Skill level uncap?

[anonymouselbow]

I see the Legendary option but it doesn't make sense to sacrifice a skill back to 0.  Is there a setting to remove the skill cap of 100?

This is the only mod available for AE at the moment:

For 1.5.97, you can still use:

... edit the INI as necessary.

Okay, so there's no way to simply edit the INI without installing a mod?

If I'm not mistaken, I think the skill cap is in the game engine (meaning it's in Skyrim.exe).

Okay.

Both aspects seem strange to me, the skill level cap and the legendary mechanism, but for different reasons and I was trying to think of an alternative to opting for legendary skills or some justification for doing so, if the skill levels were uncapped but ultimately the two aspects are unrelated so I just don't see a link.

The skill cap especially seems awkward considering they have no cap for over-encumbrance.

And when getting some blessings or buffs from magical equipment I see that some of my skills go over the level 100 cap and that's why I wonder if there is an easy way to adjust that setting since the game doesn't seem to be  counting 100 as a hard cap.

And also, some NPCs have 100% immunity/resistance whereas the player character cannot achieve as such.
