The aim of this mod is to expand upon the training system in Skyrim
by introducing new customization options and new trainers.
Training Customization
Replaces the vanilla training menu, adding customization options for training cost, training limits, and new benefits added by this mod.
Users can customize through an MCM menu (if SkyUI is installed), console commands or edits with TES5Edit.
New Trainers
Over 40 vanilla NPCs now offer Common training services.
If you don't want this, it can be disabled.
Requirements and Compatibility
Dawnguard and Dragonborn required.
Fully compatible with all my mods.
SkyUI required for MCM version; no other mods required.
Custom trainers added by other mods will use the vanilla training menu and won't have access to training customization.
Customization
There are 19 customization options, allowing you to change things like how much
training costs, how often you can train, and what other benefits you can gain
from training other than skill increases.
For SkyUI users, all options can be changed with the MCM.
Without SkyUI, options must be changed by editing their
global values using TES5Edit or console commands.
For a full list of customization options,
press the spoiler button below

Training Cost
This mod changes how training cost is calculated. It's now less dependant on skill level, and takes
things like the trainer's experience and their relationship with you into account. The default average
cost of training a skill from 15 to 100 is roughly the same as vanilla and can be customized.
For a full breakdown of cost calculations,
press the spoiler button below
Spoiler:
Show
Training cost calculation: (Base Cost x Trainer Level x Relationship Level) rounded to 10
Base Cost:
Default of 370 for skills below the Common Training Limit (default: level 50)
Default of 1610 for skills above the Common / below the Expert Training Limit (default: level 75)
Default of 2610 for skills above the Expert / below the Master Training Limit (default: level 90)
These values can be customized. The defaults might seem random, but they ensure the average cost of training from level 15 to 90 is the same compared to vanilla costs (assuming you use the cheapeast possible trainer for each level, see Trainer Level below)
Trainer Level:
More experienced trainers charge more.
x1 for Common trainers
x1.2 for Expert trainers
x1.6 for Master trainers
Relationship Level:
Trainers who have a higher disposition towards you will offer discounts.
Default of x0.85 for Friends and Confidants
Default of x0.7 for Allies
Default of x0.0 for Lovers (i.e. your spouse offers free training)
These values can be customized.
Examples:
Training a skill from level 20 to 21 with a Common trainer:
Vanilla cost = 250
Mod Cost = (370 x 1 x 1) rounded up to 10 = 370
Training a skill from level 49 to 50 with a Common trainer:
Vanilla cost = 540
Mod Cost = (370 x 1 x 1) rounded up to 10 = 370
Training a skill from level 20 to 21 with an Expert trainer who is an ally:
Vanilla cost = 250
Mod Cost = (370 x 1.2 x 0.7) rounded up to 10 = 320
Training a skill from level 83 to 84 with a Master trainer:
Vanilla cost = 4200
Mod Cost = (2610 x 1.6 x 1) rounded to 10 = 4180
Training a skill from level 60 to 61 with an Expert trainer who is a friend when the Friendly discount setting is at 50%:
Vanilla cost = 1850
Mod Cost = (1616 x 1.2 x 0.5) rounded to 10 = 970
Base Cost:
Default of 370 for skills below the Common Training Limit (default: level 50)
Default of 1610 for skills above the Common / below the Expert Training Limit (default: level 75)
Default of 2610 for skills above the Expert / below the Master Training Limit (default: level 90)
