This is dead easy to use and ran for me no problems in 2025 on the original Skyrim edition. Subscribe to the mod and follow the instructions (install SKSE etc). Check the mods found and selected/loaded correctly by checking the data option on the first splash screen (pre game). Upon loading your save and being in game, you should see the dialog popup select what you want from these menus 'SKSE Version Correct' etc. Providing that's all working, all you need to do is go to your magic option, view all and find 'perkpoint trader' spell. Equip the spell and use it in game. Voila.

why dont you just tell us now instead of "in game" because there is no in game manual it dosent work

@Eric Draven you find it a spell

Installed the mod and SKSE and everything seems to be working fine as when I load the game to play it says SKSE is installed correctly and I get the bonus points but I cant find how to Reset my perks, when I load up it also says "Perkpoint Trader added" but I cant find it in my inventory, would love some help.

doesnt work

How do I reset my perk tree?

i want to take all the points i put into alchemy and use them on something else but i dont know how to

how do i reset my perks

omg ty been looking fo this for a while, all the other ones make you level up faster which i dont want i just want 2 points to spend each level ahah

thank u for this mod

@TheOneAndOnly
I notice whever I click "New" on the main menu, the option to turn on the mod shows before my character is made, freezing the game every time. Any ways around this?

pardon my lousy English
finaly got it to work.. however I belive I encountered a bug. it doesnt reset everything. it gives you the perk points back yes, but all the numbers are the same, as in all my skills were the same, only when i chose a tree did i notice any difference. HP,stam and mag doesnt reset either, though I didnt bother finding out if it was the same problem.

as of right now I CAN say the mod works, and if I could get it to work, then so should you, cause I am kiiiinda dumb. however the issue i talked about above may bother you if you have OCD or something

i can't get it to work. ive tried steam, i've tried nexus, i've dowloaded skse i can't figure out whats wrong!

YOU MUST LAUNCH GAME WITH SKSE ONLY, using the regular icon wont enable it, enjoy ! :D

I think this is easily one of the best ideas I have seen for Skyrim. Although, before I download, I have to ask if it is compatible with SKSE 1.07.01 first because I do not want to crash my game and go about fixing all that ( I am relitively new to pc gaming and just spent a day cleaning out my files because of over downloading mods and not realizing that some can argue with each other). Thanks for any help!

@Below You've overloaded your game with mods. There is a limit of I think 2GB of mods you can install. If you uninstall a couple then you should be able to use it.

I attempted to download the SKSE and then the mod, no matter what I do the mod causes my game to close upon loading. I wish the mod would work for me as well as everyone else. However, I do have a suggestion. I'd suggest making a mod that doesn't need any further downloads or mods to make it work. I feel this way because within the past 10 mins of tinkering around with this mod It's made me crash 3 times already. I'm not willing to do any further effort than that.

How do i disable the bonus perk per level?

doesn't work even if you have ske don't instal.

dont work dont even bother

I installed SKSE and then subscribed to this mod, because nexus wasn't working, and it seems that the mod isn't working at all. Have I missed any thing?

Is this incompatible with Skyre?

Good mod

Thanks useful mod.

"err Perk point trader is under Powers in the Magic Menu. Click it then tab out of the menu and use your Shout key. Might want to include these instructions on your discription page to combat peoples confusion and annoyance"

THIS!!!, would never have figured this out, if Kelryth, hadent been so kind as to explain this,
Please DO include a more comprehensive explanation ingame thx...

Does this work on higher versions?

How about, if you'd bother, adding a way to change exactly how many perks you want per level, not just 2.

I just fell in love with you for that mod dude

@tat... if they have skyrim on console, theres a 95% chance they already know how. I could probably have 1000x your amount if I wanted (not sure if that would go over the actual limit (where it would be negative instead)).

helll yes i have 3000 dragonsouls if u wondering how ur a dumbass wacht someones going to ask how did u get thst many

It just work in SKSE v1.5.9 and Skyrim v1.6.89? Or I can still use this mod on higher versions of both?

Do you know how to uninstall this? I installed it before realizing, that I did not have SKSE v1.5.9 and Skyrim v1.6.89, so now the whole game doesn't work anymore. I would be pleased if you could give me an advice. Thank you.

err Perk point trader is under Powers in the Magic Menu. Click it then tab out of the menu and use your Shout key. Might want to include these instructions on your discription page to combat peoples confusion and annoyance.

How do I reset my perks???

Great idea, works and is wonderful for higher levels.

does this work for stats like health, stamina, and magicka? or just for perks?

When i pick the perkpoint trader nothing happens..

I really liked this mod until march 2013 when a series of rapid fire patchs on steam kept breaking skse. I know it's beyond your control and will re-subscribe once the patch bomb debries feild settles some.

ah.... :( this broke my game. Might you know how?

Howto.

When in game

Magic > Shouts/Powers > Perkpoint trader

I had no instructions about this feature so I post it here.

You know, Instruction on how to use it would be GREAT.

People are saying on the Dragonborn dlc you can do the same.

Okay, could you post a copy of the manual here? I just resumed playing Skyrim for the first time in a few months and I cannot remember the instructions.

this is awesome!! love it

I like the dragon sould perk conversion and how when you reset you only get to use your vanilla perks.

man if i start to level up to fast and i want more perks i just lower my player level

I got the mod working, but then I accidentally launched from Steam, played for a few levels and realized I was only getting 1 point. When I launch from SKSE, it does not retroactively fix it anymore. Anyway to force it to recalculate?

@sirarie Make sure your Skyrim is V1.7. Open you games library/ right-click on Skyrim/ properties/ updates/ automatic updates. Run Skyrim from the original shortcut so it can update itself. Download SKSE from: http://skse.silverlock.org/ . Check the readme after download as there are some folders you have to manually copy to your Skyrim data folder. Now run Skyrim from the SKSE shortcut (path in readme). This worked for me.

Finally I can play the game as a fighter, assassin & wizard. Nice work dude!

Hey. I downloaded the SKSE, but when I try to launch skyrim SKSE says Skyrim isn't up to date. I know that it is. Any help? Or could AstariesZ(like the name by the way) make a new mod without SKSE?
