📋 About This Mod
Limits the number of lockpicks and/or potions you can carry. Configurable through MCM or console.
To set a limit through the console type:
set LFGLimitLockpicks to ##
set LFGLimitPotions to ##
For convenience, potion limitations are disabled while using an alchemy station. However, the limit will be applied again the next time you pick up a potion so I recommend storing your potions quickly.
There's not much more to it.
Potions and Lockpicks Limiter is a lightweight Skyrim mod that caps how many potions and lockpicks you can carry, adding a survival-style inventory constraint.
