📋 About This Mod
Caps can be dropped: no need for a chemistry station, just go into the Furniture menu and Misc section in any settlement's workshop. Stashes of 100 or 1000 bottle caps can be placed anywhere you want, then scrapped for their value later.
Once scrapped, remember to take the caps back out of the workshop inventory to be able to spend them! If you want to access caps you left in another settlement's inventory, establish a supply line and craft some stashes in your current location.

Weighted Bottle Caps is a Fallout 4 immersion mod that gives bottle caps a weight of 0.01 (or 0.005) so 1000 caps weigh 10 lbs. It also lets you craft droppable cap stashes in settlement workshops, which can be scrapped later. With 370 endorsements and 8,194 downloads, it's a niche but popular choice for players seeking realism.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 370 endorsements and over 8k downloads.
- Simple tweak that adds meaningful weight to caps without overhauling the economy.
- Droppable stashes are a clever workaround for the game's no-drop caps limitation.
⚠️ Cons
- Weight may be annoying for hoarders who collect every cap they find.
- Requires remembering to take caps out of workshop inventory after scrapping stashes, or you'll lose them.
- Compatibility risk with other mods that alter bottle cap weight or settlement crafting menus.
For Fallout 4 immersion enthusiasts who want caps to feel like physical objects and enjoy settlement crafting. Also for roleplayers who like to stash their wealth in settlements. Skip if you prefer a streamlined inventory or don't care about cap weight.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager like Nexus Mods, install with one click; otherwise, drop the files into your Data folder.
- After scrapping a stash, check your workshop inventory immediately to grab the caps back.
- Set up supply lines between settlements to access caps stored elsewhere when crafting stashes.
