About this mod

This mod changes the Broken Steel perk Almost Perfect so that if you have found a Bobblehead that raised your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Stats the perk will set that skill to 10 Instead of 9.

Permissions and credits
Requires Broken Steel


WARNING: Perks don't update or refresh after they have been changed with a mod, so if you have found some SPECIAL Bobbleheads and THEN took the Almost Perfect perk it will not update your stats that should have been 10 with the mod (This only applies to those that found 1 or more Bobbleheads and then took the Perk and installed the mod after that). With version 1.1 of the mod you can fix this by typing "player.setqueststage dcl03creatorquest 70" without the quotes.

If that doesn't work you can try "player.setqueststage XX000801 70" without the quotes. For XX you would need to know the order you load Broken Steel, if it is 4th on the list that would make the base id 03000801 etc. You can get this code from FOMM under the Mod Index.

Thanks to KSRExdeath for helping me to figure out this problem and helping to find an alternate code to enter in the console if the first doesn't work.

I tested this workaround and it worked but while it SHOULDN'T affect the other Broken Steel Perks I did not test its effect on them (if any). Please report any problems.


-Almost Perfect Anytime Bobbleheads changes the Broken Steel perk Almost Perfect so that if you have found a Bobblehead that raised your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Stats the perk will set that skill to 10 Instead of 9.

This way you do not have to wait until you take the perk to get a Bobblehead just to get all 10's (As some people were doing). Now you can get the Bobbleheads at anytime and when you take the perk at level 30 it will instead set the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Stat to 10 (Only if you found the bobble head of course).

NOTE: I left the original files because they are a cleaner version for anyone who doesn't need the fix (Anyone who hasn't taken Almost Perfect yet in their save game should get 1.0 but it shouldn't matter much which version you use)


-Perfectly SPECIAL changes the Broken Steel perk Almost Perfect into a new perk named Perfectly SPECIAL which simply raises your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Stats to 10 Instead of 9.

This can be done via the console at any time with ease (player.modav <stat> 10) but it might be fun to have in perk form instead...<br><br>NOTE: This mod will also not update you stats to 10 if you took the previous Almost Perfect Perk that gave you 9, there is currently no workaround for this other than using the console to player.modav strength 1 (and so on with all the SPECIAL skills)<br><br><br>Install:<br>1) Unzip the .esp file to Fallout 3\Data folder<br>2) Make sure Broken Steel is in the Fallout 3\Data folder<br>3) Start Fallout 3 Launcher, click 'Data Files', or Start FOMM and place a checkmark beside the .esp file (and Broken Steel if not already done).<br><br><br>Uninstall:<br>1) Uncheck the .esp file.<br>2) Delete the .esp file from your Fallout 3\Data folder<br><br><br>There is also an optional download that reduces the level requirement of the perk to level 2 (Can be taken straight out of Vault 101) this is to go with my "No Perk Requirements" Mod. If you use that one then just load this one Lower on the FOMM list than the Perks No Skill or Level.esp to make use of this Mod.</stat>
