Due to popular demand, I went ahead and made a mod that makes the new magazine system less of a grind. Unlike the majority of my mods, I personally won't be using this one, so lemme know if there's any issues that pop up. It should work fine though, I expect, as I have done some rudimentary testing.
Bascially each magazine will now award 5 skill points instead of one, cutting the grind down drastically. Instead of requiring 100 magazines for the majority of skills, one now neds only source 20. And less for the skills that require less than 100 magazines. I find this kinda cheese, but nontheless you are welcome.
