Have you tried droppng some or putting it in a chest, etc? Have you tried an earlier save before it went negative, when it was positive?

How can one drop gold? It's not selectable in inventory and it can't be given to anyone. Just curious.

What happens when you add gold back in? Does the negative number decrease any? If it's at say -50000, can you just add 50000 again to get back to zero?

Tip of day, dont use console for cheating.
If you have one safe or simular you can put gold in them.

Really? How do you put money in a safe? And why would you want to, since gold is weightless in Skyrim?

I dont put anything in one safe, I refuse to be robbed so :)
But you can do that.

Because mods like Death Alternative can rob about 90% of all the gold you are carrying (or 100%, in my case) and even releave you from all or most of your gear.

I always have stashes in safe places around Skyrim. Player homes are more like safe houses to me, where my character can run in butt naked, swearing like seasick sailor in a stream pool - and soon appear armed to the teeth, mumbling something about "blanching that little **** in Silent Moons Camp."

Them cheaters just don't know how to roleplay.

But to be helpful: You've basically made the integer implode, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_overflow

So, how to fix it? Just add more gold. It will swap back to positive.

Wow, learn something new every day. Or, in Skyrim's case, just about every time I log onto the discussion forums. I like to consider myself an experimenter, and a fairly observant person, but I'm now starting to wonder.

I have never seen gold listed in my inventory, had no idea I could move it around like a regular inventory item, didn't know I could drop it either. I sorta knew there were some mods that traded money for life, but I guess I've just never encountered any situation in my games, modded or vanilla, where I lost a bunch of money.

Thanks for the info.

EbonHawk you know now that you should learn 3 new things every day for the rest of your life, old tale.

it's quite amusing to see that integer overflow problem outside of programming and actually applicated :)
