Tooltip by abot
- show filled soulgems values according to Morrowind Code Patch option toggle
- fixed a bug on save/reload of MCM configurable parameters
- new and MCM configurable parameters (nothing fancy, I hate complicated formatting tools),
the option to see item mod source is useful when troubleshooting mods
- now Value/Weight Ratio should be displayed right after Weight also when using most of other tooltip mods
- more configurable parameters in main.lua:
-- BEGIN configurable parameters, -- set to false to disable
local showValueWeightRatio = true
local showSkillBook = true
-- prefix/suffix enabling, one should be true, one should be false
local prefixReadSkillBook = true -- e.g. Sithis (nice to have read skillbook displayed at the inventory start)
local suffixReadSkillBook = false -- e.g. Sithis (if you don't want to have read skillbooks displayed at inventory start)
local readSkillBookMarker = '*' -- set to desired read skillbook marker
-- END configurable parameters
- updated to skip display if value is not > 0
renamed from ValueWeightRatio to Tooltip as functionality may increase
By default displays Value/Weight Ratio, you can change settings
below in main.lua file to true or false to enable extra functionality
-- BEGIN configurable parameters (you can set them to true or false)
local showValueWeightRatio = true
local showSkillBook = false
-- END configurable parameters

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Handy for loot hoarders—instantly see which junk is worth hauling.
- MCM integration means you can tweak it without editing files.
- Lightweight utility with a solid following (159 endorsements).
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020—may not work with the latest game patches.
- Only shows ratio, not actual weight or value separately—might not be enough for min-maxers.
For players who hate lugging around heavy junk and want a quick glance at value-to-weight efficiency. Also useful for skillbook collectors who want to know what they'll learn before reading. Skip if you prefer a full inventory overhaul or need up-to-date compatibility.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod requires a specific script extender or MCM—if so, install those first.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid errors.
- Test the tooltip on a few items to ensure the ratio displays correctly before relying on it.
