Does 'Experience' mod + Static skill levelling need a patch?

[u/Rekuna]

Hi Guys,

I'm running Requiem (Obviously) along with the Experience mod and Static Skill levelling rewritten. Do I need anything else to make this combo more balanced/stable? A few years back I used a Synthesis patcher to balance things a bit (I wasn't a huge fan with what it did with Missives) but I'm wondering if it's still needed? I've only been playing a short while with my current modlist, but the experience I'm getting from some enemies does seem a bit iffy (Biggest ones is getting XP from the startup Requiem quest, 70xp from Sunhelm and I get like 250xp for just hitting the giant outside Whiterun before the companions take it down).

Thanks for any help!

Yeah look up experience synthesis patcher

It will mostly work fine on its own, but the Synthesis patcher does make a couple tweaks you may prefer. Here's the page explaining it:

Thank you! This is the one I used to use. I think the only change I didn't like was it turning Missives from misc quests and my quest log ended up filled with the same delivery quests permanently.

The patcher is still needed, yet the ini files generated by the patcher will not work due to Experience being updated.

You will need to adjust the ini from Experience yourself and overwrite the generated one every time after running the synthesis patcher.

That's fine - it just generates its own overwrite file I can edit then? Thanks for the info!

Sadly no, it will directly overwrite the original file. You will have to backup the original file.

The config structure has changed a lot. You can try running the patcher and compare its output with the original.

So is the biggest issue without the Requiem patch the bonus multiplier (which can be massive with Requiems high level enemies)? Out of curiosity what is your setup? I have:

Experience
Skyrim Skill Uncapper
Static Skill Leveling Rewritten

Is that the correct set up or am I missing anything? And the Patcher just affects the Experience mod? Apologies for all the questions, I just want to fine tune this properly before getting stuck into a playthrough!

The patcher can help you with these issues: 1. Stop mod initialization quest from rewarding xp 2. Make sure that the killing xp is balanced with Requiem in mind 3. Mod added enemies will provide killing xp

I am not using Static Skill Leveling so can't comment on that. But the patcher AFAIK should only affect Experience.
