📋 About This Mod
Provides daily income for vacant player-owned houses (from rent) and from investments made using the Expert Mercantile perk.
Rent and Investment Income
Requirements:
xOBSE
Description
This mod provides the player with vanilla-friendly daily passive income from properties and investments. This works as follows:
-
[]Tenants will move into player-owned houses that have been vacant for more than three days. They will provide daily rent at a rate of 1-2% of the property value (including any upgrades) based on Mercantile skill. Visiting a tenanted house will cause the tenant to vacate the property the next day.[/]
[]Each store that the player has invested in (with the Expert Mercantile perk) will provide between 0-10 gold daily based on chance and Mercantile skill.[/]
These income streams provide additional benefit from engaging with vanilla systems without the need for extraneous locations and management features (like with ownable inn and shop mods). Both also require short-term cost for long-term gain, which balances the feature.
I made this mod as I believe that late-game passive income is a good feature in RPGs. It prevents the player feeling like they need to constantly scrounge to keep up with costs (such as buying or recharging items).
This mod works well with the lightweight economy balance features in Vanilla Valleys.
Installation
This mod requires xOBSE
Standard installation procedure: install with your mod manager of choice and activate. I recommend Mod Organizer 2.
Uninstallation
Simply remove the mod.
Compatibility
The only edits involved in this mod are the placement of the new Tenant NPCs. Everything else is managed through a simple, lightweight script.
House and upgrade prices used in the rent calculations are based on the vanilla game. Cope and seethe if you use a mod that changes them.
