Exciting skill levels

If you miss all the information Oblivion gives you to increase your skill level, then this mod is for you. Whenever you reach the required level for a new level (Apprentice, Adept, Expert and Master), a unique message will be displayed and the associated rewards will be obtained.

Now every skill has news, even legendary ones!

describe

Remember how Oblivion always gave you an interesting message when you reached level 25, 50, 75 and 100 of each skill? Well, now Skyrim does too!

Whenever you reach a new level (Apprentice, Adept, Expert, and Master) in any skill, you'll see a custom (and hopefully interesting) message. If it's a magic skill or a lockpicking skill, you can also get the relevant extra rewards for free (unless you're using the LITE version). This saves you from wasting extra points on perks like Apprentice Destruction, where only spells of that level reduce the magic required - unlike Annihilation, where you actually need the required level in order to cast the spell. Additional special rewards are also offered to professional players who reach 100 (Master Level) in all five magic schools.

_____

Don't worry, this mod is reactive - if you are already level 87, you will automatically receive all corresponding messages the next time you level up this skill. If you have already reached level 100 (and therefore cannot level up again), you can simply type the following two lines into the console:

> player.setav [Trick] 99

> player.incpcs [Tips]

(Without >> at the beginning, replace [skill] with the skill of your choice. Note that Archery is actually "Marksman" and Speech is actually "Speechcraft" in the console.)

This will level you up to level 100 in [Skill] and you will receive all messages.

Install

Just use Mod Manager.

Alternatively, if you insist on manual installation, simply copy the contents of the folder into Skyrim's Data folder and select the mod in your favorite load order tool before starting the game.

Other instructions

• SKSE（
• SkyUI 3.0 or higher is highly recommended - This mod contains an MCM configuration menu (although it's more of a ranking menu). The mod will run without it, but you won't be able to change to the LITE version without using the console. The console command to do this is "Set JulesRankPerksUseLITE to 1" to enable LITE mode or "Set to 0" to disable it. But you don't need to know that, unless you're crazy enough to play Skyrim without SkyUI.
• See how many references you can find in other franchises! References include The Secret of Monkey Island, Game of Thrones, Monty Python, TES IV: Oblivion, The Witcher 2, Robin Hood, The Ghost in the Shell, Iron Man, Assassin's Creed, Conan the Barbarian, The Lord of the Rings, The Lion King and The Matrix.
• This now adds a fair amount of text to the game (only 4,000 words), so if you find any spelling or grammatical errors in any of the messages, please let me know! I strive to have perfect English on everything that appears in the game, because it really immerses me otherwise.
• Regarding the question of grammatical errors...while I am a proud advocate of British English, I know that Skyrim is made in the United States and uses American English. And I wanted my mod to fit into the vanilla game as seamlessly as possible, so based on my personal preference, I chose to use American English for this mod. If I slip anywhere, please let me know. (The only real difference is "armor" instead of "armor.")
• If you receive the Arcane Mastery bonus (earning a Master's degree in all 5 schools of magic) and then craft one of the Legendary Skills, you will still retain this perk. You win.
