About this mod
Reduces the amount of bottlecaps and wares that vendors have available down to 10% (configurable via MCM)
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
What does it do?
All vendors have their stock and bottlecaps heavily reduced. Vendors may be out of stock for items that they would otherwise regularly have, and bartering is going to involve more exchanges of wares rather than bottle caps. Hoarding large amounts of valuables should become less of a viable strategy, since they can't be turned into caps as easily anymore.
Only the main game vendors are currently affected, I may add DLC vendors later as separate optional plugins
IMPORTANT: The mod will have to be manually enabled ingame via MCM, right after the desired percentage of vendor stock has been set, until then it will not go into effect.
How does it work?
No changes to vendor records have been made. The reduction is performed by a script, that deletes a set portion of the inventory every time the game restocks the vendors. It's safe to uninstall at any time, however vendors that have had reductions will retain them until the next time they are resupplied, which is every Sunday and Wednesday.
The only conflicts this mod may have is with those, that change the merchant resupply schedule (i.e. the iMerchantRespawnDayX game settings), since those are used to detect, when an inventory reduction should occur. I know that atleast Daily Vendor Restock is likely to break this mod, and I may decide to reimplement its functionality as an option for this mod, since I don't think it's possible to reconcile them otherwise.
Potential Issues
The mod works with a manually maintained list of vendor chests, and as such it is entirely possible that I may have missed out on adding a couple. If you believe to have found a vendor who isn't affected by the reduction, do let me know. However you have to keep in mind that alot of vendors sell loose items that exist within their own cell, such as Chet in the Goodsprings General Store*. The mod only touches vendor's owned chests, but not anything else.
* You can steal stuff in his store, and it will stop being available for purchase. Items that he sells you may also disappear from his store
Other mods that play nice with this
Kill Merchants Get Loot
Now that vendors don't carry two mall's worth of stuff on them, killing and looting them isn't quite as ridiculously profitable.
Complex Vendors
In addition to not buying a ridiculous amount of items from you, vendors are now also really picky about what they want.
Caravan Travel (or any other Fast Travel alternative or restriction)
Reaching vendors is now more difficult, so you will have to reconsider if you really want to be lugging around all those Dinky T-Rexes for a quick profit.
