http://www.fliggerty.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=1120 by Fliggerty. There is a dice game called Che-han that is played all over Tamriel, mostly played by soldiers and in taverns. The game is simple: a small cup contains two dice. Once a wager is made, the cup holder chooses either even or odd. When the dice are rolled, whether the sum of the pips showing is even or odd determines the winner. This mod is dependent upon Morrowind Graphics Extender (MGE)
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=4475 by REX little - nice way to get merchants to buy armor/weapons in 'installments' when their barter budget is less than the value of the item.

Economy

http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=5498 by Fliggerty. Improved Bartering aims to make trading, buying, and selling in Morrowind a more immersive experience. First of all, merchants will no longer have a predefined, specific amount of gold to barter with each day. They will have a random amount that will be anywhere from none to a bit over double what they would normally have. This way, the more upscale merchants will still have the potential to have quite a bit of gold, and the slum merchants still won't have much. This will affect any NPC that barters, mod added ones included. This mod is dependent upon Morrowind Graphics Extender (MWSE)
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=6837 by Fliggerty. It has been suggested that someone try to imitate the "merchant investing" system implemented in Oblivion.Most merchants will now have the dialogue topic "Invest in your business." Selecting this will allow you to donate gold to increase that merchant's available barter gold.You can only ever donate 10x your current mercantile skill. This mod is dependent upon Morrowind Graphics Extender (MWSE)
http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=930509&hl= by Piratelord. PTE attempts to balance out the games economy (within the confines of the game) by removing the obvious things that can be abused such as traders with infinite stock, item prices, merchant skills, some objects that are easy to steal and rebalancing/expanding loot lists.
It also includes some new armour as a bonus and has a unique feature where traders have time based themed randomised respawning stock, so no two games are the same.

Slaves - you cant make money from them, but its still an invenstment kinda.

http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=261 by Emperor. This plugin places a trader in Suran (Suran Slave Market top floor, to be specific) that sells special slaves. These slaves should be the pride of all self-respecting slave owners: They can serve as bodyguards, fighting in style of your choice, follow, guard, wait, move out of the way, levitate, warp around the player if lost.
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=3781 by fliggerty. All this patch does is adds a second floor to the Suran Slave Market, where the special slave companions were. PLEASE NOTE: This requires the Farmer mod 4.0, NOT 4.3 which is avaible. Fliggerty has kindly linked to the Farmer mod 4.0. http://mwmodders.com/files/FM_4.0.zip
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=573by Vague Blur. A tiny mod that does the following: Makes "Companion Share" available for all Slave Class NPCs.Gives all Slave Class NPCs the ability to wait or follow.Additionally gives Ciralinde, Davina and Jadier Mannick (available from Savile Imayn in Tel Aruhn) the abilities to dance and to fight one another.

Perhaps under the property/shops section: http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=5779 (I believe you can make money off the Council Club after you buy it, anyway.)

http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=706 also includes features like a bank and numerous gambling opportunities, though that's hardly the main feature of the mod.

Hello,

A few links to some good mods that IMHO should not be forgotten in this list.
- http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=5498 by Fliggerty

First of all, merchants will no longer have a predefined, specific amount of gold to barter with each day. They will have a random amount that will be anywhere from none to a bit over double what they would normally have. This way, the more upscale merchants will still have the potential to have quite a bit of gold, and the slum merchants still won't have much. This will affect any NPC that barters, mod added ones included. Another great feature of this is the ability to convince almost any NPC in the game to barter with you by simply asking them. It always seemed silly to me that you couldn't simply buy a particular quest item from someone. After all, money makes the world go round. Whether or not they will barter depends upon several factors. If you are the highest rank in a particular faction, members of that faction will usually oblige; if you are the Nerevarine success is almost guaranteed. Otherwise, it depends upon disposition with an element of chance.

by: Fliggerty

Slavery is something that was never very well developed in Morrowind. Though a number of other mods have made wonderful attempts at fixing slavery, none of them quite do what I wanted.
With this plugin, you can purchase any of the existing slaves in the game. Traders in Suran, Molag Mar, Sadrith Mora, and Tel Aruhn will buy and sell
slaves.
Also, when you come across slaves while adventuring, if you have the key, you can claim them as your property.
All slaves use Grumpy's companion scripts. They are fully functional
companions, if somewhat lacking in personality.

http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?id=5380&view=Mods.Detail
by: Hotfusion

This is a series of modular plug-ins designed to reduce to amount of cash available in the game.

