✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Pluginless means no conflicts with other mods — drop-in and go.
- Community-tested with 261 endorsements and 4k downloads.
- Recent update (Dec 2025) shows active maintenance.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires MWSE-Lua, so you need the Morrowind Script Extender set up first.
- Only affects buy prices, not sell prices or merchant gold — might feel one-sided.
For Morrowind players who want a tougher economy without overhaul mods. If you're tired of getting rich off vendor trash, this adds a nice challenge. Skip if you prefer vanilla bartering or don't want to bother with MWSE.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure MWSE-Lua is installed and up to date before adding this mod — it won't work without it.
- Since it's pluginless, you can just drop the files into your Data Files folder, but using a mod manager like MO2 helps keep things tidy.
- Test bartering with a few merchants early to see how much prices drop — you might need to adjust your selling habits.
