Increasing Companion Limit Past The Hard Cap

[Just Some Random Kid]

So I get that the companion limit seems to be 10 Cha+Party Animal skill=Companion limit. However the true cap seems to be 4 (from charisma)+Party animal skill=True limit on party size and I was curious if there was a way either through a mod or editing some file settings somewhere to increase the cap on how much party space charisma can give you. I'm new to the game so I don't know much about it but from what I can tell charisma is only really used for increasing party limit, a few fringe spells (Like summon animal and summon undead younger sister), and potentially making you generically better at the charisma skills (uncertain about this one).

With the main appeal of charisma seemingly being party size increases I'd like a way to break the hard cap on the amount you can have because stacking charisma really hard doesn't seem all too worthwhile otherwise. There might be a way to do this in-game that I'm just unaware of but as of yet I haven't found it.

You also need charisma to recruit people once you get their affinity to 75. You only need about 90 charisma to recruit nearly every npc in the game outside of very high level Big Daddies.

Ah yea I felt like I was forgetting something.

1 base, Then +1 per 10 charisma starting at 20, (maxed at 50 cha /+4, 10 cha is skipped) for a total of 8.

If you're looking for a mod that makes it so char keeps on giving, there's this one that does just that:

It simply removes the cap of 50 charisma, continuing to give you +1 every 10.

That's exactly what I was looking for actually.

Just note that this has horrible implicatioins with the lonely soul trait. If you're going to use this mod, self restraint by not taking lonely soul (or only taking like 1 level in it) is necessary if you do not want to break the game..

Yea that was the intent. But hey, there are plenty of ways to break this game wide open if you REALLY want to. Hard stacking charisma with this mod is one of the lesser ones I've seen.
