Name: ASAP (Aellis' Simplified Automatic Perks)
Version: 4.2
Date: 08/10/13
Category: Skills and Leveling
Author: Aellis

Requires Skyrim 1.8.151

Description
===========

This mod adds perks to skills as you reach the skill level required for the perk.
You have option of choosing a Character Class with preset skills, choosing your own skills, or choosing all skills.

In the future, pending SKSE commands, other enhancements may be added.

This mod does not require any other mods to work, including SKSE. (Though it is compatible with SKSE and Skyrim -Community- Uncapper.)

When you load this mod for the first time on an exsiting save, a ring and a book will be added to your inventory.
Read the book for some additional information on Character Classes. Equip the ring to install, remove, or reset ASAP.

If you start a new game with this mod loaded, you will be given a couple of additional choices to configure your skills in addition to
the normal options.

Current features - In Progress Game:
Option to install, remove, reset, or check current settings of ASAP without using the console.
Option to choose a Character Class, a Preset Character Class, or 6 of your own choices to manage.

Current features - New Game:
Option to install, remove, reset, or check current settings of ASAP without using the console.
Option to choose a Character Class, a Preset Character Class, or 6 of your own choices to manage.
Option to set all skills to 5 or leave at default.
If skills changed to 5, an option to add addtional skill levels for Racial skill traits (vanilla settings).
If skills changed to 5, an option to add addtional skill levels for Class skills (not available when choosing to monitor all skills).
Option to reverse skill level adjustments on proper removal of ASAP.


Detailed info
=============
If this mod is loaded and you start a new game, immediately after you select your player's race, an ASAP menu will appear to allow you to
configure ASAP more to your preference.

You may choose to start with all skills at level 1 or at level 5. (Vanilla Skyrim is 15 + skill level bonus detailed in the Race Skills.)
If you do, you may also choose to add skill bonuses based upon your selected race. Five skills will be increased by 5 and one skill by 10
based on the vanilla race skill profiles. If you choose to use the default Skyrim skill levels, no additional skill bonuses will be added
unless you choose to add the Character Class bonuses.

You may choose to use a preset Character Class, you may choose to create an Adventurer Class, or you may choose to adjust all skill perks.
Each class consists of six skills as defined by previous TES Lore (Matched as close as practical to Skyrim skills). If you choose a class,
ONLY those six skills will get the perk adjustments. You may choose to add class bonuses to the six skills (currently these bonuses are
skill levels. Choose one of the six to be your "major" skill. This skill gets an additional 5 skill levels.

You can now choose to "Reset" ASAP by equipping the ASAP Ring. This will remove all the changes made by ASAP and allow you to reset your
selections.

Incompatibilities / Known Issues
================================
This mod uses SetActorValue to adjust skill levels initially. You may find it taking longer than expected to increase an adjusted skill.
Setting skill levels and race bonus options will only work with the 10 default vanilla races.
Setting skill levels and race bonus options will not work with mods that change the quest stages of the main quest before stage 90.
If you use a mod that adds a race and you select that race, you will not have the start game options.
If you choose to leave skills at default Skyrim values, the racial skill bonus is skipped.

If removing ASAP, you have the option to reverse the adjustments to the default skill levels (if orginally selected on a new game start).
Depending on the choices you made then, skills will increase in a range from 5 to 24 levels. THIS IS NOT A BUG! Since ALL levels can be
adjusted in the new game options, ALL skills would increase on removal of ASAP.
The formula to set skills to 1 or 5: SkillLevel = Player.GetAV(Skill) , SavedSkillDifference = SkillLevel - X, Player.SetAV(Skill, X).
The formula to restore values: SkillLevel = Player.GetAV(Skill) , SkillLevel = SkillLevel + SavedSkillDifference, Player.SetAV(Skill, SkillLevel).

This mod is not compatible with any mod that alters the vanilla names of perks.
This mod is not compatible with any mod that alters the skill level conditions for perks.
This mod is not compatible with any mod that alters the perk trees (though there are some changes that could be made without affecting the vanilla settings that ASAP works with).

Until and if the SKSE team provides new scripting commands to change / stop / add Perk points, perks points are still awarded on level up.
If you choose to use Class options, you can still use the perk points awarded on skills not adjusted by ASAP. These point uses are permanent
and will not be changed by ASAP.
You can disable perk points if you use the Elys Uncapper, but those points are lost and you cannot get them back if you unistall this mod.
Scripts, script variables, and objects that are persistant in a saved game are permanent. Once this mod is removed, EVERY time you load a
save that had this mod active at some point, a notation will get written to the papyrus log that some ASAP object or variable "is not found
and will be skipped". This is not a bug with the mod.
