Game Skyrim Forum

I'm having another run in the DC Wasteland. I've come across a glitch/problem with a bobblehead.

I went into Lucas's house. The door was not locked, so I just walked right in. (I'm not a stealth specialist with this character.) I picked up the bobblehead and did not get the usual "Your [special/skill] improved." message. I went back to my Megaton home and tried to get the +1 strength. Strength is still at 6. I placed the bobblehead on the stand and clicked it again. Now I get a "You can free 1 strength" as a choice. Thinking this was strange, I clicked that choice anyway. I lost 1 point of strength, which is not really all that surprising when I think about it: "FREE one point of strength."

Is there something I'm missing here? Why did my strength not go to 7? I did not "steal" the bobblehead. I have good karma in Megaton. Is there an upper limit to the bonus? I am almost level 4 currently (5XP away from 4).

PS: As an aside, is there a mod that adds a clock to the HUD? I have one in Skyrim and really miss having that info handy

I found the trouble. I was using a mod called "Revamped Leveling." I forgot that it "disabled SPECIAL bobbleheads." Sorry for the confusion
