I gotta say I think you have the right idea for how to do an "extra skill points" mod, compared to everyone else. It's hard to put a finger on what it is exactly, so I'll just say that your balanced approach to when the extra skill points are given is an improvement over the general trend for you to get them 'all at once' in other mods.

I leave it on at all times and, and probably always will!

Thanks for this! Going in my collection when and enabling it when I switch to "Hard" mode.
