DirebearCoat Posted November 11 Share Posted November 11 So, I had been looking for a few mods that would make things a little easier in the game, quality of life type stuff, and I found a few that I wanted to share. I noticed that a few of these had low downloads, but I’ve got to say that they really made things a bit more convenient, and also added a bit of immersion. “Rich Skyrim Merchants,” originally uploaded in 2016, and updated in 2017. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1772?tab=files This mod has just over a million downloads, so many of you may be familiar with this one. Before this mod, I had to travel all over Skyrim, two or three times over, to sell off my loot, and even wait a couple of days (in game), before they had the money to buy more of my loot. Many times, some of the loot I’d sell them was over their budget. I’d have to buy Ebony Ingots from them to subsidize their ability to afford some of the items I wanted to sell to them, not a good deal for me. These guys are merchants. They buy low, and sell high. As the guys bringing in the loot, we aren’t really getting the full value of what the loot is worth. The merchants are selling this stuff for really high prices. Have any of you looked at what prices they put on stuff you sell them? It stands to reason that they should be rich, very rich. This mod gives them 2x, 3x, 4x, and 5x the original amount they start with. I decided to go with 2x. I still have to go to other towns, or wait the next day, but I’m not traveling to EVERY TOWN selling my stuff. There is a mod that does this with the Khajiit caravan merchants. “Rich Khajiit Caravan Merchants,” originally uploaded in early 2024. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/114524?tab=files This mod only has just a little over a thousand downloads. It requires “Rich Skyrim Merchants.” I haven’t tried it, yet, because of a tiny little detail. I posted a question about it, but there hasn’t been an answer to that question. Under the section named, “Virus Scan,” it says, “Some files not scanned.” If I can get an explanation for why that may be, or may NOT be an area of concern, I might be more inclined to download and try it. Speaking of Khajiit Caravans, I found two mods that really made the game a bit more spiffy! “Immersive Khajiit Caravan Mules,” originally uploaded in 2021, then updated a month later in the same year. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/49058?tab=description This mod has around four hundred and twelve thousand downloads. It really adds a bit of realism to watching the Khajiit travel the roads with all of their wares. It comes with options for what color you want their mules to be, I think there’s a donkey option, too. I went with the original option. “Khajiit Caravan Merchant Tracker,” originally uploaded in 2022, then updated in 2024. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/64889?tab=description This is a fantastic mod! Amazingly, it only has 746 downloads! There were times when I was trying to find the Khajiit caravans, so that I could buy stuff from them. This tracker helped with that. I was able to gauge where they would be, if I fast traveled to where I thought I would be near them, or whether I could just run cross country and intercept them on the road somewhere. If you haven’t tried these mods, I hope you’ll give them a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorrp10 Posted November 11 Share Posted November 11 Yeah, there are some mods that might be considered cheating, but they make life so much better. For example, a carry weight x100 mod. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7531Leonidas Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 I use Trade and Barter ( https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/23081 ) for merchant stuff. It allows you to set barter rates based on location and racial preferences, along with options to change how much money each class of merchant has. It adds a lot of flavor to those interactions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
