About this mod
ACE is an overhaul of the combat related perk trees. It balances and gives depth to many skill trees. For compatibility it is completely modular; each skill tree can be installed separately.

This is the ported version of ACE - Combat Skills for Skyrim Special Edition.
This is an overhaul of the combat related perk trees (archery, heavy/light armor, enchanting, one/two handed melee, smithing, and speechcraft). These are modular plugins, allowing you to pick and choose which perk trees you want changed.
Brief overview:
ACE - Athyra's Comprehensive Enhancements
ACE is a collection of mods which can be run independently of each other.
ACE aspires to brings more depth and balance Skyrim while maintaining its original feel.
It does so by adding depth to the skill trees and adding new functionality.
Below is a list of each module with an explanation of how it alters Skyrim.
I hope you enjoy ACE! ( In its entirety or in parts :] )

For those who want new long/short bows, which are added by the Archery module, but do not want a new archery perk tree, check out Long N' Short Bows
Most of the popular weapon mods (Weapons of the Third Era SSE, Heavy Armory - New Weapons, and Skyrim SE Expanded Skyrim Weaponry) are compatible with this mod, as they do not add any new bows. Only weapon mods that add new bows will need to be patched when using the Archery module of this mod. If not using the Archery module, then no patches are required for weapon mods.
Patches available on the files page for: More Weapons Please SE, InsanitySorrow Weapons Pack, Lore Weapon Expansion SE, Immersive Armors 8.1, Immersive Weapons, and Beyond Skyrim - Bruma SE
ACE Modules
1. ACE - Archery
What!? Only ONE type of ranged weapon in Skyrim?! Not anymore! Now two different types of bows!
2. ACE - Armor
Heavy and Light are too similar in vanilla. Now there is a much bigger difference between their playing styles.
3. ACE - Enchanting
No more need to self-nerf! The seriously overpowered Enchanting skill tree is reworked. Loopholes plugged!
4. ACE - Magic
Spice up that boring repetitive spellcasting with some Casting Forms!
5. ACE - Melee
Sword&Dagger, Axe, and Mace perks are split up and each given a distinct playing style.
6. ACE - Smithing
Legendary really is legendary! No more super-items or armor-cap-reaching light armor!
7. ACE - Speech
Gold is important again and shopkeepers know it too!
8. ACE - Realistic Fighting
Attack from the back, the side, while running, go for Sure Footing. These factors and more all matter now!
9. ACE - Synergy Bonuses
Synergy Bonuses automatically adds a multitude of bonus effects based on current perks, skills, items, race, etc.
10. BYOG (Balance Your Own Game)
A large set of options that tweak various parts of game balance.
BYOG has also been ported to SSE. If you're not interested in ACE but you want to try BYOG, grab it here
Please keep in mind that the Archery, Armor, Enchanting, Melee, Smithing, and Speech modules all modify the perk trees. Do not level up and select the new perks, and then uninstall the mod mid-game. You're obviously going to have issues.
Since the combat-related perk trees are heavily modified, it's best to start a new game. ACE is not compatible with other mods that change perk trees.

All credit goes to Athyra. I simply ported the mod to SSE.
Athyra passed the mod on to nathanj, who has given me permission to upload the ported mod onto Nexus.
