Description

===========

Gives actors daily payment depending on social status and class-level.

 

 

Details

=======

I really liked the idea of playing a courtesan type character but got extremely frustrated about payment. LoversAdultplayplusplusforSSP checks if at last 10 Septims are in the customer’s inventory. If this is not the case, you get :’I am afraid I cannot afford….’. Furthermore if your customer can pay you, he will never get new Septims. No customer retention possible.

 

With this mod the actors (townsfolk, bandits, necromancers, vampires etc.) get their earnings daily. The formula takes the ClothingValue as basis for the social status/wealth and multiplies this value (1.00-100.00) with a factor (can be easily changed in the ini-file). Furthermore you have the choice to include the class-level of the character into the calculation which is also multiplied by a factor (can also be set in ini). You can set how many daily wages the actors are allowed to have in their pockets (so that they won’t hoard extremely large sums). Also you can set an amount to define a size of the money sack. If you don’t want anybody to be paid who has more than 200 Gold, you can do this. This mod does not take money away. It adds money or not.

 

Formula:

Daily Wage: (ClothingValue * Basemultiplier(default 2.0)) + (Level * Levelmultiplier(default 1.2))

Example:

Beggar -> (6*2.0)+(2*1.2) =14.4 Septims

Alberic Litte (Chorrol Mage) -> (18*2.0)+(20*1.2) = 60 Septims

Erana (in front of Chorrol Mages Guild, Level = PC+5) -> (45*2.0)+(LVL*1.2)=Level5: 96 Septims, Level 20: 114 Septims, etc.

Count Indarys of Cheydinhal -> (63*2)+(10*1.2)=138 Septims

 

The frequency how often the script is processed can be set in the ini as well.

I HAVE NO GREETING

 

Thanks man, will definitely try this next time i play oblivion.

[Ragged Robin]

Brilliant idea. I really like the straight forward, "does what it says on the can" mods like this.

Do you reckon it might be mergeable with LoversAdultplayplusplusforSSP?

[RogueMage]

Thanks

This mod is totally independent from LoversAdultplayplusplusforSSP. You could run it without any other mod (Vanilla). I only wrote it my courtesan character and LoversAdultplayplusplusforSSP in mind. You could also use it to make pickpocketing more profitable.

 

 

[Ragged Robin]

D'oh!

All I had to do was think for a minute and check out dependencies in Wrye Bash and I could have worked that out for myself. This wasn't one of my finer moments here.

Anyway, this mod works very well. First rate for a reliable income.

[Meatbull]

I love the idea of the mod. Always wanted to try playing the game by mostly making money by whoring my characters out, but it always seemed pointed cause everyone was dirt poor. Thanks a lot.

[Guest]

Holy crap this sounds great!

[Daguy]

Much appreciated, this s a generally useful mod. =)

[Meatbull]

If this mod isn't required to have Lovers activated to run, might wanna release it on TESNexus. This helps with those that like to play thief characters in their games. Combined with Oblivion XP, you have a decent way of leveling your character at low levels.

[uglycat]

this is brilliant! this mod was definitely needed, as you could work a town dry and have to move on to another spot. now NPCs are a renewable resource!

 

thanks for this!

Might wanna not mention Loverslab in your file description. As much as you (or anyone else, for that matter. (me too)) may like this place, mentioning loverslab, friends and lovers, xlover or lovers with PK on the nexus can result in a nasty case of permaban.

Rewrote the most part of the readme but forgot to take out the thanks and contact. Just dumped it all and cleaned the evidence. Than uploaded it again. Should have made up myself after reading around in the banning-game-thread. It's a pity that they are so prudish/intolerant concerning adult stuff. Got a lot people of LoversLab banned?

 

Thx for the warning btw.

[Hitman69]

Well, I don't know how many of us got banned (not me, fortunately for me), but they have a zero-tolerance policy, regarding lovers. And I mean ZERO-tolerance.

[HanPL]

Mentioning anything about LoversPK or anything related to it = Perma Ban on Nexus.

same thing with rape,loli posting nude pictures and many other things...

This is becasue of new (well not so new now ) host which don't allow anything like that to be posted or even talked about.

Thanks to that Darkone nice $$ from ads etc.

[Meatbull]

Huh, didn't know about the lovers ban thing on Nexus. Is that the reason why the adult book store mod has been under review for so long? Been waiting for the thing to lift so I could get another mod for the Claudia's Little Secret Crossover

One thing I'd like to mention for this mod is I THINK you might want to look at some of the money distribution. NPCs like Marauders and bandits tend to end up with enough money to unbalance the early game. If you can find a way you might want to just not give as much or any to them somehow, maybe by faction checking or something similar.

Yesterday I started a new game and soon recognized that the default values I put in the ini are to high. I'am still adjusting but now I am going with:

RMBaseMultiplier 1.25

RMDailyIncome.RMLevelFactor 0.60

RMMaxPocketSize 300

 

So far it looks much more reasonable. But you are right with the faction thing. One guy on nexus pointed out that the guards are to 'rich' and the nobility is to poor. Unfortunately the ClothingValue does not make a difference between clothing and armor. I already thought about building something in and also looked into the factions. Scripting a decision between factions is technically not the big issue. If you could treat factions differently (Bandits, MagesGuild, Guards etc.) how would you like to have this? (I'd like your opinion(s) here). Setting a fix clothing value, exclude from some of the multipliers...

 

[uglycat]

yeah, it's ironic that the guards are the richest and yet they never want my services because they are too responsible.

 

is there a way to check for max item health?

if you look here: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Armor

you can see, for example, rusty iron armor cuirass has only 250 hit points even though it's worth 40gp.

contrast that with the emperor's robe which is worth 25gp.

 

so what if you scale the gold value of anything with hit points (armor) based on hit points and weight of the item (to prevent light armor from becoming massively undervalued).

 

so something like ((maxHealthPoints / 5000) * goldValueOfItem) / (weightOfItem/30)

note: 5000 is just an arbitrary number, so you can tweak things.

 

new value:

rusty iron cuirass: ((250/5000) * 40) / (30/30) = 2gp

 

leather cuirass: ((160/5000) * 35) / (7.5/30) = 4.48gp

 

steel cuirass: ((500/5000) * 180) / (35/30) = 15.4gp

 

daedric cuirass: ((2700/5000) * 4800) / (60/30) = 1296gp

 

note: daedric is still worth an extremely high amount, but very few NPCs walk around in daedric or ebony armor.

it also has the purpose of making people wearing leather or iron quite poor. which, i think is realistic, because medieval dudes who wore leather weren't exactly rich and were the guys who were hunting or whatever (i dunno, not a student of history here).

otoh, it would make steel wearers somewhat middle of the pack (once you add in the rest of their items, greaves, boots, etc). I would expect steel wearers to have 100-200gp in their pockets.

 

for any item that isn't armor, you could probably just go with the standard way that you've been doing.

 

oh also, for bandits, i think you could probably exclude them completely... i mean, they bandits, after all. they wouldn't be there if they had much money at all.

[RogueMage]

Thx uglycat. I am thinking over the whole process and probably will handle the most of it with factions (total rewrite). So the user may decide if bandits, necromancer etc. are included or not. I still have an amount of npcs who probably will not have an appropiate faction and who wear armor. Your idea looks very interesting and brought me on track for this.
