Short Summary
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This mod is a streamlined, combat and skill focused, balancing tool. It offers everything you need to get a balanced combat experience and comes with some exclusive features. It is as compatible as you can get, fully customizable and stacks with virtually everything. To make this possible most effects will only apply to the player character not to NPCs.

Things you can adjust:
General Balance: Damage dealt, damage taken, weapon balance, potions & poisons, strength of different enemy types...
Magic Skills: Adjust damage, cost and duration, let them scale with your skill level...
Combat Skills: Damage multipliers, level scaling, power attack multipliers, block efficiency...
Stealth Skills: Ease of sneaking, lockpicking and pickpocketing, strength of shouts, buy and sell prices...
Experience: Overall experience gain, experience gain per skill...
Attributes: Unarmed attacks, falling damage, easier sneaking in dark areas only (darker night mods)...

Installation & Uninstallation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

For installation I recommend ModOrganizer which is just a great tool. However you should have no trouble installing with NMM or manually if desired.

When Updating from a previous version:

- Save your settings if you are using customs
- Disable all Simply Balanced options, or load the default blank state
- Wait a few seconds to make sure everything got processed
- Save game, exit game, install new version (overwrite old version)
- Resume game, load your settings, done


When uninstalling:

You should be able to safely remove Simply Balanced at any time, even mid playthrough and while active. For obvious reasons I advise against it though. The safest would be to do the same as when updating (and ideally create a seperate save), then when exiting the game just remove the files instead of replacing them with a newer version.
