What Kind of MOD Is It?
『Lam’s mod master』 is a perk (skill) expansion MOD by its author, Lam. It falls under the Miscellaneous category, and on Nexus it is listed as “updated for 2.0.”
The main draw of this MOD seems to be that it adds an entirely new Attribute tree and packs 20 new perks into it. On top of that, one new perk is also added to the existing general attribute tree. Think of it as an “expansion pack” for players who have grown tired of vanilla’s cramped skill setup.
What’s interesting is that the author himself candidly states in the description: “I could write a three-page story going on and on about each individual perk, but honestly 90% of people won’t read it, and on top of that I can’t write it myself. So I’ll let the screenshots do the talking.” The finer effects are apparently the kind you check via the images posted on the Nexus page.
Main Features
- Appears to add a new attribute tree plus 20 new perks
- Adds one new perk to the general attribute tree as well
- Raises the max level to 500. According to the author, Q’s original perks (presumably a separate MOD) require 379 points, and this MOD’s portion requires 111 points, for a total of 490 points; under the conventional level 300 cap (equivalent to 303 points), you would be 187 points short. So he extended the cap to 500, calculating that at level 500 you’d have 13 points to spare
- Perk details are meant to be checked via images
Installation Tips
As with typical MOD installation, you’ll likely place the data inside the downloaded Mods folder into the game’s Mods directory.
- Since this is a MOD that rewrites the level cap and perk structure, installing it on a fresh save is the safer bet. On an existing save, behavior may become unstable
- The description gives the impression that it assumes use alongside Q’s related MOD. It may work on its own, but since the premise behind the point calculations changes, it’s reassuring to check the intended configuration on the author’s page before installing
- When installing on a server, perk-related MODs may require consistency between both client and server, so please check the notes from the distribution source
(These are all guesses within a general range. For exact dependencies and supported versions, be sure to check the original text on Nexus.)
Who Is It For?
- People who find vanilla’s skill tree lacking and just want to grab as many perks as possible
- People who want to enjoy long-term play, carefully leveling all the way up to 500
- People who already use Q’s line of perk-expansion MODs and want to pile on even more
Conversely, for those who want to preserve vanilla’s balance, or who want to thoroughly read through detailed effect descriptions in text, it may come across as a bit rough-and-ready. “Skip the complicated stuff, I just want to load up on skills in a big way”—this seems to be a MOD that hits the mark for exactly those players.
