📋 About This Mod
A single, small ESM for you hardcore mode folks, adding 0. 0100 weight to each bottlecap. Time to leave your vast fortune at home!
Adds a tiny amount of weight to bottlecaps in Fallout 3, making them a physical burden rather than weightless currency. A simple gameplay tweak for players seeking more realism, with 401 endorsements and 8,470 downloads. Last updated in 2010, so it's an old but stable mod.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 401 endorsements and 8,470 downloads.
- Adds a subtle realism layer without overhauling the economy.
- Lightweight mod that's easy to install and use.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2010 — may not be compatible with modern game versions or mods.
- Only affects bottlecaps; other currencies remain weightless, which might feel inconsistent.
For Fallout 3 players who want a touch of realism in their inventory management. If you're a roleplayer who thinks carrying thousands of caps should weigh something, this is for you. Skip if you prefer convenience or want more comprehensive economy overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod file in your Fallout 3 Data folder and activate it in the launcher.
- If you use a mod manager like FOMM, install it through there to keep your load order clean.
- Test with a new save or after saving to ensure the weight is applied correctly.
