Someone just found roughly 70,000 gold inThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrimat level 2, without cheating or using mods.
How? Well, it’s a bug, obviously. What else did you expect? This is aBethesdagame we’re talking about.
Asrevealed in a threadover in the r/skyrim subreddit, user Due_Garbage2935 posted a few screenshots of their 67,872 gold haul.

So what led to them discovering such a massive amount of wealth at such a low level? Turns out they weren’t sure how they did it either.
“So Im playing on expert difficulty and I beamed straight to pinewatch and I unlocked the first hidden chest,” Due_Garbage2935 stated in the thread description, “it was an adept lock and somehow it held more than 3 times the amount of septims that is required to rebuild the brotherhood… Ps I’m not using mods.”
One user in the thread did know the answer, however, and it’s as dumb as you probably assumed.
As stated in a reply from user DJDaddyD, this is actually a result of a bug that was introduced in the Anniversary Edition ofSkyrim.

“It’s a bug with one of the CC add-ons that came with AE. Iirc one of them has a bug in loot drops that provides a negative value which rolls it over to the max bit integer,”replied user DJDaddyD.
“You can grab it, leave it to despawn, or if you accidentally grab it just drop 65535 septims in a barrel or something (I often hit loot all a day grab it and have ti do that).”
And it’ll probably never get fixed, considering the last patch for this game was back in January.

Unless of course, Bethesda fancies givingSkyrima brand new update that breaks a bunch of other different stuff (like they did forFallout 4).
