Hello,

I was wondering if it was possible to change a setting or something in the mod Oblivion XP Update to allow for skills to increase without leveling up. I mean that XP is still required for leveling up, not skill increases, and skills can be increased in the level up screen, but skills can also increase through usage. I like the XP concept of leveling up and the concept of applying points to your choice of skills each time, but I also like increasing skills through use. Is there a way to get the best of both worlds? Thank you.

No.

That would be practically impossible since the aim for Oblivion XP is to return to the RPG style of leveling that most of us are used to. If you don't like that concept, perhaps you can try any other leveling mods available. There are many other alternatives to Oblivion XP if you search them at Nexus.

Your are able to to set your settings in a different way, I mean there is mods, that let you mess with your skills, but my question for you op is, what do you mean the best in both worlds?