Morrowind's economy is out of control. It is very, very easy to make money (people frequently obtain millions of gold coins during the course of the game). Worse, there isn't a whole lot to spend this money on. Equipment is a serious expense at the beginning of the game, but it isn't long before the player graduates from store-bought gear and starts using loot from adventures. The result is a situation where the player makes an ever-increasing amount of money, but faces an ever-decreasing list of expenses.

Gold in MW is so plentiful as to be almost meaningless. There is no sense of having to save or manage your funds, and the player can frequently purchase several levels worth of training after a single dungeon.

by: BTB

One of the earliest mods to implement tweaks and rule changes to the game - that still stands in the minds of many players as one of the best - was Wakim's Game Improvements. Content with using it for quite some time, I started noticing things about it that I wanted to change. A few minor tweaks turned into a few more, and before I knew it I had a full-blown release of my own on my hands (no, not that kind of release). Yes, kids, uncle BTB has finally made a contribution to the mod community aside from writing snarky commentary on the ones he likes.

In addition to Wakim's Game Improvements, my mod also takes a good deal of its inspiration from HotFusion's above-mentioned Economy Adjuster. But unlike Economy Adjuster, which I still use and recommend using to a certain extent, BTB's Game Improvements was conceived as a complete replacement of Wakim's mod, hence its removal from this list. You may have also noticed two other mods gone missing from it: Level-Up Birthsign Remover by SpectaclesOfDoom and CalSurGuardMod by DaNang. Both have been incorporated into BTB's Game Improvements - the former as part of the mod itself, and the latter as an optional extra feature - and thus also no longer needed to be mentioned separately.

Following the lead set by both Wakim and HotFusion before me, my mod is presented as a series of modules that can be used (and will be explained) independently from one another. As for the descriptions below, they will be kept short and to the point (a rarity for me). The main readme for BTB's Game Improvements contains extensive commentary on each plugin - far too much to reprint here - and there are individual changelogs which detail all of the edits made by each of the five modules. Tribunal and Bloodmoon are needed for two of them, by the way, so just a heads-up on that one.

by: VenomByte

Economy Fixes is my attempt to address some of the issues that bother me most about the Morrowind Economy system. At low levels there is no real proble, but later on it becomes very clear that there are a huge number of things wrong with the Morrowind Economy, essentially boiling down to two simple points:

The player can easily obtain huge amounts of money/valuable items
The player has little or nothing worth spending any of this money on.
My Economy fixes mod addresses some of the causes of the above two issues, and consists of two .esp's which can be used individually or as a pair.

Slaves - you cant make money from them, but its still an investment kinda.

http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=261 by Emperor. This plugin places a trader in Suran (Suran Slave Market top floor, to be specific) that sells special slaves. These slaves should be the pride of all self-respecting slave owners: They can serve as bodyguards, fighting in style of your choice, follow, guard, wait, move out of the way, levitate, warp around the player if lost.

http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=3781 by fliggerty. All this patch does is adds a second floor to the Suran Slave Market, where the special slave companions were. PLEASE NOTE: This requires the Farmer mod 4.0, NOT 4.3 which is available. Fliggerty has kindly linked to the Farmer mod 4.0. http://mwmodders.com/files/FM_4.0.zip

As an observer of this list, I must admit to some confusion here. As stated above, there is a patch for the slave mod if you are using the above mentioned farming mod, which is in the mod list. It states the patch does not work for the most recently released version; but only for the kindly linked 4.0 version. However, it fails to state why the recent 4.3 mod breaks/conflicts. I assume it has something to do with the floor, but not knowing what to look for to be sure, I can't even search the farm mod's readme for the conflict it causes with the slave patch.

Because of this confusion, I find myself unsure whether this slave mod is worth the download. In my exp most mods are at their best in their most recent states, and this is why not knowing is such a problem. If I knew why it conflicts and if the patch was not updated because 4.3 messed up the farming mod, I could better make an informed decision.

Just speaking up in hopes that this can be a better resource for everyone. Thank you to everyone so far who has taken the time to put this together.
