Dynamic Lifestyle XP Redux (Toned Down)

Description
This is an updated / rebalanced / forked variant of the Dynamic Lifestyle XP mod originally by Adrei, as it is presently out of date in semi-significant ways. All credit goes to them for the original code. If for whatever reason they want me to remove the mod from the workshop, I will.

You can find that original upload here:

In general, this mod now takes your character stats into consideration when calculating xp generation for lifestyles. So for example, now having a higher martial skill contributes to gaining more martial lifestyle xp than a character of lower martial skill. It also allows free shifting between lifestyle focuses, without any cooldown time.

This version also features some tweaks to the balance of the original mod, just of my personal preference. It notably includes a slight learning contribution to xp calculation for all other lifestyles, the original mod didn't feature this. This particular "lite" variant is just a slightly toned down version of the version of this that I use myself. The difference between the 2 being that lifestyle xp gain per point of an attribute is halved in this lite variant. You can find the stronger version that I personally run here:

With this mod you'll see a slightly faster increase in the rate of xp gain relative to vanilla, and characters will ramp up a little bit in their rate of xp gain as they gain traits, stats, and modifiers.

Additionally this includes the readdition of new modifiers introduced since the T&T DLC that Adrei's original version overwrites and omits due to it being out of date. It also includes built in integration for lifestyles added by other mods including:

Lifestyles Expanded - Prowess
Witchcraft
Elder Kings 2
Roman Lifestyle
Supernatural
More Lifestyles

If there's another mod that adds lifestyles that you'd like built in integration for, let me know and i'll try my best to incorporate it.

Comparing the XP gain:
With a character with a level 3 education and 15 in the same attribute of that education, over 20 years you can expect:

Vanilla - ~8 perk unlocks with no ramp up in rate of xp gain
Dynamic Lifestyle XP Redux - ~15 perk unlocks with a stronger ramp up in rate of xp gain
Dynamic Lifestyle XP Redux (Lite) - ~10 perk unlocks with a weaker ramp up in rate of xp gain

Other than that, that's all. Thank you to anyone who downloads this. This is also a very simple mod in code, and should in general survive most, if not all, future updates to the vanilla game with little to no issue.

@CertifiedAHole yes, but I haven't integrated adjustments for the lifestyle xp for POD. But the mod shouldnt cause and conflicts or anything

How compatible is this with POD?

Updated for Basileus / Roads to Power. Commenting another reminder that this mod is for the most part, entirely update-proof.

thanks for doing this, loved the original mod so will definitely be using this in my next play through, i typically dont like too many buffs from the vanilla game so this liter version is perfect for me.
