✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 2,535 endorsements and 66k downloads show this mod is a staple for many players
- Makes inventory management way less annoying—you can carry dozens of potions without breaking your carry weight
- Zero bloat: it's a tiny tweak that does exactly one thing and does it well
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects weight—if you were hoping for rebalanced effects or new alchemy items, this isn't it
- Last updated in 2020, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods that alter potion records
- Could conflict with other mods that change potion weights or add new potions, since it only covers the base game items
For Skyrim players who hoard potions and poisons and hate being over-encumbered. Also great for alchemists who want to carry a full arsenal of brews without sacrificing inventory space. Skip if you want gameplay overhauls—this is purely a convenience tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—no need to manually place files.
- Load order doesn't matter much for this mod, but putting it after other mods that change potion weights ensures it takes effect.
- Since it's a simple record edit, it's safe to add or remove mid-playthrough, but always save before installing any mod.
