As with any RPG, you will be scrounging for every last bit of gold in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. Fortunately, there is a surefire method that players can use to amass gold, aside from the obvious looting of every container and chest in the game.
This guide is all about farming gold quickly and efficiently in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered.
Alchemy
This Skill can be a major source of income especially since most ingredients can be acquired for cheap or even free by foraging, harvesting, or looting various locations in the open world. You will need a Mortar and Pestle in your inventory to begin the actual brewing process. The higher the quality of the alchemical apparatus, the better the quality and sale price of the resulting potion.
Next, you will need ingredients for a potion. The simplest one to brew is the Restore Fatigue potion which requires just two ingredients, from a possible pool of 37 edible items scattered throughout the world.

Grapes and Tomatoes are readily harvestable, without being considered theft, from any of the farms around the Imperial City. Once you have amassed enough potions, make your way to the nearest merchant and dispose of your potion wares in exchange for gold.
Fast travel to another location where you can then rest for a few days to speed up time, before returning to the ingredient farming location to rinse and repeat. The reason you have to leave the area is to guarantee that the crops respawn in your preferred farming spot.
Be sure to put as many points into your Alchemy skill as possible each time you level up, as well as improving your Strength attribute which affects Encumbrance–the ability to carry as much as possible will spare you multiple trips to the traders. The Luck attribute also has a direct effect on the Alchemy skill score.
That is the best way to farm money fast in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.
