Variable Progression Settings
Community Rating
Variable Progression Settings v1.0
Customize your character progression directly from Starfield's native Gameplay Settings menu. No external tools, no SFSE dependency, no config files.
Features
XP Multiplier — Choose your experience gain rate
- x1 (Normal), x2, x5, x10, x15
Perk Points Per Level — Set how many perk points you earn each level
- 1 (Normal), 2, 3, 4, 5
Bonus Perk Points — Earn extra perk points at every 10th level milestone (10, 20, 30...)
- 0 (Off), 1, 2, 3, 5, 10
All settings are accessible through Settings > Gameplay > Variable Progression Settings using Starfield's built-in menu system.
Installation
Manual
- Extract the archive into your Starfield Data folder:
[Starfield Install]\Data\ - Add
*VariableProgressionSettings.esmto yourplugins.txtat:%LOCALAPPDATA%\Starfield\plugins.txt
Mod Manager (MO2, Vortex)
- Install through your mod manager as usual
- Ensure the plugin is enabled in your load order
Compatibility
- Works on new games and existing saves — no new game required
- No SFSE dependency — uses only native Bethesda systems
- Safe to use with other mods — does not override any vanilla records
- XP stacking note: The XP multiplier stacks with other XP mods (AEGO, Mordrid's 5x XP, etc.) since they all use the same engine system. If using both, effects will compound.
- Perk point stacking note: If using alongside other perk point mods (e.g. More Perk Points), effects will stack. Use one or the other for predictable results.
How It Works
- XP Multiplier is applied natively by the engine through the Gameplay Option (GPOF) system — no script overhead.
- Perk Points and Bonus Perks are handled by a lightweight Papyrus script that reads your menu selections via the GameplayOption API and applies extra perk points on level-up.
- Settings changes take effect immediately — no restart or reload needed.
Uninstallation
- Set all options back to their defaults (x1, 1, 0) before removing
- Remove the mod files and disable the plugin
- Load and re-save your game
Credits
- Thanks to the AEGO (Adjustable Experience Gameplay Options) mod for helping understand Starfield's Gameplay Option format
