For anyone still interested, I made a B42 version with extra traits that give more skill points here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3485958350

It's quite easy to customize this to adjust the cost and amount of points you get. I think an alternate version of this that would be nice is one that gives the max skills you can get from watching the life and living channel the first few days. To skip that initial part of the game or for new characters on an existing map.

In Fallout: New Vegas the trait skilled gives you a boost to all skills at a cost of less XP Gain

Could be an interesting way to balance out the trait

Just edit the file and make it cost whatever you think is balanced.

make this cost like 24 points or something

Do you really want it to cost 96 points though? You'd have to take nearly every negative vanilla trait to afford it.

For 4 points in vanilla you can get +1 level in a skill tree with some traits, and here for 8 points you can get like 15 levels of different skills, yeah, seems balanced, denifitly nothing wrong.
