For anyone who has the combined mod (or just hacking version) and still has VANS at level 1 that gives 2 perception, the fix is pretty simple. The issue is Nuka World added a new rank to VANS.
First grab FO4Edit(https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2737/). Open that up. Make sure none of the ESPs/ESMs are checked except for Fallout4.esm, DLCNukaWorld.esm, and EssentialPerksCombined.esp (or HackingisEssential.esp). Click OK.
Expand the EssentialPerksCombined.esp/HackingisEssential.esp. Expand the perk tree under that. Click the VANS entry and delete it.
Next expand DLCNukaWorld.esm. Then the Perk tree under that(might have to scroll down a little bit). Near the top you should see the VANs perk again. Right click it>Copy as override into...>check EssentialPerksCombined.esp/HackingisEssential.esp. Click OK. It'll give you a warning saying the mod will need to add DLCNukaWorld.esm to its masters. Click yes.
Next do the same with DLC04_VANS02. It should be near the middle of DLCNukaWorld's perk tree.
Go back to the mod's perk tree. You might need to minimize and expand the mod's perk tree again to see the newly add VANS and DLC04_VANS02 entries. Go to the VANS entry and look for the "Comparison Value - Float" row. It should be under Conditions>Condition>CTDA-. Current value should be 1.000000. Rightclick the one in the mod's column>edit>set it to 4.000000. Do the same for DLC04_VANS02.
Next just exit out of FO4Edit. A new "Save changed files" window should pop up with only the mod's .esp. Make sure it's checked then click OK.
Next check the in game perk tree, and everything should be fine!
Thank you so much! I had this mod running before I had the DLCs and it broke when I downloaded them, I'm so glad to see this fix that I couldn't find the issue with!
It\s been 2 years so you might not see this, but I don't have experience modding and I'm curious about what changing the comparison value to 4.0 does? Is it something you can (and have the time) to explain to me? I have experience in general with coding but I've never done any modding myself.
Hi! Not sure if it's an issue with another mod, but the HackingEssential mod does swap out V.A.N.S, but instead of the Hacking perk, it swaps in a bugged perk called V.A.N.S, it has an incomplete icon of Perception, the effect is "+2 to Perception" and the requirement is LV36. Hacking perk is nowhere to be found.
I tried with both the 3-in-1 v2 mod, as well as the individual HackingEssential mod. Both have this bug. However, LocalLeader and Lockpicking both work (as individual mods and in the 3-in-1)
None of my other mods modify perks or perks tree, and it's a recently started new game with all my mods enabled.
Thank you so much for this mod. These three perks I find are essential to a fun play thru and having them all so far down the lines was horrible. Now that they are at the top, second from the top for Local Leader, I can now fully enjoy my play thrus. You are awesome.

One thing you should note for prospective users, the perks taken remain taken after uninstalling this mod. Very useful.

Anyone else encounter this?
Super happy!
