📋 About This Mod

========= ENHANCED ECONOMY 5. 4. 3 ============ Completely overhauls Oblivion\'s economic game to make it immersive and interesting, and optionally making it harder to get rich fast. ========= Author: Ole Bøe, a.k.a. TheNiceOne Date: Sept 08, 2011 OBSE 20 (or newer) required. MenuQue 6 (or newer) required for the Real Values feature! ========= DESCRIPTION Enhanced Economy is a complete overhaul of Oblivion\'s economic game, in order to achieve two goals: To make it more immersive, and to make it possible to adjust the economic difficulty to each player\'s taste. Dynamic Barter Gold can be tweaked, and all other features can be disabled or tweaked, so it is very easy to adjust the mod to your taste. The mod comes with a very comprehensive OMOD installation script, so you get to tweak it exactly as you like by answering some questions. Main features are: Dynamic Barter Gold: Merchants don\'t have infinite gold, but receive/lose gold when you buy/sell items. Merchant Quests: Merchants will ask you for help to find items in caves/ruins that otherwise see little action. Haggle Overhaul: Disable Haggle menu and get automatically correct prices - or keep it, but with restriction on the number of haggle attempts. Real Values: Bartering are done at real values, and not rounded up. So an arrow worth 1 gold, sold at 30% will net you 0. 3 gold, not 1. Local Economy: Item prices varies depending on the city and the merchant. A Smith will pay well for swords, but not for clothes. Also let you easily change the base price of variuous item types. Item repricing: Lets you easily reprice individual items by editing/importing text files with price data. A number of such files included. Global Economy: The merchants\' prices and willingness to trade is affected by the Oblivion crisis. Gold Adjustment: Adjust how much gold you get from quest or any other source. Item Removal: Reduce the number of enchanted items found in the game. Repricing: Reprices the buyable houses, Reduces the high values of enchanted loot. Reprices all services. House Taxes: Makes you have to pay tax for your houses. Mercantile Leveling: Gain more experience when selling expensive items or group of items. Illegal looting: It is illegal to loot dead guards or other friendly NPCs, containers in cities, or plants belonging to farms. All except the first are completely optional! Dynamic Barter Gold * Merchants no longer have infinite gold: When you buy/sell something, the merchant\'s barter gold is adjusted accordingly. The merchant\'s barter gold also varies during the day, normally with less gold early in the morning, and more gold later when other customers have visited their shops. You can easily adjust the amount of gold merchants normally have and the randomness factors involved, so you can get an easier g
