📋 About This Mod
A modernized remake of Progressive Encumbrance, rebuilt utilizing engine fixes to provide balanced, scalable encumbrance penalties. No scripts (aside from MCM), compatible with everything.
Summary
(The inventory fix now works with all versions making this compatible with them as well)
Enjoy an immersive encumbrance add-on that gradually scales instead of the difference of a single feather being able to completely cripple your character.
Progressive Encumbrance is a fantastic mod that originally released before Styyxus fixed the long-standing inventory weight calculation issue through Get Actor Value Percent Fix. Because of this limitation, the original version relied on hard-coded carry weight values, making it difficult to properly balance and requiring a lot of separate moving parts to function correctly.
This rebuilt version uses corrected inventory scaling to provide a system that is balanced, streamlined, simplified, and slightly expanded, while remaining lightweight and fully compatible with modern load orders. Works for both players and NPCs.
How it works
Negative effects begin once you reach 60% of your carry weight and gradually increase as you approach over-encumbrance.
De-buff Formula:
Includes an MCM to disable any effect you don't want. Optional SPID file download included for those who want it to affect NPCs.
