----------Introduction----------
This is a simple mod that changes the weight of the soul gems to the more reasonable values of Oblivion and Skyrim. This is for convenience if you don't like how your soul gems end up taking lots of carry weight. I kept the weight of Azura's Star the same since it's kind of overpowered anyway, and there's only one.
Comparison: Vanilla LSG Petty 0. 2 0. 1 Lesser 0. 5 0. 2 Common 1. 0 0. 3 Greater 1. 5 0. 4 Grand 2. 0 0. 5 Az Star 2. 0 2. 0
- ---------------Installation-------------------
- Simply put the ESP file in the Morrowind Data Files and activate the plugin in the launcher.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In order for the game to register the gems as being lighter, you may have to put them somewhere else first (ground/container) and them pick them up, otherwise it appears the encumbrance is the same. I don't know if this is the case will all cases but it did with mine.
----------------Uninstallation-----------------
Just deactivate the plugin from the launcher.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Useful for loot hoarders who hate being overencumbered by soul gems.
- Tiny mod that does exactly what it says—no bloat, no extra scripts.
- Still functional for classic Skyrim players (26 endorsements from a niche crowd).
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016—may not be compatible with Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition without tweaks.
- Only affects carry weight, so if you wanted more soul gem tweaks, this isn't it.
For Skyrim players who find soul gems annoyingly heavy and want a quick fix without overhaul mods. Skip if you're on Special Edition or want more comprehensive soul gem changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, you'll need to port the mod or find a similar one—this is for the original Skyrim.
- Place the .esp file in your Data folder and enable it in your mod manager or launcher.
- Check your carry weight before and after to see the change—it's immediate.
