About this mod

A zero footprint Legendary Perks mod, an "On Sleep" alternative (almost zero footprint), and an ESM modder resource to make your own legendary perk entry points using this framework

Requirements

Changelogs
Make "A Bowl for Reflection" at any cooking station, some warm food to eat while you consider your accomplishments. Or, if you have the "on sleep" version, use a bed. A script reviews your skills' legendary levels, writes any new value to the skills' globals, and assigns legendary skill perks when earned. Each perk has effect(s) that are triggered by its global value. The "bowl" version is a zero footprint method of tracking and implementing legendary skill effects with no long running scripts, new event registers, extraneous files, etc. The bowl must be eaten each time a legendary level is gained to get the new entry points for that legendary level. In "on sleep" version, a slightly modified script is attached to the sleep quest -- when your character sleeps, their legendary status is updated.

All legendary perks grant an initial bonus to their skill advancement (most equal to a non-exclusive Lover's Perk). In addition, all have five entry points with modest bonuses at each succeeding legendary level though the fifth (see docs for complete list). Several also have more significant bonuses added, particularly at their fifth legendary levels. Two of these require modifications of the existing perks "Twin Souls" or "Extra Enchantments" before they are realized in the game (because vanilla sets these values rather than multiplies or adds).

ESM modder's resource version: "On sleep" but also contains magic effect script for "bowl" version. Uncompiled of each is in script/source folder of the download. This is a modder's resource. There is only one entry point for each legendary perk increasing that skill's advancement by 15% (equivalent to a non-exclusive Lover's Perk) to be kept or deleted as you see fit. The rest is up to your preference.

Requirements: Skyrim SE 1.6.342 and SKSE64

Conflicts: There are 18 new perks, 18 new globals, and in the "bowl" version 1 new constructible, 1 new potion (a food), and 1 new magic effect. No vanilla assets are altered in the "bowl". In "on sleep" version a script is attached to the player sleep quest, which introduces a slight footprint, but makes it much more immersive in my opinion.

If making your download into an ESL or otherwise switching versions, uninstall old mod, load latest save and make a new save, install new version, load game, eat bowl or sleep depending on what version you've installed. If switching from "bowl" to "on sleep", eat all your bowl for reflections and make a save before uninstalling old version.

**********
USEFUL CONSOLE COMMANDS TO VERIFY INSTALLATION AFTER SCRIPT RUNS ON YOUR CHARACTER:

(1) "ShowGlobalVars" then use page up to view global variable values "a_leg_...", which should match the skills' legendary levels
(2) "help Legendary" then use page up to view perk IDs, "player.hasperk PERK_ID" will return "1" if it's been registered by eating "A Bowl for Reflection"
