📋 About This Mod
A small mod to allow one to increase - or decrease starting carry weight. Use Less Weight to decrease starting weight by 100 lbs (made especially for those that play Hardcore and want as much challenge as possible) or More Weight to increase starting weight by 650 lbs (for the pack rats among us). Simply extract the esps to your Data folder under Fallout New Vegas & select the one you want to use in the game launcher - Do NOT use both of course. Also, if you want to use LessWeight, but sure to empty your or any companions inventory before enabling the mod. Then after enabling, go get your stuff. I think the CTDs some have experienced are because of having too much in inventory (including companions) when the mod is first enabled.
A tiny gameplay tweak that lets you adjust your starting carry weight in Fallout: New Vegas. Simple and effective for players who want more or less inventory capacity from the get-go. With 669 endorsements and 15,750 downloads, it's a proven utility mod despite its age.
