Armor weights are based on their material weights compared to that of real world steel armor.
Weapon weights are roughly based on their real world counterparts. (Weight increases with tier)
Reward armor and weapons have static weights now.
Arrows are significantly more lightweight, with slight variations based on their materials.
Books have been standardized to weigh 1KG across the board, with exceptions for journals, diaries, etc.
Clothing weights have been roughly determined based on what they cover. (This will likely need adjustments)
Most jewelry is much lighter.
Many items that had no weight have been given one (Lockpicks remain weightless)
Pelt prices have been increased to compensate for their weight. (Patches for other mods will adjust their value proportionally as well)
An additional file is available to reduce the default encumbrance scaling to 2KG per point of Strength. This requires UE4SS.
