Vanilla Skills Expanded is a new mod that expands on the vanilla skills system by introducing expertise to the extremely broad skill categories that vanilla has. Only 1 expertise per pawn can be gained. Expertise can only be gained in skills with both a passion and more than 15 levels. In addition, other mods can add more to account for their own additions of tasks.

Expertise will allow your pawns to truly excel in specific skills that fit their abilities and backstories. From planet-known farmers and architects to professional chefs and master duelists, this mod aims to add much more character to all the pawns.

Expertise is a permanent choice, so be careful what you pick!

This mod also introduces three new passion types - critical passion, natural passion and apathy!

Requires:

v2.01:

Added mod options to add expertises and set them to a given level
Fixed the taming expertise, which wasn't applying revenge on tame fail stat modifiers
Hidden the Food Hygiene expertise, as it wasn't doing anything (cooking 15 already lowers food poison chance to 0.5%, which is negligible). It will just be hidden from being chosen, not removed from existing pawns that have it, for compatibility reasons.
Buffed the Striking expertise, as the bonus it was giving to melee hit chance was negligible
Swapped VEF_VerbCooldownFactor for the vanilla RangedCooldownFactor
We are aware of the problems with Sniping in 1.6, but those will take longer to address
