Like others have said, this mod is outdated. It depends on the old USP which is no longer available.

Here are some options:
1. Get this instead https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/35609 (best option)
2. Find old USP on an unofficial site (I got a 2013 version from Uptodown, but last update to classic USP was in 2015)
3. Make the mod compatible as described by Kina-chan in this comments section: "If you're using Steam's version of the USLEEP, go to the mod page and you'll find a guide on how to make mods compatible." (Idk the details but there is apparently a way.)
4. Wait for modder to return (not likely)

Tbh, I felt this mod doesn't add anything meaningful. I never had merchant gold run out which is all I really wanted; and I played from Lv. 1 up to Lv. 52 with this mod. A simpler "more merchant gold" mod is fine. Happy looting!

Requires "Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp", but the only version of that I can find is "Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch.esp", which apparently isn't good enough. Functionally unusable until the author fixes the mod; or provides a download for the exact specific patch version required.

I have the patch and it still crashed.

CTD after bethesda screen. Yes, I have both of the unofficial patches. Yes, I'm sure it's being caused by this one. I've tested. Just a warning.

Might be late, but this mod still tends to crash.

Yes, I am using the Unofficial Patch. Mod might need to be updated for the 'Legendary' patch, as that's the only one redily available anymore.

Bunch of idiots, it very clearly states you need the unofficial skyrim patch.

Crashes if you open the game

If you're using Steam's version of the Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch, go to the mod page and you'll find a guide on how to make mods compatible.

Note that this is not compatable with the Legendary version of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch!

As a note to Crew3It; I'm pretty certain that crash is caused precisely by not having the Unofficial Skyrim Patch that is mentioned at the very bottom of the descriptionof this mod. I'mhaving the exact same issue, but I'll be adding the patch later, and I'll let you know if that fixes it.

Bug report Skyrim crashes after beth soft logo using this mod

Thank you. This mod works fine for me. The higher I go the more money the merchants have. I don't think I would still be playing skyrim if it wasn't for this mod. You did a great job.

Bug report time! OK, merchant's aren't leveling with me. In past plays at around lvl 5-7 they have around 1K-2K septims on them. I'm at level 7, and all merchants still have an average of 750 gold on them still, which is the default amount. Not sure if this is a problem on my end, any answers are highly appreciated.

what? skyrim isn't 4 years old captainnonsense

if i'm correct, the unofficial skyrim patch is basically a patch that WASN'T made be Bethesda but was instead made by modders to help improve the game since most game companies will stop supporting games after awhile. Skyrim is a little over 4 years old so i wouldnt be surprised if Bethesda stopped patching the game. In simple terms: unofficial patches are patches of the game made by Skyrim lovers who want to continue supporting the game.

hi! I don't know why but today, the game stopped the launching at bethesda and it was the only mod activated on my skyrim. All the other mods work but it's not the case for this one. If someone has some solutions or explanations.

Furthermore, what is this unofficial skyrim patch?

I can confirm that the thieves guild fences (at level 51) have 40k+ gold which makes it impossible to sell anything to them.
I do have Better Trading (v2.1) installed, so I cannot say for certain if this is a mod interaction issue or not.

So yeah, the Thieve's Guild fences have 62,000 gold, and I can't sell anything to them. I subscribed to this mod specifically because the description said it kept the amounts below 30,000 to avoid this glitch. I guess I'll be looking for an alternative.

For some reason, the Thieves Guild fences all have 40,000 gold, and when I use console commands to try and fix it, it doesn't register. The Khajiit caravans also have no change in their gold amount.

Any idea on how to fix this, or should I try switching to the other version of this mod?

Crashes my game every time

Mod won't work at all for me, deleted all but this mod tried to load up skyrim and it would just close. Deleted this mod, skyrim worked fine.

can you link the unnoficial patch?

....I need to test this out some more, but if there's a hard limit of level 81 I'd have to keep that in mind. I'm sorry I'm going have to unsubscribe to this.

Oh, there was a problem with the last install of it - sorry for the trouble!! The game is running again! :)

Pyrotic, do you have the Unofficial Skyrim Patch installed too?

Crashed my game on the title menu, won't work for me :(

@tim.hurst go to C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim and chage TESV.exe to TES_.exe. Now go into Data/SKSE. If their is an SKSE.ini, open it up with notepad and type this:
[Loader]
RuntimeName=TES_.exe

If there is no SKSE.ini, right click and select new>text document. Type the former in, then save it as SKSE.ini. Make sure it doesn't save as SKSE.ini.txt/SKSE.ini.rtf!

@Wardancer, I know it will go in, but i cannot select or unselect mods that are added through Steam. I also use SKSE so I do not use the game launcer. And besides, I am just anal and want it all the same :~)

Oh, awesome! Thank you, AbsoluteMkoll, and thank you for the much needed mod too!!! :)

Just what i needed :D

Ah, you have the right one, I added an extra word in by mistake. Thanks for pointing that out.

This should have been in-game all along, thank you!!!! And just curious... the Unofficial Skyrim Community Patch??? I have the Unofficial Skyrim Patch, but have not heard of this one required (unless they are one and the same). Would you please clarify? Sorry if it seems like a dumb question to you, but I seriously am asking!

@tim.hurst: this will automatically go into your nexus mod manager even when you subscribe here on Steam. Unless of course you want to specifically download it from the Nexus instead, in which case ignore my comment, lol.

Thanks for putting this out. I have always liked your mod. Any way this could be posted on Nexus? I have started using Mod Organizer, and starting profiles. And first post, Yay!
