📋 About This Mod

Tired of your power armor not meeting your standards? Tired of your power armor breaking down when you pick up that dead raider's pipe gun or that oil can? Tired of wondering why you have higher carry weight outside of your powered suit of armor? Me too. What this mod does

This mod adds carry weight to all power armor. The options for the amount of carry weight added are +100, +150, +200, +250, +300.

I was tired of having armor with deep pockets, yet every time I got in power armor I lost overall carry weight. It just didn't make sense and wasn't very lore friendly. Why would a powered exo suit allow you to carry less than you were before you climbed into it? After looking for an existing mod that added carry weight to power armor, all I could find were mods that rebalanced or added much more than just carry weight. These are fine mods but weren't quite what I was looking for, so I created this one.

Notes about this mod's in-game effects

In game you may notice that your power armor is adding more than your chosen amount of carry weight (i.e. you installed the +100 file but are gaining +160 carry weight). Keep in mind that the power armor will still increase your character's strength which also adds to your carry weight. Every level of strength adds 10 carry weight, so if you install the +100 file of this mod and have 5 Strength, when you get in your power armor you might find that you have 11 strength, which means your new carry weight would increase by 160 (+100 from the mod, +60 from the vanilla strength bonus).

Installing this mod

To install with NMM simply click the Download (NMM) button then select which carry weight version you want in NMM.

For manual installation download the .zip file. Unzip the file and copy the .esp file inside the folder that shows the amount of carry weight you want to add, and paste the .esp into your Fallout 4 Data folder (Default path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data).

Compatibility

This mod should be compatible with all other PA mods. If you are having compatibility issues try putting Carry More with Power Armor after your other PA mods in the load order. This should allow you to use both mods together. If you continue to have compatibility issues please message me or post about it and I'll work on getting it resolved.

Planned updates

• Separate main file with quest to acquire in game mod parts that enhance PA carry weight.  • Possible new models for the PA mods.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Huge community trust with 3,479 endorsements—clearly a go-to for many players.
  • Simple and effective: no complex features, just more carry capacity in power armor.
  • Lightweight mod that doesn't overhaul anything else, so it's safe to add to any load order.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2015—might not be compatible with newer DLC or game updates.
  • No detailed description, so you don't know exactly how much carry weight is added.
  • Only affects power armor, so if you're not a power armor user, this mod is useless.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Fallout 4 players who love using power armor and hate being overencumbered. If you're a loot hoarder who wants to grab everything without fast-traveling back and forth, this is for you. Skip if you rarely use power armor or want more comprehensive carry weight changes.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have the latest Fallout 4 patch, as the mod hasn't been updated since 2015.
  • If you use a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Vortex, install it with one click; otherwise, drop the files into your Data folder.
  • Test the mod by entering power armor and checking your carry weight—if it doesn't change, check your load order.
