📋 About This Mod

The functionality of this mod is now also available in IStewieAl's Tweaks as "Weightless Worn Power Armor". I recommend using that instead.

  • []The weight of equipped Power Armor is added as a Carry Weight increase, effectively making it carry itself.

    []Power Armor Helmets only carry themselves when wearing Power Armor underneath.

    []Fully dynamic - works with all Power Armors, including those added by mods, and uses their exact weight.

    []Lightweight - Scripts are completely event-based.

  • Compatible with anything - doesn't edit Power Armors or their effects themselves.

    Requires NVSE and JIP LN NVSE Plugin
