realistic septims coins weight


Signur

Recommended Posts

Hi,

It always disturbed me to carry tons of coins with me accross Tamriel.

I'm used to stash most of my coins in my house, only keeping on me what i would consider a realistic ammount of money (around 1000 coins) excepted when i'm going shopping.

I made some calculation (out of sheer curiosity) about the septims coins.

A Septim measure roughly ø17.78mm and 2.54mm high. it's a cylinder so
Pi x radius² x hight. 3.14 x ( 17.78 x 17.78 ) x 2.54 = 2521.31mm³.

Assuming a septim would be at least 90% gold and filled with lesser metals (let's assume 5% silver, 5% copper) and we have a total weight of : 46.31g

I already searched for a mod that modify the weight value. i found somme who give 100 coins a value of 1 (0.01 per coins) and another who give 1000 coins a value of 1 (0.001 pers coins).

a normal iron sword in skyrim weight 9Sw (skyrim weight , bulls*** unit from bethesda...). In reality an iron sword would have an average weight of 2.5 kilos. If 2.5kg = 9Sw then 1kg = 0.27Sw. 1g would be 0.000278Sw. Let's round it to 0.0003Sw per grams. 0.0003 x 46.31 = 0.013893, let's round it a 0.02.

as an exemple that would make a 1000 coin weight 20Sw.

does anybody could make a simple mod making coin weight 0.02Sw each ?

(as for price rate and balancing, i'm using several mods that allow me to tweak how much coins are found and the price rates so i can manage that part on my own)

thanks in advance.

best regards

That would very easy to make so easy infact that you coudl make it yourself.

 

yes, i as explained i did. but each time the modder made up a value.

 

I would like to have the exact value i detailled before.

Do you know a good tutorial or can you explained a little bit ? I tried to find a way but i suck with the creation kit...

 

I first though of taking the first coin weight mod i could find and then modify the value in it. I failed miserably.
