“Isn’t it weird how scratching at a gold ore vein for a few seconds yields enough ore to smelt a brick of gold?” asks modder LetTheWookieeWin882 within the description for Precious Metals By The Ounce, to which I can solely reply: “Yes! Yes, it is!”
LetTheWookieeWin882 goes on: “And that same brick provides only enough material to make a single ring or necklace?” Again, my reply is affirmative. This makes no sense. Hence the necessity for his or her mod: Precious Metals By The Ounce is an immersion mod that adjustments Skyrim’s large ingots of gold and silver to extra reasonably-sized ounces, about one-eighth as huge.
If you miss the heft of the ingots and the wealth they bespeak, then you’ll be able to nonetheless mix eight ounces or 16 ore items into an ingot. You’ll have to interrupt them down once more if you wish to use them for crafting, however no materials is misplaced in both route. You can download the mod here.
It’s a beautiful little bit of consideration to element that may delight pedants in all places (I say this as a pedant, and thus intend no offence – fairly the alternative). There are even variant ounces stamped with the seals of the East Empire Company and Silverblood Family, which have been added in applicable places.

Alas, pedantry has to yield to practicality sooner or later. LetTheWookieeWin882 acknowledges that the ‘ounces’ weigh totally different quantities relying on the steel, however defends this as a needed game steadiness selection: “I wanted to give gold a higher value/weight ratio than silver” – which is smart – “at the cost of being heavier overall.”
Creator LetTheWookieeWin882 performs with two different common immersion mods – True Medieval Economy and True Realistic Item Weights – in addition to mods that add weight to cash. Precious Metals By The Ounce stands by itself, but in addition enhances these, for these of you who’re after an additional contact of Medieval authenticity.
