Automatic Perks and More
(No fancy acronym for the new name. I'll just stick with ASAP since it's appropriate.)
As you earn skill levels, you will automatically gain whatever perk in whatever skill you've chosen to monitor.
This mod is for players who desire the skill classes of previous TES games (leveling too when SKSE can support it).
Currently, there isn't a way to control / update perk points, health, stamina, or magicka within vanilla Skyrim. As the SKSE team exposes the necessary data and gives us commands to do so, ASAP will evolve into a true leveling mod. Until then, the current leveling system will not change with this mod.
This mod works with SKSE and Skyrim Community Uncapper. As of this time, ASAP is not dependent on either of them to work.
Notes:
- This mod is not compatible with any mod that alters any perks except what the perk actually does. This mod depends on the vanilla EditorID and skill level conditions of perks. Though mods that only adjust the values of the vanilla perks that should be compatible.
- This mod will not work with any mod that alters the Main Quest before stage 90.
- Perk Points will still be granted on level up. You just won't be able to use them on perks added by this mod. You will already have all available perks for whatever skill and level you monitor. You will be able to use your perk points on non-class skills.
- If you decide you want to make some perks ASAP awarded permanent, equip the ASAP ring and choose Reset. When the menu comes back, choose Cancel. Use the perk points as you will, then re-equip the ASAP ring and choose Reset again. This time follow through with your class selection.
- If you choose to disable perk points with the uncapper mod to avoid seeing them in the skills menu, you will not, I repeat NOT, get them back after uninstalling this mod.
- Scripts, script variables, and objects that are persistant in a saved game are permanent. Once this mod is removed, EVERY time you load a save that had this mod active at some point, a notation will get written to the papyrus log that some ASAP object or variable "is not found and will be skipped". This is not a bug with the mod. It is a "feature" of Skyrim.
Only Bethesda can fix this issue (if they ever do).
Waiting for the inevitable bug reports. I tried to be thorough in testing, but...

In the future, pending SKSE commands, other enhancements may be added.

Detailed info
=============
If this mod is loaded and you start a new game, immediately after you select your player's race, an ASAP menu will appear to allow you to configure ASAP more to your preference.
You may choose to start with all skills at level 1 or at level 5. (Vanilla Skyrim is 15 + skill level bonus detailed in the Race Skills.)
If you do, you may also choose to add skill bonuses based upon your selected race. Five skills will be increased by 5 and one skill by 10 based on the vanilla race skill profiles. If you choose to use the default Skyrim skill levels, no additional skill bonuses will be added unless you choose to add the Character Class bonuses.
You may choose to use a preset Character Class, you may choose to create an Adventurer Class, or you may choose to adjust all skill perks.
Each class consists of six skills as defined by previous TES Lore (Matched as close as practical to Skyrim skills). If you choose a class, ONLY those six skills will get the perk adjustments. You may choose to add class bonuses to the six skills (currently these bonuses are skill levels. Choose one of the six to be your "major" skill. This skill gets an additional 5 skill levels.
You can now choose to "Reset" ASAP by equipping the ASAP Ring. This will remove all the changes made by ASAP and allow you to reset your selections.
