii. If you want more serious overhaul, I suggest checking it out.
Summary
Details
Detailed description of changes. Use wiki to compare with vanilla perks.
Red colored perks - new perks.
Blue colored perks - perk has been entirely remade.
Green colored perks - minor changes to perk's effect.
White colored perks - changes to perk tree position or requirements.
Alteration
No changes
Conjuration
Buffed Dark Souls perk, since it was not in line with atronach summoning spells.
Destruction
Balanced and reworked final fire/frost/shock perks. Improved Impact and Rune Master perk. Added support for unaspected spells.
Enchanting
Separated Fire/Frost/Shock Enchanter perks, no need to invest into all 3 if you just want Storm perk. Changed level requirements for other perks.
Changed position of Quiet Casting, so there is no need to invest into entirely new perk tree just for one perk. Master of the Mind can be obtained earlier.
Necromage is an ITM to ensure that perk works on the player, as Todd intended. Added new perk to support holy knight themed builds.
I might be biased but I just don't like final perk, so I have changed it. No more changes.
Just perk value change in description, because vanilla description doesn't match actual effect.
Helmet is no longer required for perks to work. Reworked Reflect Blows into new perk since it's extremely weak in vanilla.
Remade Savage Strike perk to support new build types. Added dagger support for Bladesman.
No changes. It's messy perk tree, but any kind of changes can create need of patching. So it will stay vanilla for the time being.
Two handed
Changed Devastating Blows in line with changed One Handed perk. Disabled multi-target attack for Sweep to support Precision. It's a really good mod, at least once you configure hitboxes in MCM.
A little simplified alchemy tree, and a bunch of improvements. Merged Experimenter perks into one.
Similar to heavy armor helmet is no longer needed. Buffed Deft Movement a little.
Only one perk changed, which was OP in vanilla.
No changes.
Sneak
Sneak is weaker at first (10% instead of 20%), but is better later (50% instead of 40%).
Generally the same thing, but perks have been moved around to make more sense. I have divided it into "merchant part" and "speech part".
Compatibility
Minimal amount of new perks means it's highly compatible. New 2 perks are focused on very specific builds, meaning they won't need patching since new NPCs most likely won't ever need these perks.
Patches are needed for:
Confirmed out of the box compatibility with:
Potential plans for the future
Nerfs to light armor - in late game light armor is similar to heavy armor but better, so I think game might benefit from balance changes. I might reduce 25% armor bonus later.
Additional Notes
It's my first perk mod, so some things might not work properly. I did test it so I don't expect it to brick save files, but it's not out of the question that one or two effects might not work as intended. Leave a comment or report a bug if something is not working as expected.
Forgive me horrible formatting of the description. Nexusmods text editor randomly changes things on its own, or doesn't save changes at all, so it will stay the way it is.
