📋 About This Mod
Weightless Junk is a rework of "Weightless Junk and Other Items - DLC Patch" which is now a standalone mod. It now modifies both vanilla and DLC items into one mod. This mod does not remove weight from armor and weapons as this doesn't appeal to my gameplay style.
Requirements: This mod requires all DLC installed.
Compatibility issues:
This mod copies vanilla records and simply removes the weight of those items. So if you use any mod that changes the keywords of items I have changed there will be mod conflicts. This essentially means my mod is not compatible with sorting mods without a patch.
Pick ONLY ONE version:
Weightless Survival - For survival enthusiasts. Strictly modifies the weight of Misc items only. This includes: Armor/weapon mods, robot modifications, quest items, holotapes and junk items. Recommended on any game difficulty, including survival.
Weightless Aid & Junk - Includes: All aid items (including food and beverages), armor/weapon mods, robot modifications, quest items, holotapes and junk items.
Note: This does change survival mode chem weight (antibiotics, herbal medicines, etc.)
Weightless AIO (All-In-One) - Includes: All aid items (including food and beverages), explosives (grenades, mines and traps), ammunition, armor/weapon mods, robot modifications, quest items, holotapes and junk items.
Installation:
Use your favorite mod manager to download and install. Ensure the .esp file you installed is activated in your load order (ie. Weightless Survival.esp).
