The economics of Baldur's Gate are broken: shortly out of Candlekeep money will cease to be a factor for the rest of the game. Attempts have been made to address this by balancing prices and items, but that it too difficult and subjective. This mod cuts the Gordian knot: every dawn the party will lose 500 gold. There is no explanation for this. Perhaps the Federal Reserve of Faerun has hiked the interest rate at last, or maybe you just have holes in your pockets.

Be prepared to quickly find yourself poorer. You can forget about just going to High Hedge or Taerom and buying all the spells and weapons that you like. You may well find yourself with 0 gold just when you need to tip someone. The clock of doom chimes every morning. It is up to you how to react: run faster in the rat race and speed up your adventuring to afford all you desire or embrace a happy paucity.

Tip: think about what light objects, suitable for an adventurer, can store value.

Compatible with all versions of Baldur's Gate.

3 topics ... why ?n. Yes, that means why, but also whine.

And like I said elsewhere the economics are not actually that broken ... when you don't try to cheat the system by loading savegames and hedging your bets by resting all over the place, cause you know that you can.

By the way, is this only every 24 hours or every time the player rests ? ..


Yep, Jarno Mikkola. my Mega Mod FAQ. Use of the BWS, and how to use it(scroll down that post a bit). 
OK, desert dweller, welcome to the sanity, you are free to search for the limit, it's out there, we drew it in the sand. Ouh, actually it was still snow then.. but anyways.

Not everyone goes to all three boards.

 

The "economics" are completely broken and cannot really be fixed. There are too many much magic weapons around, and if somebody took them away, the game would be half-pointless. But deducting 500 gold is not enough. I'm putting up a different mod that will be felt better than this one.

 

This one deducts the money every dawn, as the description says.
