📋 About This Mod
Requirement: OBSE and Oblivion Feature: Part I: Alchemy always makes you rich too quickly. There are shinning gold growing all over Cyrodil waiting for your harvesting lol... That really reduced the fun. I know there is already an mod fixed that issue. http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3413 But simply changing the price of custom potions to Zero does not suit my taste... So I changed it as the following: If your alchemy skill is 25, the price of your custom potion will be 1 coin... If your alchemy skill is 50, the price will be 2 coin... If alchemy skill is 75, the price will be 3 coin... etc... All the number is calculated with novice alchemy apparatus. Once you get better apparatus, price will be a little higher... Part II: Lighter potions I don\'t do anything, cdtv is the auther, I just use his/her work. http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11979 This function will automatically make your custom potions\'/poisons\' weight 0. 1, really usefull! All credits to frosty_xyz & cdtv, for the mod idea and script ^_^
This mod reduces the weight and value of custom alchemy potions in Oblivion, making them lighter and less profitable. It's for players who find custom potions too heavy or too lucrative. With only 3 endorsements and a 2009 update, it's an old, niche utility.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Lighter potions mean you can carry more without being overencumbered.
- Lower value might help balance the economy if you felt potion-selling was too easy.
- Simple concept that directly addresses a common annoyance.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 3 endorsements and 299 downloads suggest it's not widely tested or used.
- Last updated in 2009, so it may not be compatible with newer mods or patches.
- Reducing potion value could hurt your income if you relied on selling them.
This is for Oblivion players who find custom potions too heavy and want a more realistic carry weight, or those who think alchemy makes the game too easy by generating too much gold. It's a niche tweak for players who want to adjust game balance without overhauling the whole system.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if you have any other mods that alter alchemy values, as they might conflict.
- If you use a mod manager, install this with it to keep track of changes.
- Test the mod early in your playthrough to see if the new potion values feel right.
