About this mod Machine translation

Perkapalooza adds over 600 perks to Skyrim by adding additional ranks to existing perks and injecting dozens of new and exciting perks. Perkapalooza builds on the vanilla experience, staying true to the original Skyrim tree and feeling like a natural addition that should have been there all along.

~Perkapalooza!~

ultimate life experience

Perkapalooza is a massive perk overhaul that perfectly matches the standard vanilla experience. It builds on existing extras, adding new levels, so each extra tree feels like a familiar tree you know and love, while also adding new extra trees that feel like they should have been included all along. This focuses on character building, letting you stack your skills in areas that fit your character. As the spiritual successor to the great mods Uncapped Perks by Liberta and the legendary Uncapped Perks Perkapalooza by Sillumlt, it retains every vanilla perk and is as low maintenance as possible from a user perspective.

There's a tl;dr in the end if you don't care about the details. This mode is just as easy to use as the vanilla perk.

~Overview~

This awesome video by Boxof Beer showcases Perkapalooza and several other great mods. Perkapalooza shows at 7:48.

New ranks for old Parks

This mode increases the number of additional skills required to improve a skill, but also increases the maximum improvement. At level 100, several levels of perks open up. I always find that early in the tournament the prize money grows too quickly. This solves this problem and allows for more powerful endgame players.

For comparison, here are the Vanilla Armsman perk and the Perkapalooza Armsman Perk:

vanilla

Level 0 - 20% damage bonus of 1 point

Level 20 -40% one person bonus damage

Level 40 -60% first damage bonus

Level 60 - 80% first damage bonus

Level 80 - 100% first damage bonus

Pecapulosa

Level 0 -10% damage bonus of 1 point

Level 20 -15% damage bonus by 1 point

Level 35-20% 1 point damage bonus

50-30% one-time bonus at level one

Level 65-40% adds damage bonus to one person

Level 80 -50% damage bonus once

Level 90 -60% first damage bonus

Level 100 -75% first damage bonus

Level 100-90% first damage bonus

Level 100-110% one-time damage bonus

Level 100 - 130% first damage bonus

Level 100-150% damage bonus once

This sums up the general philosophy of Perkapalooza. In Vanilla Horizon, you have 5 extra Sorrows, while in Pecapulosa, you have 12 extra Awes.

New Perks

The mode also comes with a variety of new perks focused on character creation, ease of use of skills, or simply having fun. These perks are outlined in more detail below based on their respective skill trees. Highlights of some of the more exciting benefits are:

Second Wind - Reduces the cooldown between shouts (level 10)

Talent - Learn all skills faster (level 15)

Dark Demon - Attacks against sleeping targets will cause greater damage.

Marathon Runner - Increased movement speed (level 10)

Child's Play - Novice Destruction Spell Deals More Damage (Level 10)

Reputation - After defeating Alduin/Harkon/Miraak (level 3), the buying and selling price has increased.

and more catering to all types of preferences and games.

New way to receive PERK points

Perkapalooza increases the total number of available perks from 251 to a whopping 822 (plus or minus my math error). Obviously, this is an unrealistic change, using only the extra points gained from levels. Therefore, the Lock (Wealth) tree now includes the additional benefit of placing potions on bandits, citizens, undead, and dragons. I recommend taking advantage of these perks early on to prevent a frustratingly slow leveling experience.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
