About this mod Machine translation
Potions made by payers are worth a fortune. This mod reduces the price they sell for without affecting the price of potions sold by merchants.
I like the idea of "less valuable alchemy", but I noticed that it is incompatible with unofficial patches and will override unofficial fixes for potions. This mod was made to reduce the value of player-made potions while retaining the changes made by unofficial patches. It reduces the value of player-made potions by a total of 75%.
Q&A:
Q: Do I want to be paid less?
Answer: Why are all those good businessmen being driven out of business?
Q: Have you met most of Skyrim's merchants? One tried to buy my sister or something and another offered me £5 for retrieving a legendary artifact from an entire tomb of angry zombies who kept shouting the sword out of my hand?
A: Sure sell some family members into slavery and suddenly everyone is judging you. Five pieces of gold is much more than your worth bob. That's why I made this mod, so merchants will pay you closer to what you're worth.
Q: Is a 75% price reduction a bit excessive?
Answer: No. The money you can make from potions is so good that even with fewer potions, it will still be one of the easiest ways to support a quick separation.
Q: Doesn't this make Alchemy level up slower since the value of the brewed potion depends on how much experience you gain?
A: Well, that would be a more accurate description of your learning ability.
Recommended modules:
I do this for use with "Order My Items". Order My Items lets you pay farmers to collect alchemy or blacksmithing materials for you without having to do it yourself. I like the mod idea as it reduces the uselessness of gold, but with the vanilla pricing of player-made potions, it becomes a mod that makes the mod easier, rather than the mod giving you some money to spend the gold.

I loved the idea of "less valuable alchemy" however I noticed it wasn't compatible with the unofficial patch and would override the fixes the unofficial patch made to potions. This mod was made to reduce the value of player made potions while keeping the changes the unofficial patch makes. It reduces the value of player made potions by 75% in total.
Q and A:
Q: While would I want to be paid less?
A: Why do you want to put all those nice merchants out of business bob >:(
Q: Have you meet most of Skyrim's merchants? One was trying to buy my sister or something, and the other paid me 5 gold for retrieving a legendary artifact from a entire crypt of angry zombies who kept shouting the sword out of my hand?
A: O sure sell a few family members into slavery and suddenly everyone judges you. And five gold is way more then your worth Bob. That's why I made this mod, so the merchants would pay you closer to what you're worth.
Q: Isn't a 75% reduction in price a little excessive?
A: Not really. The amount of money you can make from potions is so OP that even with this cut back it will still be one of the easiest ways to back a quick septim.
Q: Wont this also make level up alchemy slower as the value of the potions to brew depends on how much exp you get?
A: Well then it will be a more acurate representation of your learning ability bob.

I made this with the intent of using it with "order my items". "Order my items" lets you pay peasants to gather raw alchemy or smithing materials for you instead of doing it yourself. I love the idea of the mod as it makes gold less useless, but with vanilla pricing of player made potions, it became a mod that made making gold even easier instead of a mod to give you something to spend your gold on.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
