TenShadows Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I've fully upgraded all my castles and lairs and bought every house in every town, so what else is there to do with all this money? I'm getting outrageously wealthy and it no longer means anything because I've got nothing left to use it on. I'm in the process of buying all the special items from all the merchants, and that's not going to last long either. Anything out there that'd give me a whole bunch of dumb stuff to buy?

IcelandicPsychotic Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 This mod might be what you're looking for. I've never tried it myself so I can't attest to its quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanR Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) Well, you must be very lucky man, if your only problem is how to spend money :laugh:. But seriously, Oblivion is one of RPG's which suffers from what I'd call "richman's poverty" - suddenly number representing an amount of your gold has no value as there's no point or something forcing you to spend them. For me hoarding items has no point either, what i could do with them? But there are other possible ways with mods, like: Gambling route: Gamblers of Cyrodiil or Imperial City Casino (this one is truly ancient) - I don't like this idea much. Merchant route: Trade and Commerce - owning a shop will make you at least care about how to pay your taxes. "Survival" route: Basic Primary Needs - maybe too complex, but it will force to spend money for food, drink and hygiene items. I didn't tried them though.

TenShadows Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 I've got Basic Primary Needs, and the money spent on the stuff is almost nil. I buy a lot of bread and cheese for my alchemy anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcelandicPsychotic Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Do you use Enhanced Economy? I feel the money side of things is much more balanced when playing with that mod. It has a "hardcore" setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamerRick Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I use OOO and Enhanced economy. In my current play-through I cranked the EE settings up and editted the ini files that have the price data in them. I massively reduced the prices of things over 2000. For example, I set the Daedric Cuirass value to 1200. The price of the houses is a lot more, but I made the IC Watershack 4000, so it wouldn't much of an ordeal to buy my first house. It definitely made the game more challenging at first. I am now level 44 and have near 1,000,000,000 gold and own all of the houses, Including Frostgrag. But once I get to level 25 or so, I find more items than I can sell, and there's nothing to spend the money on, since you'll find better things playing the game than any of the merchants sell. I have come to the conclusion that I need to either become a politician or philanthropist to spend that much money in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenShadows Posted September 29, 2022 Author Share Posted September 29, 2022 I do use Enhanced Economy. I may have to give the hardcore settings a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
