Lighter Things - Modular Weight Rebalance

This mod rebalances item weights with a selective approach. Rather than stripping weight entirely, it makes hand-picked changes to keep things immersive. Because various item types such as alchemy gear, potions and ingredients now have a distinct weight, sorting becomes easier.

Arrows, books and precious gems are weightless. Potions, ingredients, soul gems, sigil stones, ores, magic stones, pelts and repair hammers are lighter. Most other misc items like plates and spoons are untouched, because your kleptomaniac tendencies need limits.

The mod is fully modular, so you can install only what you need, or the AIO version if you want it all.
