I'm curious if other people have been finding the Ascension mods to actually be good. I like most of the changes, but it feels impossible to make any significant amount of gold with the mod removing things that "break the economy". I know alchemy and enchanted items are ridiculous in vanilla but if you completely remove those sources of gold (especially when combined with making items sell for less due to mercantile changes) then what is left? Low level gear has an absolutely terrible value/weight ratio, and the mod removes high level gear from random enemies, which is fine because that's the main reason I'm using the mod in the first place. But it still leaves me scratching my head and trying to figure out what exactly you're supposed to do to gain enough gold. Arena alone certainly isn't enough, and I'm not interested in using dupes/exploits. No idea why people waste time on that shit; if you want to cheat just type player.additem f 1000000 into the console and be done with it.
I looked at using the Lite version of the mods, but that leaves out many changes in the full version that I actually like. And I'm definitely not invested enough in the game to load up XEdit and manually go through all the changes in the main esp to pick and choose the good from the bad. Final option is to just grab the optional mod that reverts the potion sell values and abuse alchemy for all my gold needs. Before I do that I was just wondering if anyone else used the mods and found the early game gold issues to go away on their own after progressing more. I started over so my current save is only about 8 hours in.
