In times of war, and in a harsh and unforgiving world like Skyrim, you rarely find rich people. The overwhelming majority are below the poverty line. This is not really in line with what we find in the game, the reward system is poorly implemented, everyone unrealistically has a lot of money although they are talking about their suffering and poverty. This, after a short time, will make you very rich and you will not find any value for the money you have, and eventually you can buy anything you want and still have money in your pocket.
This mod tries fix this problem without changing too much.

Favors are a variety of miscellaneous quests that typically involve doing a small errand for the quest giver, things like collecting non-unique items (chopping woods or mining ores), or delivering items from quest givers to other NPCs, and other favors of this sort. These have much lower gold rewards, almost half of the lowest normal quest reward.
This is now optional as a stand-alone plugin, so now you have the option whether to install it without any of the main files. Main files don't include this.
