Description
I'm not sure why a mod like this hasn't been made yet, but here it is - Intelligence implant is now retroactive. So, once you buy the implant from Dr. Usanagi, all the skill points that you would have received if you purchased it on level 1 will be refunded via the usual level-up screen. You can then spend them however you want.
This means that you no longer have to worry about lost points and make the 'immersion' breaking run from Goodsprings straight to the medical clinic just to get that final 10th Intelligence point. Power gamers can finally rejoice (hooray!).
More details
Things like Educated, Intense Training, and the bonus point you get for beating Lonesome Road are all taken into account. Unfortunately, as a result, starting a new game is absolutely a must, because the mod needs to keep track of the exact levels when all those perks and stat boosts were acquired.
For all the tinfoil hat wearers like myself that feel somewhat sceptical about the maths used in this mod, a skill point calculator (an excel spreadsheet) is provided as an optional download. The spreadsheet is quite flexible and allows you to configure things like: Intense Training levels, Educated level, when the implant is bought, etc.

Show
Level 30 and 50 versions are available as well. (dark theme not included)
Installation
The following mods are required:
- xNVSE version 6.3.3 or later
- JIP LN NVSE Plugin version 57.21 or later
- JohnnyGuitar NVSE version 4.96 or later
- ShowOff xNVSE Plugin version 1.75 or later
- Improved Console (NVSE) version 3.0 or later (optional)
Like I said, starting a new game is required (or, at the very least, being level 1), otherwise you should use something like Complete Respec instead.
Since the mod is ESPless, your load order doesn't matter. After you get the implant, the mod's script will be stopped the next time you load the game.
Compatibility
Resetting your character to level 1 via the aforementioned Complete Respec mod might cause some problems. Theoretically it should be fine, but as I haven't properly tested it, I advise you not to respec before buying the implant (just in case).
Editing Intelligence through console commands is obviously not recommended. I mean, if you edit your stats with the console, you don't really need this mod anyway.
