About this mod
Simple .bat file setting all skills levels to 0.
Also includes specific races files slightly lowering their specific skills and setting all others skills to 0.
- Permissions and credits
I was looking for a way to set all skills to 0 and after analyzing / testing this .txt file Roleplaying and Harder Start - Skills to Level 1 , I decided to improve it my own way.
What has been improved.
On his .txt file, only the skill level gets changed, but doing this doesn't properly set the XP needed to level up.
(Example: If you normally need 1000 XP to get your skill from 20 to 21 and only set your skill to level 1, you would still need 1000 XP to get it level 2 before the game recalculate the XP needed)
This version adds some lines in order to more properly set the needed XP setting them twice at level 0, while doing a forced level up in-between.
What does it change compared to a normal start?
Starting skills will be weaker (you can truely have no skill in some domains), enemy scaling will make the game a bit harder in the start / middle progression of the game since you'll both level up faster at the beginning and you'll start with lower damage / higher magicka spell cost.
Versions.
There are 3 file type:
ResetSkill0:
<Race> are: HighElf, Argonian, WoodElf, Breton, DarkElf, Imperial, Khajiit, Nord, Orc, Redguard.
Install / Uninstall / Compatibility.
To install and use, simply copy the file you want to use into the skyrim/data folder, launch the game, open the console using the [²], [~] or [¬] Key depending on your keyboard and write: bat "name of file" (example: bat ResetArgonian).
This can be used at any point in the game, but is totally intended to be used when making a brand new character.
You have to wait for control over your character before entering the command, otherwise you will get your default stats back.
To uninstall, simply delete the corresponding .txt file from your Skyrim/data folder. (effects on your character can obviously not be reverted)
Since this uses basic console commands and only modifies default character stats, this should have a 100% compatibility with every mods (The only thing I can think of would be an unpredictable result with mods changing the XP formula itself, I haven't tested those so I cannot tell)
Nothing other than Skyrim itself required.
Creditz.
Credits goes to XenonsSpork for the original idea.
PS: English is not my 1st language so forgive me for the mistakes :)
PPS: My future self corrected a lot of those and also made the entire description more visualy pleasing! (even if this mod went mostly under the radar, who cares!)

There are 3 file type:
ResetSkill0:
- Sets Player level to 0
- Sets all skills to 0
- Sets player XP to 18/75 (this is unavoidable to my knowledge through this method, since I am leveling up every skill once to properly set their XP progress)
- Set Player level to 1
- Sets all skills to 0
- Sets player XP to 0.
- Sets Health stat down to 90 and gives one skill point. (This is done to not give a free stat point out of the XP setting method, I chose the health stat as this would be the most impactful one to modify so the player would put it back up instantly to 100 but you are of course free to put it in Stamina or Magicka instead; the free skill point is on purpose, this is ment to be the slightly easier version)
- Set Player level to 1
- Sets main skill down to 18 (instead of 25)
- Sets secondary skills down to 9 (instead of 20)
- Sets all other skills to 0
- Sets Health stat down to 90 and gives one skill point. (read above for the reason of the health modification)
