📋 About This Mod
The Dragonborn is a legendary Smith twice over. She has hundreds of thousands of septims cluttering up her manor. The reason she doesn't have a second manor? A shortage of nails, iron fittings and locks. Could she craft more? Sure... if she could find some more ore.
I have plenty of mods that add more crafting materials to vendor lists, but still the shortage is enough to irritate me - especially if I don't want to fast travel all over the map every two days hoarding ore like some kind of frenzied packrat. I don't like the idea of simply getting more 'free' ore from mining. Besides, the Dragonborn is rolling in cash, she should be slaying mighty beasts, not grubbing in a cave for ore.
Yes, this is the original Mine Foreman Sell Ore mod, now for SE/AE, and in THREE tasty flavours for your enjoyment!
Flavour One: The Regular Version
This version has no other requirements, but is designed for people who use the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch. In this version Grogmar and Filnjar of Shor's Stone sell iron.
Flavour Two: Vanillatastic!
This version has no other requirements, and is designed for people who do not use the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch OR use a mod that reverses the changes to Shor's Stone. In this version, Grogmar and Filnjar of Shor's Stone sell ebony.
Flavour Three: Complete Crafting Overhaul Remade Version
This version requires the Complete Crafting Overhaul Remastered. It is the same as the Regular Version, but Instead of a low chance of regular gems at the vendors, this mod adds a low chance of the rough version of gems, including the new gems added by CCOR.
What Exactly Do the Mine Foremen Sell?
- A random amount of the ore available from their mine. Anywhere from 50-150 chunks, but usually around 100-120. Iron mines also sell a small amount of charcoal.
- A random amount of ingots made from the local ore. Significantly less than the amount of ore, and the more valuable the ore, the less ingots are available. Iron mines also have a random chance to sell a small number of steel ingots.
- A low chance of gems associated with their ore.
Gem-Ore associations are the same as Complete Crafting Overhaul Remastered
Regular Version (Includes an extremely low chance of flawless gems):
[]Iron = Garnet
[]Corundum = Ruby, Sapphire
[]Silver = Amethyst, Emerald
[]Orchialum = Sapphire
[]Gold = Garnet, Amethyst, Ruby, Emerald
[]Quicksilver = Amethyst, Ruby
[]Moonstone = Amethyst, Emerald
[]Malachite = Garnet, Diamond
[]Ebony = Garnet, Diamond
CCOR Version:
[]Iron = Rough Opal, Rough Onyx,Rough Garnet, Rough Peridot, Rough Aquamarine

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and useful for crafters who need ore without dungeon crawling (153 endorsements).
- Fits the immersion theme by making mine foremen logical ore suppliers.
- Lightweight mod with no heavy scripts or performance impact.
⚠️ Cons
- May conflict with mods that overhaul mine foremen or vendor inventories.
- Limited scope—only affects ore and ingot sales, not other mining-related features.
- Not updated since 2021, so compatibility with newer Skyrim updates or DLC is unverified.
For Skyrim players who enjoy crafting and smithing but hate trekking to every mine to gather ore. Also for immersion fans who want a more logical economy. Skip if you prefer overhaul mods that add entire new mining systems.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place this mod in your load order after any mods that alter mine foremen to avoid overwriting changes.
- If you use a mod manager, enable the plugin and check that it loads after other vendor-related mods.
- Test by visiting a mine foreman (e.g., in Embershard Mine) to see if the new items appear in their inventory.
