Here’s a mod that will allow you to craft perk-granting magazines at a Chemist’s Table so that you can obtain Skill Perks without spending Perk Points. This is a CHEAT version in which all magazines are free and doesn’t have any requirement to craft or read.
This version is designed for maximum compability, so it only cover the VANILLA range of Skill Perks, without any of the ADDON DLCS perks. Should you want DLCs perks, look for the named versions that have [DLCs] in front.
If you’re looking for a less cheaty version, the REGULAR version of this mod requires 100 units of pre-war money for each magazine and have the proper level and stat requirement and thus will last you thorough your complete gameplay. There is also a DELEVELED that is practically the same as above, but without level requirements.
PLEASE READ THIS:
There are minimal restrictions to this mod, please PLAN AHEAD by examining your current perks on the PERK WALL before crafting a perkmag. The mod doesn’t prevent you from crafting perkmags for perks that you already have. It is also EXTREMELY RECOMMENDED to read the books in order so that each perk does everything intended and also to avoid potential errors.
There is a very basic detection to avoid you from crafting the same magazine twice, but adding detection of your current perks will mess up the sorting in the Crafting Menu. I decided to favor ease of use over error prevention here.
There is no fancy text message or sound effect when you read the perkmags, it’s active as soon as the magazine slide into view mode. Exit and check your Perk Wall to confirm the gain of your perk. You may discard the magazine somewhere afterwards.
The perks you obtain are PERMANENT and while the mags will disappear when you turn off the mod, the perks will remain.
FEEDBACK
This is version 1.0 and thus might have issues or bugs. Please report non-working mags as I had to manually map each of them, and could have made an error. Leave comments and I’ll reply to questions as soon as I can.
