3 what is it you want to fix?
has your character just not leveled because you didn't get around to it yet or is one of your mods blocking the level up option
Sorry I just missed your post as I uploaded that picture. It's not just this one playthrough. It's multiple where I can keep gaining experience indefinitely but will never actually level up. Good to know about the mods.
