🎯 Tips & Tricks
Place the XML file in your Oblivion Data folder, and make sure to back up the original file before overwriting.
Since the mod is old, test it with your current mod setup — some mods that alter leveling might conflict.
If you use a mod manager, you can install it manually by dropping the file into the correct directory.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust (5,168 endorsements) — this is a go-to fix for level cap issues
- Simple XML tweak — no complex mod manager or script setup needed
- Solves a real annoyance: no more console workaround when leveling past 100
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2008 — may not be compatible with newer Oblivion versions or mods
- Values past 100 are not displayed, so you can't see your actual skill levels
- Only affects the level-up screen — doesn't change the underlying game mechanics beyond the cap
