✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- No ESP or performance hit—runs as a lightweight NVSE plugin, so it won't bloat your load order.
- Configurable options let you tweak how it works and even kill that annoying encumbrance message.
- Community-tested with 182 endorsements and nearly 4k downloads—solid track record for a niche QoL mod.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019—might not play nice with the latest NVSE versions or mod setups.
- Requires NVSE, so if you're not already running it, you'll need to set that up first.
- Only affects running and jumping while over-encumbered—no other Fallout 76-style mechanics here.
For Fallout New Vegas players who hate crawling at a snail's pace when over-encumbered and want a taste of Fallout 76's AP-based movement. Perfect for hoarders and loot goblins who refuse to drop that extra desk fan. Skip if you're fine with the vanilla slow walk or want a more comprehensive gameplay overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have NVSE installed and launch the game through NVSE, not the default launcher, or the mod won't work.
- Check the mod's config file (if provided) to adjust AP costs and toggle the encumbrance message removal to your liking.
- Since it's a plugin with no ESP, it won't affect your load order—just drop the files into your Data folder and you're good.
