❖ FEATURES ❖

-
[]Removes weight from ammunition (arrows), tools (apparatus), books, alchemy ingredients, food, potions, soul gems, and misc. items.
[
]The previous part is similar to this mod, but only contains necessary records, thus no ITMs (Identical To Master) and therefore less conflict potential with other mods.[]Once you have UE4SS (lastest) installed you can also make use of this mod's increased encumbrance (carry weight) scaling per point of Strength. Vanilla Strength increases encumbrance by 5, this mod makes it 10 per point.
[]I also made sure to incorporate and forward all fixes from Unofficial Oblivion Remastered Patch (not required, my mod stands on its own) that apply to the records altered by this mod.
[]As a small optional bonus, all tools (alchemy, repair hammers, and torches) stick to the top of their respective inventory sections. This part requires you to run MagicLoader once to apply the changes. Follow the instructions on MagicLoader's mod page.
[]Optionally provides patches for some other mods to make their items or overrides of vanilla items weightless.

❖ INSTALL ❖
────────────────
Download and install the files with a mod manager of your choice, like Vortex.
If installing manually, simply pull the contained folder from the archive and put it into your game's root folder. You also have to enable the included plugin. Go to the following folder:
..\Oblivion Remastered\OblivionRemastered\Content\Dev\ObvData\Data
Copy over the name of this mod's plugin ("Dank_WeightlessMisc.esp") into your plugins.txt, located in that folder, somewhere below the game's official plugins and below everything else this mod/plugin depends on. When in doubt, put it at the very bottom.
The patches found in the Files section have to go below the plugins they were made for. If you don't follow that, your game will crash.
❖ FAQ ❖
