Go to Scripts\Misc\charactercreation.cs
Around line 614 you will find a code that looks like this
Code:
newChar.Hunger = 20;
After that line add this
Code:
newChar.Skills.Cap = (number you want skill cap to be);
it should look something like this
Code:
newChar.Hunger = 20;
newChar.Skills.Cap = 100000;
Remember to always add an extra 0 at the end of the number you want skills to be set at. if you want skills to be set at 500 then you need to type 5000.
If you only type 500 then your players max skill cap will be 50.
