📋 About This Mod
I've seen other mods that increase merchant gold, but the ones I tried seem all ported from Oldblivion and break the new voice acting introduced in Oblivion Remastered, so I've decided to made my own natively for Remastered.
There are 4 versions that increase barter gold cap.
Magnate Edition: Vendors that previously had up to 50 gold now have 10x more. Everyone else has 5x more.
Upper Class Edition: Vendors that previously had up to 50 gold now have 6x more. Everyone else has 3x more.
Upper Middle Class Edition: Vendors that previously had up to 50 gold now have 4x more. Everyone else has 2x more.
Lower Middle Class Edition: Vendors that previously had up to 50 gold now have 3x more. Everyone else has 1. 5x more.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid download-to-endorsement ratio (35k downloads, 127 endorsements) shows it's being used and appreciated.
- Targeted change: tweaks merchant gold without touching other economy aspects, so it's low-risk for compatibility.
- Author's concept of 'let them eat cake' adds a fun roleplay angle to the economy.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated May 2025 — may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim patches or mods that alter merchant records.
- No detailed documentation on which merchants are affected or how the gold values are calculated.
- Niche appeal: only affects merchant gold, so players wanting a full economy overhaul will need additional mods.
For Skyrim players who find vanilla merchant gold too low and want a more realistic economy without overhauling the whole system. Also for roleplayers who enjoy a class-based society where wealthy merchants have more coin. Skip if you want a comprehensive economy mod or if you're on a version that might conflict with merchant edits.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod edits merchant gold, place it early in your load order to avoid conflicts with other economy mods.
- If you use a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting other mods' changes.
- Check if your game version is up to date; if you're on an older version, the mod might still work but test it.
