Description

Are you gnashing your teeth because you are not happy with how you have allocated your Skill Points? Well then, Siofra De-Education Services is here to make your day just that little bit better! Deploy Siofra's De-Education Terminal in your outpost, ship or home and you can de-allocate those wayward skill points, allowing you to assign them to new, and better, skills.

Removal

It is safe to remove this mod mid-game. Any constructed terminals will disappear, but there will be no other consequences.

Load Order and Conflicts

This mod is load-order-independent.

This mod is conflict-free as it does not alter any other forms, scripts or assets in the game.

Main features

Adds a Siofra De-Education Services Terminal to the Decorator workshop menu. Once placed, one can use the terminal to demote the rank of any skill and add the skill point back into the pool of available skill points.

The available skill points can be assigned to any skill in the normal manner, which includes the requirement of satisfying any challenges associated with the skill. Note that if one demotes a skill and then later wants to apply a skill point back to that skill, you will not have to repeat the previous challenge. Once a skill's level challenge has been satisfied, one does not have to repeat that challenge even if one demotes the skill and then later on improves the skill again.

Limitations

Due to technical issues regarding how the skills were implemented, the following skills cannot be demoted: Astrophysics, Botany, Deception, Geology, Leadership, Negotiation, Outpost Management, Planetary Habitation, Scanning, Security, Surveying, Zoology.

Third-Party Skills

As one might expect, this mod only knows about the player skills from the base game. It will not allow one to demote skills defined in a third-party mod without an extension/patch mod to import the third-party skills to this mod. Note that, as always, extension/patch mods can never be achievement-friendly, so any such extension/patch mods that are developed will only work with the free version of this mod.

Please see the article here https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/articles/1073 for details of how one would construct an extension mod to advertise third-party skills to this mod.
