🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure to back up the original files before replacing them, so you can revert if something goes wrong.
If you're using a mod manager, check if it supports loose file overrides—otherwise, manual placement is required.
After installing, verify the level cap change in-game by checking your XP bar or level-up screen.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Community-approved with 553 endorsements and 42k downloads—clearly a go-to for level cap tweaks.
- Does exactly what it says: raises the cap without touching anything else, so no surprise balance changes.
- Lightweight—only three files edited, so it's easy to understand and revert if needed.
👎 Cons
- No install instructions provided by the author—you'll need to figure out file placement yourself.
- Last updated in February 2026—might not be compatible with future game patches, so check before updating.
- No options or customization—you get one level cap change, no sliders or configs.
