Alright then, like the answer in #2. Will follow up on #1, I'm taking what you are saying is I'm adding your mod to the speed on, since the speed one is already associated to the save that perhaps it will not only work, but not have to start over.
To me that sounds like we should make a base Mod called "Base Mod" that really doesn't do anything and we always start a game with "Base Mod" checked and then we can add RootTemplate mods to the Base and get the affect without a re-start.
We'll report back shortly how merging speed and permanent skill books work out.
