Hey, do you have this mod in other platforms? I want to play it on Skyrim Special Edition, but couldn't find it on Nexus Mods
kilyle 9 Jul, 2023 @ 5:48pm 
Also, not sure if this is the mod making the merchants have thousands of septims easily available (one of my mods significantly raised how much they can buy from me from the start of the game on), but I used to find it quite immersive that a little town merchant like in Riverwood had, say, only 750 gold with which to buy my loot. I'd have to journey to a bigger city to sell the more expensive items, which was a pain but made things feel more real.

But now that I've modded up, the money has changed, and he's got like 7000 gold instead, so I can sell off all the stuff I brought and he'll still have a few thousand left over. It lacks that "small villages are poor" kinda feel I had been enjoying.

If I could tweak the overall percentage, or the per-type-of-town percentages (e.g. towns at 0.8, villages at 0.4, cities at 1.2, capitals at 1.8 or whatever), I think it'd feel more realistic about how easily I could sell my loot at various places.

Is there an option to change the weight of money? I've found it not impacting me as much as I'd actually like, so I wind up with thousands of coins without really "feeling" it, and thus have less incentive to keep exchanging coins. I actually like the idea of 100 gold coins weighing a pound, and I might toy around with heavier weights. Someone actually made a video going over how many coins is reasonable for an adventurer to carry, and it's a lot less than one might think! Hence why a mod like this makes sense.

Thanks for making this mod, though! It's quite interesting to find unusual coins as I go.

gold bars are worth 1000 septims each obviously, the spell was crap to begin with anyways.
The Slender Man 23 Feb, 2021 @ 2:27pm 
lost me at removing the transmute.. why would you do such a thing.. "Wish i could turn wood.. to gold"
Artema 28 Jan, 2020 @ 12:42am 
nice
El_Tres  [author] 2 Aug, 2019 @ 12:50pm 
I don't remember how I did it, but I know I did not make a skin for stacks of coins, you could physically stack them on top of each other if you wanted with the grab key.
Abbie 2 Aug, 2019 @ 12:16am 
alright good but how would it work will it just be like 1 coins saying 100 coins or could there be a way to show a stack pile of coins like how morrowind did it were if you drop more coins the pile would get bigger so um...hope fully if your say sorry no could you see if theres a way to make it into a pile of coins then just 1 coin saying 100 coins
p.s sorry to of annoyed you or bugged you of it im just a fan with details is all.....
El_Tres  [author] 1 Aug, 2019 @ 5:31pm 
yes it does, they are a physical item
Abbie 21 Jul, 2019 @ 11:03pm 
say um..does this mod lets you drop the coins and septims so i can make a little money place at my house in whiterun
ryan_s_gardiner 4 Apr, 2019 @ 11:20pm 
Cheers mate ;) good mod by the way. love coming across the other styles of coin!
El_Tres  [author] 3 Apr, 2019 @ 8:39pm 
Markarth hes in the bank. Whiterun hes just outside Jorvaskr. Solitude hes near the outdoor stalls. and hes just outside the keep in Windhelm.
ryan_s_gardiner 3 Apr, 2019 @ 11:39am 
Where in the hold capitals are the money changers? Horded loooooooooads of coins but am having difficulty finding the merchants.
El_Tres  [author] 7 Oct, 2018 @ 3:19pm 
Hola Kira, The value of the higher value coins fluctuates based on your speechcraft skills. I cannot change the currency to hard value without breaking the hard coding. The problem is with the Construction kit provided. In the Fallout:Vegas Creation kit, they changed it so other hard currencies could be added, so it could be possible theoretically to change the hardcoding, but that would most certainly crash the game.
TheKiraTube 4 Oct, 2018 @ 12:50pm 
muy buena idea solo que me gustaria mas si los valores de las monedas fuecen mas pequeños y la variedad de monedas mas alta...
por ejemplo monedas para cada faccion y raza vanilla, cada moneda tenga 5 tipos de estas, laton,bronce,cobre,plata y oro.
las mas malas sean de un valor de 1 a 25 por ejemplo.
las mejores serian las de mas antiguedad por ejemplo las de momias o enanos con unos 25 a 100 de valor por ejemplo.
HorseWithNoName 19 Jun, 2018 @ 12:25am 
great mod ! love it! but sadly its not compatible with "open cities Skyrim- Legend Edition" from Arthmoor. Idk if u can do something there :D but yea if u want a list with not compatible mods here is the first one ^^
mannd1068 4 Mar, 2018 @ 1:19pm 
Ah.... thanks, that helps a lot!
El_Tres  [author] 3 Mar, 2018 @ 10:25pm 
You use the coins as a barter item, not as hard currency. It shows up in your misc tab. To change them to single septims you can use a money changer or any other merchant, although other merchants tend to give less for them.
mannd1068 25 Feb, 2018 @ 10:19am 
When I want to purchase something, the higher end coins aren't even in my gold total to offer. Do I need to be higher in speech for them to take the cons? If I uninstall, what will that do to the coins I have now?
El_Tres  [author] 14 Feb, 2018 @ 6:57pm 
Thanks Brad, check out my other immersion mods that add more dynamics to the game. I especially recommend the DLC hunting and alchemy mods.
Brad 14 Feb, 2018 @ 7:53am 
This mod has completely changed the way I play the game. I wouldn't imagine a playthrough without it. Thanks for the mod man!
El_Tres  [author] 8 Feb, 2018 @ 6:24am 
I don't test my mods vs random mods, that is for you find out.
発酵乳伝道者 6 Feb, 2018 @ 8:29am 
does this work with the shekel mod, very important
El_Tres  [author] 6 Jan, 2018 @ 6:11pm 
I don't think I will convert my mods to Special Edition, mainly because I don't have the time or energy anymore.
Rex Imperator 6 Jan, 2018 @ 8:35am 
Any thoughts on doing a Special edition version?
El_Tres  [author] 5 Sep, 2017 @ 1:42am 
I posted an update, I think that might fix it. But make sure to always quicksave your game, before you change large sums of money, incase you get the bug yourself.
El_Tres  [author] 5 Sep, 2017 @ 12:22am 
Hello Folks, I have found a new bug related to the Gold Bear coin. Until I fix the issue always save your game before you exchange last amounts of gold and silver coins at the money changers. After a few large exchanges it does not seem to recognize the value of the gold bear coins. I will work on it and try to fix the problem.
El_Tres  [author] 3 Aug, 2017 @ 1:08am 
You are looking for a different mod, it's out there. I don't remember what it;s called, but it's not mine
---Rage--- 2 Aug, 2017 @ 10:04am 
Let's say you go to a warm area like Whiterun trying to sell wolf pelts, which are usually used for making fur clothes or leather. The supply won't be that high since warm clothes aren't needed a whole lot in a warm climate. However, going to a place like Dawnstar or Winterhold, you can sell those wolf pelts for a lot, since it is in high demand. I think this would be a great addition to this. In addition, in Spice and Wolf there is a place where you can exchange certain coins for others. 40 of one kind of coin might be worth one kind of another coin, but some stores won't take that one coin so you'll be better off carrying the 40 coins, however you may be able to buy more with that one coin than with the 40 coins. Basically, add a full market place with varrying prices, perhaps random events that will drastically cause prices to fluxuate.
---Rage--- 2 Aug, 2017 @ 10:03am 
Have you ever seen or heard of Spice and Wolf? It's an anime showing the travels of a merchant in what seems like colonial times who comes across a pagan god named Holo, The Wise Wolf. On his travels, he tells about the life of a merchant and how the marketplace works. If something is in high demand, a merchant can sell it for a lot. Doing this will effect the price of the good in question. If the good in question is being bought, the price goes up. The more of the good is available for purchase, the selling price goes down, but the buying price goes up. But that is not true all over the world.

