Currency, Coin, and Economy Revamp

This mod attempts to create a larger system of currency, and makes the barter system less drastic, which will allow players with high speech skill to buy and sell at a much more profitable rate. 4 new coins have been introduced. The lowest coin is the copper septim worth an absolute value of 1, then there are the dwemer, silver and gold coins. These higher coins are subject to the barter system but because the system is not as extreme you can actually buy more with them if you have good bartering skill.

Diclaimer: IF YOU HAVE A MOD THAT ALLOWS YOU TO SMELT SEPTIMS FROM OR TO GOLD BARS, PLEASE DON'T USE IT WITH THIS!! IT DOESN'T WORK RIGHT AND WILL IMBALANCE YOUR GAME!!

ALWAYS QUICKSAVE YOUR GAME BEFORE EXCHANGING LARGE AMOUNTS OF GOLD OR SILVER COINS.. THERE IS A HARCODED BUG WHEN YOU REACH THE HIGH LIMIT OF SEPTIM VALUE FOR A SINGLE TRANSACTION. To fix this end the transaction after 100 gold coins or more, rezone and open up another transaction with a refreshed zone.

Have you ever heard a bandit say "He won't get one rusty septim from me!"? Well gold doesn't rust, so obviously the coin system that came with the game is messed up, even the bandits know it!! HAHA!

Have you ever went into a dungeon and felt really depressed when you only ever found a few coins in the jars? Well with this mod you have a low chance of finding gold, silver and dwemer coins as loot. You can then use them as currency at vendors.

Gold and silver bars are worth more, but also take more ore to create.

The transmute gold ore books have been removed from the game to create balance. I have not taken the spell out, so if you have it you can use it but I seriously think it's a dumb spell and seriously imbalances the game. So please don't use it with this mod.

Some of the bugged gold ore mines in the world have been fixed.

In order to mint new coins you must take the Coin minting perks which take 50-75-100 smithing skill.

Dragons will have the highest chance to drop gold and silver coins, but the coins are scattered randomly in the world and you never know when you might find them.

If you want to change your bottom bar to read as "Septims" and not "gold" you can Copy this "Translate_ENGLISH" file from my google drive and put the file into your C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim\Data\Interface\

That's it for now, let me know if there are any bugs.

Everything in this mod is mine, except the Dwemer coins and the pearl necklace. The Dwemer coins were made by InsanitySorrow, not sure who made the pearl necklace. I hope you like it.


Large Update! May 31, 2015

4 new money changers are available in Whiterun, Solitude, Windhelm, and Markarth. They will buy and sell coins, gems, and Ingots.

2 new Perks are available in the Speechcraft tree. The first level of "Money Changer Discount " is available without any skill in speechcraft and gives a 25% discount, the second level of the perk gives a 50% discount and requires 25 skill in speechcraft. When you get the second level you basically get coin exchanges at the absolute value of the coins.

Coins now weigh 1 pound for every 1000 coins you have. So make sure to exchange your regular septims whenever you can to lower the weight in your bags. Honestly I felt that 1 pound for every 100 coins was more realistic, but I choose to go with the less troublesome number.

Pro tip: I have found some load order compatability problems.. If you have a mod that changes the weight of objects in the game, such as "Lighter Supplies Materials ETC" or "Weightless Gems" please load that higher than my mods as my mods have extensive reworking of the same items. Thanks.
