14 Starting SPECIAL?

[sen4mi]

I somehow have only 14 assignable starting SPECIAL points. I am trying to figure out how to have that be 21.

 

I do not know the keyword to look for in scripts. I do not know which mod I have installed which would be doing that. I guess I can spend a few days uninstalling various mods to isolate the offender, but... does anyone know off hand any likely culprits?

Most Mods that reduce Perkpoints just change the setting. I would check that first.

Open Fallout4 with all your other mods in FO4Edit. Look under Game Settings, there is uSpecialPoints:

 

and on the right side you will see the original value and the value of the mod, which changed it:

 

You can either change the value of the mod itself back to 28 or make a patch with a new esp which loads after it, if you prefer that. Please note, that you have to enter 28 to get 21 spendable points.

 

If a mod reduced the points by a script instead, you will have a hard time finding it. Especially if the mod didnt ship with source files. Then you could just give yourself the missing perkpoints by console. I found this one: CGF "Game.AddPerkPoints" 7

Perfect, thank you.

 

This was exactly what I was looking for.
