What is this mod?
Here is finally a mod  (an .esp file) that makes your character start with all skills at level 1 - All bonuses from your selected Race will still apply on top. This mod is ideal for a more challenging play-through for hardcore adventurers as it makes starting levels more challenging and enhances the importance of your race's starting skills. 
I created this mod because I was very annoyed that all your skills always start at level 15 - it is not very challenging and I was looking for a mod that can do this but all I found here in nexus were a couple of batch files. 

It makes better sense that a level 1 character would have
level 1 skills (and not level 15)!

Load Order:
Place below any mod that affects the "Player" starting status


**This mod will affect your stats when you use the console command "showracemenu" as that command automatically resets all your stats to their starting levels.


FAQ

Will it affect my existing character save at level xx?
- NO, It will only affect a new character build OR when you use the "showracemenu"  console command

Does this mod adjust levelling, difficulty, skill scaling, etc.?
- NO. The mod is plain and simple - it makes you start with all skills at level 1. No other adjustments were done (I leave those for other mods)

Will it affect NPCs?
- NO. Although NPCs are not affected, encounters with them in general will be a lot more difficult and challenging in your early levels since all your starting skills are nerfed.

Is it compatible with (put_mod_name_here) mod?
- Yes, this is compatible with majority of mods as long as you place it in the lower load order, especially against mods that affect player startng status
