📋 About This Mod

Now included in LEGO - Loot Economy Gear Overhaul.

Merchants sell items at their real/base/originally defined price. That's the same price you can see for an item in your inventory menu (except for your weapons&armor  - see Deleveled Gear Prices).

By removing that merchant price bloat (that could run up to a 540% increase over the real value) the shop prices are significantly reduced and fall in line with what's said in dialogues and practiced in quests. An emperor's generous reward might actually afford Geralt more than a couple of day's worth of food and booze.

Does not change prices for when you sell items to merchants, you still sell items for less than their base value.

Install:

Same as installing most other TW3 Mods. Avoid Vortex, TW3 Mod Manager recommended  if you need a manager. Place any \modxxx folders directly inside your <TW3 game install>\Mods (or \mods) folder, place any \dlcxxx folders directly inside your <TW3 game install>\dlc (or \DLC) folder. Merge everything with Script Merger + Script Merger Unofficial Patch.

How to install most simple TW3 Mods for newbies/klutzes:

First you gotta locate your The Witcher 3 game install location. Usually it's somewhere like "C:\GOG Games\The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt GOTY" for Good Old Games versions of the game or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Witcher 3" for Steam versions of the game.

Mod Limit Fix

Download, run/install it, run what it installed to be sure it's working

Enable the Debug Console: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/3375. Press the keys on your keyboard until you figure out which one activates the console.

After that you can install most mods by downloading them manually (VORTEX NOT RECOMMENDED WITH TW3 MODS, IT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE PROBLEMS). Extract their contents somewhere (rightclick on the downloaded mod file->extract) and then place their files&folders in the right places in your game install yourself OR let TW3 Mod Manager extract and place them correctly for you (Recommended).

If you're not using TW3 Mod Manager you need to make sure all of your mod's \modxxx folders end up directly inside your <TW3 game install>\Mods folder (or <TW3 game install>\mods, wherever your other mods are). If there's no mods folder in your TW3 game install f
