Been using this for a good while using the FO3 amount of points to choose (40) and has worked perfectly. Might crank it down to maybe 32 or so given Start Me Up with the NV rebalance adds a few more traits to add another further 2 points stop that.
But does work flawlessly with various other mods I've got going. Truly belongs on every quality of life modlist, hands down.
It's a "Game Setting" (category in FO4Edit). The EditorID is "uSPECIALPoints". The vanilla value is 28, which is the total number of SPECIAL points you can allocate. This number can be changed to anything you want. However, changing it to anything less than 7 or more than 70 would be pointless and could crash the game.
I know no one's posted on here in a while so fat chance on an answer XD buuut! Using this method could I change it to say 55 (plus the starting 7)? The reason I ask is that my goal for using this mod would be to give myself all 9's to start minus 1 for the You're Special book, so that once I've collected that and all the bobbleheads I'm at a "Nat" 10 (tongue in cheek) in every category, so the increments of 7 won't get me there.
1 Download the mod (manual download). 2 Locate Fallout 4 Folder 3 Locate Data file Inside Fallout Folder 4 Unzip this Mod 5 Open the file you just unzipped, and look for the "0 - Choose One" folder. Select which esp file to use 007,014,etc.(use only one) Note: 07 will only give only 1 point to use for each special while 070 will give enough points to maximize all special abilities to 10 6 Copy the file that you want into the Fallout 4/Data folder 7 Launch Fallout 4 and go to or click on the "Mods" section, you should see the file that was just installed. Click on this to activate it (needs to have a check mark to work). 8 Start a new game (Required). When the Vault Tech Representative shows up, you should now have changed the starting amount of points to your SPECIAL attributes.
Really not sure why everyone is having issues. This is working. Thank you. I like the idea of starting with all my SPECIAL points at 1. Makes for a much harder game.
