Name: Skooma Deals
Version: 3.0
Date: 03/12/11
Requirements: Real-Time Interactions
Author: PrettyMurky
Description
===================================
Buy and sell skooma, and have others do it for you. If you think that this mod 'glorifies drug dealing', then just stick to the thieves guild and the Dark Brotherhood, as they are clearly far better moral lessons for your kids. This mod is intended as a roleplaying vehicle, it gives you a reason to talk to random NPCs and thus discover whatever quests or information they are offering.
This mod runs through, and is controlled via, my Real-Time Interactions mod (which was itself inspired by mechanics I discovered were possible through making V2 of Skooma Deals).
Details
===================================
---Selling---
Once you have some skooma, you can try and sell it to NPCs. Your success chance, and the price they are willing to pay, is based upon a number of factors, including disposition, responsibility, speechcraft, mercantile, and many more. Its always best to raise their disposition first, and if your skills are low, it will be much harder to sell at a high price. Keep selling regularly enough to someone, and they'll become more addicted, meaning they'll buy & use more each day in future. If they go for too long without skooma, their addiction will start to decrease. However whilst the NPC dealers in their town are still alive and dealing, this will be delayed.
NOTE: If the guards, catch you they will try to arrest you.
---Buying---
This mods sets a number of vanilla NPCs in each of Cyrodil's cities to deal skooma. For the most part, they wont openly offer it to you, unless you have heard about them through a rumor, or until you try and sell some to them. However in Bravil, both Roxanne Brigette & Nordinor will sell to you from the start. The larger-scale dealers will only sell to you once you have sold enough skooma yourself. Each dealer has limited stock, which will refresh every few days.
--- HAVING OTHERS SELL FOR YOU ---
Sell enough skooma, and you can ask one of your more addicted customers to sell to that town for you. If they like you enough and agree, you will first have to decide how much you want you want them to sell each skooma for, this affects how many skoomas the NPC is likely to be able to sell. You also have to agree on how much money they will get to keep from each sale. Next you will need to give them skooma to sell, up to a max of 250. After this, it is up to them. Come back atleast a day later, and see how money they've made for you! The amount they sell will be based on the customer base that you built up in their town, as well as any new customers you add as you go on. The amount your dealer sells will also be affected by any alive rival dealers in their town.
This mod also sets the merchant value of skooma to 0. This is to stop merchants in game buying & selling it through the normal process, it is supposed to be illegal after all. Any skooma in your possision will be flagged as stolen, and as such will be confiscated if you are arrested.
If you want to add in towns from other mods, this can be done so via the ini files. 'AreaPrefix' is derived from the shared root of the town's cell names, 'Economy' is to do with how much they'll be willing to pay; these values are both added through 'RealTimeInteractions.ini'. 'SkoomaLike' affects how likely the people there are to want skooma; this value is added into 'pmsdSkoomaDeals.ini'. You can look at the values for the existing towns to get an idea of what might be appropriate for any new ones you wish to add.
