📋 About This Mod
I\'ve had this mod on the Steam Workshop for quite a while now and decided to share it here. Steam Workshop: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=7843 Reduces time for cells to respawn and dead bodies to be removed. Also reduces the time for vendors to respawn their inventory and increase their gold by 10x. Changes: Cell Respawn = 24 hours (was 240) Cleared Cell Respawn = 24 hours (was 720) Clear Dead Bodies = 1 days (was 10) Merchant Restock = 1 day (was 2) Merchant Gold = Increased base gold by 10x If you would like to modify the file for your own personal use, these are the settings I changed with the Creation Kit: Game Settings... From the file menu on top, select game settings, and then type into the search box: fRemoveExcessDeadTime iHoursToRespawnCell iHoursToRespawnCellCleared iDaysToRespawnVendor Merchant Changes: I\'d recommend not touching the Thieves Guild Fence settings because it can screw up the Thieves Guild quests. Also try not to set the money to over 30,000 because it can cause a bug where you won\'t receive any money when selling items. On the search box on the left, type \"vendor\" and look for the following settings...
