If your finding money worthless. get the cutthroat merchents mod and set it to very hard. Even Ebony weapons and amour sells for like 50-90g. And cost 10000+ to buy. Suddenly crafting 1000 iron daggers wont make you the richest person in skyrim when they only sell for 2g each...

Okay, where do you all get all this moneys? When I was playing the game, I'd sell damn near everything and even at level 40 I had like 500g. Every time I get more than that, I see something shiny and buy it and am back to square one...

I'm really good at managing my money in real life, I guess it seems suiting that in a video game I absolutely suck at it.

Most people who complain about money are the same people who spent hours making iron daggers and enchanting them to grind enchanting and smithing.

or just crafted all the gems into jewelry and sold that, never crafted a dagger, never enchanted, had 150000 gold by lvl 50.  Again the biggest problem is I never found anything worth spending money on besides houses and a bit of training

Only sold what I looted from dungeons, and I never run out of money.

I spend quite a bit of money on things like alchemy ingredients and cooking supplies, as well as keeping my companions kitted out in good gear.

I have hundreds if not thousands of ingredients (though I hardly ever make any potions myself, as you find and abundance of those as well) stored in my houses, and my companions armoured with loot from my enemies ;)

Ew, I wouldn't make them wear the tatty crap bandits were using, that's just gross. And I genereally leave potions I find in ancient tombs and such, they could be poisonous by this stage.

Actually, that wouldn't be a terible mod.

Some potions have a tiny chance of being a poison of the same type, and that chance is made larger if you found it in a tomb or somewhere where the potion would reasonably be quite old.

I just use my will to RP for such things, I need no gameplay incentive.

Yeah, no idea how my no-magic-type character can figure out every potion by just looking at it.

You can impose restrictions for yourself but wouldn't it be better to have mods for such things?

I have it for xbox, so no mods anyway. But not really, I have just as much fun with self imposed restrictions as I would with gameplay enforced ones.

 Like Dwarf Fortress :P

 I think a lot of us are just adverse to buying things. Some enchanted weapon in a store with an effect I have not found? Hrm, I could probably eventually find it anyway in dungeons perhaps, I'll skip it. Alchemy ingredients I don't have too much of? I can harvest those despite the harvest locations being out of my way, no sell. Spell books? Wear +Speechcraft amulets and drink +30% better price potions gotta get the BEST deals.

 This isn't that intense of a game chill out we ain't in some backwoods hellhole like Vvardenfell. Or some metropolis hellhole like Cyrodiil

We're in a frozen Hellhole, Skyrim.

So where's the next game gonna take place, you think?

 Either the swampy hellhole of Black Marsh, the desert hellhole of Hammerfell or the elf hellhole of Summerset
