Limited Encumbrance (Mr Bunny backpack edition)

One thing I always found irritating with games like Cyberpunk 2077 or The Witcher 3, is the awfully large amount of stuff you carry with you at all times.

I couldn't find a mod that force me to decide how much to carry around, so this was a good occasion to learn Cyberpunk modding.

Limited Encumbrance

This mod overrides the way the game calculate encumbrance in a drastic way.

You get a base carry capacity, a carry capacity provided by your backpack, and some bonus on top of that based on the player level and other factors (like the PackMule Perk and the clothes you wear).

- Under the base carry capacity, you can run, jump and do whatever you want.

- Between the base carry capacity and the bonus, you get repeated warnings that you are carrying too much

- Above the base carry capacity plus bonus, you will experience the 'over burden' effect from the default game and will not be able to run or jump

The mod also changes the display of weight/capacity in your Hub with a different value:

Weight left before warnings (Carry capacity)

This will show how much you CAN carry, instead of how much you are already carrying.

A value of '10 (30)' means your carry capacity is 30 and you have 10 pounds to go before the warnings start.

A value of '-5 (35)' means your carry capacity is 35 and you should get rid of 5 pounds if you want to stop the warnings.

It shouldn't matter how strong you are or how advanced your Gorilla Arms are, you shouldn't be able to run around and enter combat if your backpack contains a dozen rifles, multiple handguns and a huge wardrobe.

It is unrealistic enough that food, supplies, ammo and random junk are weightless by default.

How does it look in practice?

The way that display is set up, what you see is: current carry capacity (max carry capacity)

- max carry capacity is calculated dynamically based on multiple factors (perks, equipment, bonus from drugs). If the dynamic number exceeds your carry capacity cap, it stops at that number.

- current carry capacity shows you how much weight you are allowed to carry on top of what you have. A negative number means you are over your limit.

With that in mind:

- '376 (500)': means your dynamic capacity is larger than your cap (500) and you can still carry 376 worth of stuff

- '-114 (10)': means you are 114 over your current limit of 10.

With a static carry capacity, only bags are taken into account in the calculation of your carry capacity (it is simply 'static max + bag').

Try setting your carry capacity cap to something very large is you should see how the other sliders influence your current max carry c
