📋 About This Mod
Adura’s Merchant Mod v0. 4: Original File
I have ported this with the consent given on Adura's Merchant Mod FAQs!
which states:
Q: Can I make my own version and/or make a copy for myself on Skyrim SE?
A: Sure, knock yourself out! You may post a public version, so long as you credit me for the original version and note that yours is an adaptation in the description.
The files I have used for the Port are from Sku11M0nkey's Breezehome Fully Upgradeable
I used Sku11M0nkey's file due to it relocating the Whiterun Stand and therefore making it more compatible with more Mods that make changes to Breezehome.
All I have done is:
Extract/recompile the .bsa, Form 44'd the .esp, Sorted the Masters, checked that there aren't any Dirty Edits & re-compressed to . 7z I have also added an additional download for meshes omitted from the original mod.
I have also changed the weights of the NPC's introduced by the mod to 35 (I have not touched Housecarls weights).
I have done this to stop the black face bug that I always experienced with this mod, no matter where it was in my load order.
If someone can tell me why I shouldn't do this then I am all ears...
So far I have only purchased the Whiterun stand, I failed in getting Lydia to attend it (as expected) however the hireling attended the stand without issue, and sales & income have been made & received.; So afaik everything seems to be WAI - quirks and all, I will continue to to test and update accordingly.
Apparently this mod is incompatible with the following:
Open Cities
JK's Skyrim
Drinking Fountains of Skyrim
Live Another Life: If you choose to start owning a property in a hold then the option to purchase a stand isn't available; not sure if some other requirements need to be met to unlock the purchase afterwards...
Original Mod Description:
Do you ever get tired of running out of merchants to sell your items to? Have you ever wanted to open up a shop or merchant stand within the wide world of Skyrim? Are you dissatisfied with the in-game spouse shops?
Well then, you've come to the right place!
Buy and run your own stand. Sell your own items and set up a wondrous display. Become the shop owner and merchant you've always wanted to be.
Brief:
Okay so what does this mod actually do...
This mod allows you to buy a total of 4 Market Stands which are located in Whiterun, Solitude, Riften & Windhelm.
You MUST own a property in the city before you can purchase a stand.
Once you own a property speak* to the "Master of Commerce"? located in the Jarl's Residence to buy your stand.
Once purchased, your stand is added to the game:
Adura's Merchant Mod (SSE Port) lets Skyrim Special Edition players who own property in Whiterun, Riften, Windhelm, or Solitude buy a merchant stand. As your Merchant Skill rises, you can sell more valuable items and specialize the stand. A niche economy mod with 435 endorsements, last updated in December 2018.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Adds a new way to make money in Skyrim, perfect for role-playing merchants.
- Community-approved with 435 endorsements and over 21k downloads.
- Works in four major cities, giving you options for where to set up shop.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018, so it may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim updates or mods.
- No mention of patches for popular mods like USSEP or city overhauls, so expect potential conflicts.
- The description cuts off mid-sentence, leaving some features unclear.
For Skyrim players who enjoy economy and role-playing mods, especially those who want to run a merchant business. If you're looking for combat or quest content, this isn't for you. Skip if you prefer vanilla-style trading without extra mechanics.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you own a property in one of the four cities before trying to buy a stand.
- Invest in Speech and Merchant perks to boost your Merchant Skill faster.
- If you use a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
