More NPC Pocket Money

More NPC Pocket Money

by Michiko

There is now a version 2, which uses SPID: More NPC Pocket Money 2! I decided to keep them separate as they work very differently. They're also compatible with each other.

Description:

Very simple mod that adds a little bit of pocket money to NPCs. This is in addition to any pocket money they already have in the vanilla game.

If you want the classic Skyrim version, it's here. I brought the mod to SSE, properly converted to work with Special Edition (form 44) and given the ESP FE flag so it shouldn't take up a slot in your load order.

It comes in three flavours:

Standard is how much money I feel the various NPCs might have if they're in a shopping or tavern-hopping mood based on the value of gold in the game. Expected ranges of money involve a few hundred gold for middle-class folk, and up to the low thousands for rich people. I recommend this version if you're using mods like Your Market Stall or similar mods where you can act as a merchant.

More Money is roughly double that much (high hundreds for middle-class, possibly in the thousands for rich folk). This is also good for merchant gameplay, but the money they have could be too much for some people. Still, if you want to try selling treasures, enchanted equipment, etc., this may be the flavour that you want.

Less Money is about half of Standard, ranging from just a little bit more than vanilla up to the low hundreds for middle class and high hundreds for rich people. This is the version I recommend if you aren't using mods for selling to NPCs and just want a little more money on your pickpocketing victims or something.

I actually really made this mod for the Your Market Stall mod, but this is stand alone and doesn't require that. The problem was there wasn't a lot of people buying any of the more expensive items (like rare armors and gems) because they didn't have enough money, making it sorta meaningless to even display those items in your store.

This is also ideal for thief-type characters, if you like pickpocketing NPCs in towns for example.

The amounts added are pretty random despite the expected ranges I said up there. For example, you might see among middle-class people that one person has 45 gold and the other has 216. A rich person might have 471 gold and another might have 1203. I don't like extremely predictable values so I tried to keep everything fairly random. Mathematically it's possible for them to spawn with 0 additional gold, though highly un
