🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod has an SE version or use the Nexus Mods 'Mod Manager Download' button for automatic installation.
Choose the 10x multiplier if you're a heavy looter; 2x is more balanced for a vanilla-like experience.
Load order doesn't matter much for this mod, but place it after other economy mods to ensure your changes take effect.
