📋 About This Mod

Limits how many Rifles, Pistols, Melee weapons, Grenades, and Ammo you can pick up w/o encumbering the player.

💬 INTRODUCTION

This mod was inspired by games where you can only carry so many of certain types of items. The Thumbnail is not an actual screenshot. It's just for illustrative purposes.

Other mods have tried to do the same thing, but this mod provides more weapon slot categories and removes the need to constantly hunt down items in the pip-boy to drop by blocking your attempts to pick them up when you're at your slot limit.

⚙️ HOW IT WORKS

When you start the game for the first time, you will receive a note with your slot limits written on them. If you are starting mid-playthrough and are already over your slot limits, you will be over-encumbered until you get under the limits. (This is the one and only time this mod will encumber you) Once unencumbered, any item you pick up that puts you past your slot limit will immediately be dropped or transferred back to the container it came from. If you exceed your slot limit at a vendor, your item will be on the counter until you make room for it.
