📋 About This Mod
Become A Skooma Dealer by MimiTheAlchemist
Ported to SSE by MissChevus
This is not my own work. I only ported the original mod so people who
have SSE can use it. Thanks to MimiTheAlchemist who released her
mods to the public. For more info on her mod permissions, click here.
Description:
Are you tired of the thieves guild's repetitive, low-paying jobs? Well, throw away your lockpicks and sneaky boots! Now you can pursue an alternate career in crime. Make your own illegal substances and peddle them across Skyrim.
Make and sell such substances as:
Double-Distilled Skooma
Redwater Skooma
Sleeping tree sap
Balmora Blue
Panacea Skooma
Blood Skooma
Double-Distilled Skooma and Balmora Blue require alchemy perks to become craftable.
You will have to find out which kind of skooma each client wants. This may seem like trial and error at the beginning, but you will get the hang of it. With every sale you make, you earn a small increase in your speechcraft skill.
Those dumb enough to sell to a guard are sent directly to jail. This may not happen in all holds, but it definitely happens in the larger holds.
Sometimes there is a bug where you are stuck in Cidna Mine, the jail in Markarth. To serve your time enter the console code "servetime" without quotes.
A little Story:
Bella, now in her teens, has been introduced to Skooma by a fellow Khajiit named Lu'ki the Unfortunate. (Soon to be featured in my next mod, Winterhold rebuilt) Although Bella isn't that fond of the substance herself, she asked Lu'ki how does one become a skooma dealer. Lu'ki told her how to boil it up in a cooking pot and which ingredients make the different types of skooma. After meeting with her friend Lu'ki, Bella heads to the nearest cooking pot. "if I can do this right, I'll never have to beg again.", Bella thinks to herself.
Bella couldn't believe how easy it was to make this stuff. Even though the ingredients were a little expensive, Bella believes that she will be able to make enough money to buy a home of her own. That was her wish ever since she was sent to Honorhall. With a bottle of every kind in her pockets, Bella boards the carriage to Solitude to try her luck at Skooma dealing. Once there, she spots a lady wearing peasant clothes lurking around the market stalls. Bella walked up to her, and recited the line that Lu'ki had taught her. "Need a fix?", Bella said in a hushed tone. The woman turned towards Bella with a hateful look on her face.
Dejected, Bella made her way to the inn. She spotted a man wearing fancy clothes sitting at a table with his friend. Bella whispered her line in his ear. He referred to her Skooma as "swill" and asked if she had any balmora blue. Bella was happy she had made a batch of balmora
