Weighted Gold

Description
Quite simply, this mod adds weight to gold. The weight added is 1 per 100 gold in the inventory. This is designed to give a balance between realism and vanilla Skyrim, because if it was too realistic, let's face it, there would be no way you could carry over 50000 gold coins without help. (Of course, if you had that amount of gold, you should be able to hire servants for that, but alas, there are no decent servants in Skyrim) And vanilla Skyrim... Well, I get slowed down by potions weighing 0.5 weight (which is a bit much, but there are mods for that) , yet I can carry a million gold coins without breaking a sweat. Bethesda, something went wrong. I recommend using this with a banking mod, but keep in mind the mod may have a weighted gold element to it already. If you prefer this however, just put this last in the mod's load order, and ths will take priority over any other mods that make changes to gold.

If it is possible using Creation Kit, I plan to make a separate mod that adds different coins to Skyrim, worth different amounts. (For example: one coin worth 20 gold coins, but with a weight smaller than that of 20 gold, therefore making sense to carry larger denominations of coinage) Eventually this may develop into a fully fledged banking mod, but, as I am a total n00b at this whole modding thing, I will have to learn some scripting. And that may take a while. Of course, if you are interested in any future projects, favorite or follow me on my Workshop Page:

And, as always, if you like the mod, rate and comment!!!
Thank You!

Why would you get this mod without something like bank notes. Daggerfall had this in the game but to conteract it you could carry around bank notes with you and get a bank note for a 1% fee

It's not helpful, it's realistic. A bit... Some players prefer that and personally this idea deserves +rep.
