About this mod
This mod allows you, when levelling up, to "save" a perk for later. Useful for delaying levelling, or if waiting for perks that you will only meet the requirements for in the future. On any level-up, you can select a perk called <choose later>. This adds an aid item to your inventory that you can use at will to select a new perk.

CREDITS
- Normally, on levelling up, you are forced to choose a perk. Because you do not have any agency over WHEN to level up, once you've gained enough experience, you do not get to choose WHEN to take a perk, AND you are forced to choose perks that you currently meet the requirements for.
- This mod adds a new perk called <Choose Later>. When you take this perk, it will add an aid item to your inventory. When you are ready, you can use this aid item to select a perk, at any time of your choosing.
- If you use the item, and decide you wish to delay taking a perk, you can immediately select the <choose later> perk>, to safely store the item away until needed.
- The perk adds the aid item to your inventory, and immediately removes itself. You can therefore take the <Choose Later> perk as many times as you wish - you're welcome to hoard them all until max level if you wish! The choice is yours.
- This mod does not use chargen mode like some other mods that achieve the same result, so it should be very safe to use. It only uses the "ShowPerkMenu" function from ShowoffNVSE.
- This mod does NOT affect the number of perks you get on normal level up. That's set to whatever the default is - for example, in New Vegas, it's a perk every two levels, and for TTW 3.3+, it's either a perk every level (non-hardcore) or a perk every two levels (hardcore, i.e. same as default new vegas)
- IMPORTANT: You MUST use LStewieAl's Tweaks with the following tweak enabled:
bPreviewPerksOnLevelUp= 1 Otherwise, if you use the aid item while you are at a level where you couldn't normally select a perk, it will disappear and you will lose the perk! You have been warned! - If you are using a mod like LStewieAl's Tweaks (or others) to increase the number of Perks that you can take when the perk screen is shown, using the
iPerksPerLevelsetting, Then this mod will still work, but you can only take the <choose later> perk ONCE every time the perk selection screen is shown. That means if you have it set to give you 2 perks every level, you WILL be forced to take one perk other than <choose later>. This is not a bug, this is due to the way LStewieAl's tweaks handle the perk screen. I have written to him asking him to change the implementation, but this is beyond the scope of this mod. - This mod is experimental, but I think safe. there are no persistent scripts, no continuous quests. Please report any issues you find on the "Bugs" tab or in the comments
INSTALLATION
- Install LStewieAl's Tweaks and ensure bPreviewPerksOnLevelUp= 1 is set. IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS, YOU MAY LOSE PERKS!
- Install this mod as usual with MO2 or Vortex.
- Manual installation is...c'mon people, it's 2022. Just get a damn mod manager.
- Load order - can go anywhere. No vanilla records are overwritten.
- Uninstallation midway through your game is NOT supported, this mod contains (very lightweight) scripts. If you uninstall mid-game and complain about it breaking your save, I will laugh at your plight, and use your saltiness to season my french fries.
CREDITS
- Demorome for Showoff NVSE, without which the implementation would have been considerably less straightforward.
- Uoud/Xodarap for the Practice Makes Perfect patch of Two Perks Per Level - Perk Every Level - More Perks. This is where I got the idea of the mod from.
