Skyrim How To Beat The Cost Of Living?
When we do new play as DB items food weapons is too expensive,so how do
we beat the cost of living in Skyrim? collecting and selling as much as can.

Grow Blue Mountain Flower, Glowing Mushroom, and Nightshade etc as they are value
the most i think? Do people take items of npc and sell early game how?
Cook food to etc?

What faction is best to visit to make most money thieves guild? what else?
Collecting plants etc as they don't weigh much and sell tons,make items to sell.

What else do? sure this is quick rich scheme?So eat food collect and take
not buying food and collecting grown food to save money on food and sell.
Fishing and hunting is good to eat and sell to make profit.
Think 40 hours in have tons of money.

So hope in ES 6 they don't have fast travel limit in day?How much do people
care to make tons of money in Skyrim? money should be power in Skyrim but its
not why to Dragon Born? How do people get tons of XP money early game? what
faction gives most XP money? or best do main quest for XP money?

How to beat anything in Skyrim ... with a big warhammer.

There is however little cost of living in Skyrim. There is no gas, no electricity, or water bill to pay, nor any taxes. And the rent at an inn is so cheap that one can pay for it by chopping wood for less than a minute a day. Food grows just about everywhere and is very easy to collect, catch or hunt.

Get the mod 'Unlimited Wood Chopping' lets you chop wood until you decide to quit not after 6 pieces. when you get to Riverwood start chopping at the block near the up ramp to the mill. Go do something irl for 2 or 3 hours, when you come back sell the fire wood and you can buy anything they got without having to ask how much.

Go into a crowded inn, Whiterun is good. get in sneak mode and auto walk into a corner. Sneaking levels even hiding from good guys, find something to do IRL for an hour or so and come back to several levels, and a good sneak skill.

By changing your metric.

Do not measure your fun in levels or coins. Measure it in hours.

Before you know it will you have played a thousand hours, and a thousand hours are a lot of fun.

In vanilla Skyrim alchemy is your best bet. Going to Halted Stream Camp to get Transmute Ore to craft jewelry can help too.

If you have Anniversary Edition then Goldenhills Plantation solves everything. You'll have more money and ingredients than you'd ever need. If you want to be lazy you can just grow Wheat 40-80 units at a time and haul it off to Rorikstead to sell for cash. Otherwise you can pump out alchemy potions by the dozens.

What cost of living?

In Skyrim:
You don't need to eat or sleep.
You don't have any taxes or utility bills.
Every expense is optional.....

So what cost of living?
