Sorry for the trouble, and for taking so long to respond. I swear I fixed the problems with smithing before, but it looks like I didn't. Accidentally forgot the S at the end of advancedarmors.txt and confused "dragonsmithing" with "dragonarmor".
As for your trouble, there is no vanilla perk named "basic smithing". I looked around and I assume you're using a mod called "craftable". It looks like it renamed "Steel Smithing" to "Basic Smithing". So if you want this to work with that, here's what you do.
Open your skyrim folder, find "steelsmithing.txt" and rename it to "basicsmithing.txt". This isn't actually necessary since you could just use the "bat steelsmithing" command, but changing it to reflect the mod change should make it less confusing for you.
Forgive me if im wrong here; I know very little about mods but I was using yours and noticed that "basic smithing" wasnt included. All the other perks worked fine, but basic smithing kept telling me it couldnt be found or saved.
Unfortunately that would require doubling the amount of text files. Each .txt is basically just a player.addperk ID line.
As you said, you can do a player.removeperk ID to get rid of just the one perk. You can open up the .txt file in the Skyrim folder to find out it's ID, or I think you can type help "perk name" 0 into the console and it'll bring up the perk ID.
Is it possible to remove just a single perk without having to respec everything? I know you can do player.removeperk ID , but is it possible with your files as well?
Yeah it'd make the mod so much neater if we had a command to add perks. I could get rid of all the text files except the one that removes all perks.
Just in case you were unaware, you can use the console while the perk menu is still open. So you never have to worry about remember the exact name or spelling. I saw someone who had no idea about that so I just thought I'd put it out there.

It, will then run the script line after line until all perks are removed.
