📋 About This Mod
Increased Contraband Prices
The idea of having illegal ideas where you have to find the right place to sell and authorities being able to scan for them was
interesting but the value of them are just way too low. After the prices get slashed because you're selling them they're only worth around 1000
credits that with the hassle of trying to even find a place to sell them they're practically not even worth take as you'll make more
money off the guns and suits from dead enemies.
This mod increases the base price of contraband to x2, x5, or x10 the original value to make them actually worth picking up.
Installation
1. Extract the zip file and add the "IncreasedContrabandPrices.esp" to your Data folder or install via Vortex
2. in your StarfieldCustom.ini add the following lines
sTestFile1=IncreasedContrabandPrices.esp
3. if you have more mods you'll have to increase the number, like sTestFile2, sTestFile3. ect

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite (1,117 endorsements) — clearly fills a need for smugglers
- Three price multipliers let you pick your risk-reward balance
- Tiny mod, no bloat — does exactly what it says
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2023 — may not be compatible with the latest Starfield patches
- Only affects contraband prices, so if you wanted more smuggling content, this won't add it
For Starfield players who want smuggling to actually pay off without grinding. If you're a space rogue who loves sneaking past scanners, this is a must-have. Skip if you're fine with vanilla prices or want more complex smuggling mechanics.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Pick the multiplier that fits your playstyle — 2x is a gentle boost, 10x makes contraband a serious income source.
- Make sure to place the file in your Starfield Data folder or use a mod manager to avoid conflicts.
- Test with a single contraband item to confirm the price change before relying on it for big hauls.
