Is there a way to reset between-level skill progression without going to jail?
Serving one's sentence, for crimes, results in loss of "progress towards one or more skill level advancements; the longer your sentence, the more skills so affected. The maximum sentence is seven days; if you serve seven days, your skill advancement will be cleared for every skill."
It's not that the skill's level is set back to the minimum value or 1 or 0 or anything like that, but the XP progress from the current level to attain the next skill level will be reset. How do I get such an effect without serving a sentence?
Best Answer
You cannot. The only way to reset your skill progress without modifying the game via mods and/or console commands is to serve your jail sentence.

Answer 2
Via console:player.advskill <skill> <base XP> until next skill level (via trial & error), thenplayer.setav <skill> <level> back to original skill level.
I don't know how to prevent the resulting character level XP. The effect could be minimized by setting the skill level to the lowest before levelling it up (then setting it back to the original level).
To remove a resulting perk point, spend a perk point, then
removeperk <perk ID>.
To find the perk ID code in-game, try
help <perkname> 4.
Quotation marks are required for queries of more than one word (e.g., help "ancient nord").
For perk ID codes, see the page for the perk's corresponding skill, indexed at Skills.
Important note: To remove perks from an established tree, you will need to backtrack through the entire tree. Meaning, start from the top and work your way down. In perks with ranks, you will need to remove rank 5/5, then 4/5, etc. Also, using removeperk will only remove the perk. It will not refund the perk points.
E.g.,
player.removeperk 000babe8will remove Barbarian rank 1/5.
