About this mod
This mod aims to completely overhaul the economy in New Vegas by drastically lowering the value of (almost) every item in-game.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
The economy in Fallout New Vegas is busted, and if you're like me, you will find yourself lugging every single piece of loot you find to the nearest merchant in order to rob them blindly of all their caps.
This mod aims to fix this issue by drastically lowering the value of almost every item in order to make its cost immersive. Weapons and armour will no longer be valued at thousands of caps, preventing the player from being able to break the economy by selling loot at great profit. High tier items will still be valuable, but now you will have to think twice what is worth keeping. Caps earned from quest rewards and looted from containers will now be much more important.
All this is achieved through a script, which guarantees the most compatibility with other mods that may modify weapons. The values in the mod are meant to replicate the Fallout 3 game economy.
This mod should be used alongside Mojave Arsenal for GRA Integrations, GRA Unique Weapons Relocated to make unique weapons available to be found through EXPLORATION, Economy Overhaul in order to balance the economy around the new values, and Harder Barter Faster Stronger to balance the early game barter system. The Economy Overhaul preset included in this mod's optional files is highly recommended.
The game has still a few money sinks to spend your caps such as implants, upgrades to the Sink and Lucky38 upgrades.
This mod is safe to be installed and uninstalled at any point during your playthrough, every value can be customised in the gr_ItemValuesOverhaul.txt file in the Scripts folder. Patches for custom items can be added in the gr_IVOBlank.txt file. I have added a xEdit script useful for making custom patches for items introduced by mods. Beware, I have not tested the mod thoroughly for balance. Feel free to point out any inconsistency and suggestions in the comments.