If you found a bug you need to be more specific. and not spam the comments with useless information.
Masuhiko 28 Apr, 2017 @ 12:44pm 
Found reason: Wolsung helmet, discount 20%.

Money Changers broken, they only take money
El_Tres  [author] 22 Feb, 2017 @ 12:03am 
Respawn is hardcoded, I'm not sure exactly the time frame..
Lewis 21 Feb, 2017 @ 3:38am 
How long does it take for them to restock??
El_Tres  [author] 21 Feb, 2017 @ 2:06am 
I just checked all money changers, guards and containers. They are all set to respawn. If you are having problems with resets it is on your end.
El_Tres  [author] 21 Feb, 2017 @ 1:57am 
They already restock. I'll check their respawn, I thought they were set.
Lewis 20 Feb, 2017 @ 10:40am 
EL_Tres, could you make it so the money changers respawn/restock please, i have used them all and accidentally killed one of them ages ago so i can't change my septims to gold and silver for a fair price, thanks.
El_Tres  [author] 14 Jan, 2017 @ 2:20pm 
Small bug fix update to fix the Gold Bear coin.
Artema 11 Aug, 2016 @ 9:42am 
o.o that really nice for you.
El_Tres  [author] 10 Aug, 2016 @ 7:45am 
Ok I just looked at it and the urn was set to a random 100 silver or 100 gold coins. I have set it to 100 gold coins.
Artema 9 Aug, 2016 @ 9:20am 
thanks mate, so if i do another game it should be ok soon, very nice.^^
El_Tres  [author] 4 Aug, 2016 @ 5:59pm 
Ok, I'll fix it soon. Internet was down for a couple days.
Artema 2 Aug, 2016 @ 6:42am 
dunno whats the unit but the quest was Hail Sithis DB11, it wasnt bear silver coin, it was normal silver coin, dunno what more to tell.And the loot was in an urn in Volunruud.
El_Tres  [author] 1 Aug, 2016 @ 4:02am 
Sorry about the bug, I hadn't changed that specific unit. it's possible that the change in the random generator changed his loot table, which I can fix. Can you tell me the exact unit name? And I can fix it.
Artema 27 Jul, 2016 @ 2:53pm 
Autor wtf, i jsut killed the emporer and instead of 20 000 gold(20 thousend coins) found 100 silver, each one worth 75 gold, whats is in total jsut 7500 gold isntead of 20 000 gold!Why?And pls fix this soon.
Artema 16 Jul, 2016 @ 3:47pm
