📋 About This Mod
The chapels of the Nine need to be maintained somehow; why not by the generous patronage of their parishioners? Every time you pray for healing and restoration at an Altar of the Nine, you are obliged to make a monetary contribution proportional to your wealth. The poor donate nothing, but the rich donate a small fraction of their holdings to maintain the chapel and its priests. This mod will add a small cost to the otherwise free disease-curing, attribute-restoring, health-replenishing powers of an Altar of the Nine. Don\'t be a cheapskate; pay up. The amount deducted when you pray at an Altar of the Nine is 1% of your total gold. -- Exists in two versions: a non-OBSE version, and an OBSE version that allows you to tweak the amount of gold in an .ini file. You can also set the tithe to a flat amount in the .ini file.
Chapel Tithe is a small gameplay mod for Oblivion that automatically deducts 1% of the player's gold whenever they pray at an altar of the Nine. It adds a simple economic consequence to a common action, appealing to players seeking a bit more realism or challenge in their faith-based activities. With 97 endorsements and over 2,000 downloads, it has a modest but dedicated following, though it hasn't been updated since 2008.

- Adds a nice layer of roleplay for characters who worship the Nine.
- Community-tested with 97 endorsements and over 2,000 downloads.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod file in your Oblivion Data folder and activate it in the launcher.
- If you use a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash, install it through that for easier management.
- Test it by praying at an altar with a known amount of gold to see the 1% deduction in action.
