You arent supposed to hie the level cap in Skyrim...... the level "cap" is just there because that is how many levels the game had after adding up every skill.

the game was and is designed for you to stop leveling around level 50. Before the game even came out Todd Howard even said the game has a soft level cap of 50, because that's how far you were supposed to get if you played the game normally.
