Introduction
Read the change log, everything this mod does in its current state is listed there. Version 0.3.0 is a huge update and much closer to my final vision

Note that this is a work in progress and is missing many planned features therefore it may cause unforeseen issues.

I've been sitting on Starfield Economy Adjustment (SEA) for a long time, but have plans to continue work on it now. SEA will be a comprehensive mod that brings a touch of realism to your Starfield experience. I've meticulously adjusted the weights and values of all items in the game to mirror their real-world counterparts. From weapons to minerals to space suits and miscellaneous items, every aspect of the economy will be revamped.

Planned Features
Real World Weights: All items in the game now have weights that reflect their real-world counterparts.
Real World Values: The value of all items has been adjusted to reflect real-world prices.
Real World Rewards: Carrying 500kg of spoons across the settled systems should pay more than $1000
Comprehensive Coverage: SEA adjusts the weights and values of all items in the game, including weapons, armor, clothing, and miscellaneous items. It also changes quest rewards, vendor prices, leveled lists, and anything else related to the Starfield economy.

Installation Guide
Preferably use Mod Organizer 2 or Vortex. Install as you would anything else
I have zero chance of predicting how installing this on an existing save will impact your game. You have different mods, different play style, etc... It could be fine, it could completely break your economy

Manual Installation
Manually Download the mod.
Unzip the contents into %userprofile%\Documents\My Games\Starfield\Data.
Download and install Plugins.txt Enabler.
Create a Plugins.txt file in %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Starfield if you don't have one and add *StarfieldEconomicAdjustment.esm to it.
