📋 About This Mod
Description
A simple mod that reduces to 0 the tonnage of equipment such as the Arm Mods, Leg Mods and the Targeting Tracking Systems (TTS) in order to match the behavior of similar upgrades such as the cockpit mods or the gyros. I felt like these components are often underused and it's extremely hard to add them to your 'Mechs without sacrificing a lot of firepower.
I also made a version of this mod in which these upgrades have their tonnage halved: "Aldath's Half Weight Mods"

For BattleTech players who want to optimize their mech builds without sacrificing arm or leg mods for weight. Also for those who prefer a lightweight, no-frills tweak over overhaul mods. Skip if you're looking for broader gameplay changes or if you play on a heavily modded setup where compatibility could be an issue.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, drop the files into the appropriate folder and activate; otherwise, manually place them in the game's data directory.
- Check if the mod's version variant offers different options—read the mod page comments for player feedback on which one works best.
- Since the mod is from 2019, test it in a sandbox save first to ensure it doesn't conflict with your current game version.
