📋 About This Mod
Crafted potions and poisons weigh 0. 1 rather than 0. 5. Works retroactively.
Lightweight Potions and Poisons reduces the weight of crafted potions and poisons from 0.5 to 0.1, and it works retroactively on existing items. This simple quality-of-life mod is for Skyrim players who find carrying multiple alchemical consumables too encumbering.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 6,694 endorsements and over 117k downloads.
- Simple, effective change that frees up carry weight for hoarders.
- Retroactive effect means no need to re-craft your stash.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2012 — may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or DLC.
- Only affects crafted items; found or purchased potions remain at original weight.
- No configurable options — you get the weight change and that's it.
For Skyrim players who carry dozens of potions and poisons and hate the encumbrance. If you're a hoarder or alchemy enthusiast, this is a must-have. Skip if you want more complex alchemy overhauls or if you're playing a modded setup that already tweaks weights.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is from 2012, check if your Skyrim version is pre-Special Edition or use a compatibility patch if needed.
- Load order doesn't matter much for a simple weight tweak, but place it after any alchemy overhaul mods to ensure your change sticks.
- Test with a crafted potion first to confirm the weight reduction is active before relying on it.
