✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Straightforward mod that does exactly what it says—no bloat.
- Community-tested with 455 endorsements and 17,752 downloads.
- Great for players who want a tougher economy without overhaul mods.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019, so it may have compatibility issues with newer game versions.
- Only affects three specific items—mercenaries, horses, and houses—so its impact is limited.
- No detailed description, so you'll need to test it to see if the price changes fit your playstyle.
For players who find the base game's economy too forgiving and want a quick difficulty spike. If you're into role-playing as a struggling lord or merchant, this adds a bit of financial pressure. Skip if you prefer a relaxed sandbox experience or want more comprehensive economic overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple price tweak, it should be compatible with most mods, but always check for conflicts with other economy mods.
- If you're using a mod manager, install it manually to ensure it loads correctly.
- Test the new prices in a new save to avoid breaking your current game's economy.
