Wood Chopping to Max Carry Weight
WCMCW
Purpose:
To increase the quantity of firewood received during the wood chopping event. Allow followers to partake in the modifications.
Flavors:
Max Carry Weight
-- Calculations allow player to keep chopping wood till just before their max carry weight would be surpassed
-- Only this variation will be ported to SSE as this is the variation that I will use in SSE. If desired, the other variations from the original will work as-is within SSE
On Screen Feedback:
Instead of the default "Firewood (2) Added" you will see "Firewood: X of Y" which is a running tally of how many you have gained out of the calculated possible total.
Tips:
-- The follower command interface (press and hold the activate button - E by default) can be a little tricky. I found it best to tell them to chop wood then wait for them to start before tabbing out of follower command mode. Otherwise they tended not to chop anything.
Upgrading or Switching Flavors:
-- Uninstall previous version
-- Install new version
Installation:
Your choice of mod manager
For Manual installation
1. Check for and backup any existing versions of ResourceFurnitureScript.pex found in Skyrim > Data > Scripts
2. Extract the contents of the 7z file directly to the Skyrim main directory
Uninstallation:
Your mod manager if used to install
For Manual uninstallation
Delete and restore any backups you made
Files & Folders:
Data > Scripts > ResourceFurnitureScript.pex
Data > Scripts > Source > Isharas_WCMCW > ResourceFurnitureScript.psc
Compatibility:
-- Backwards compatible with stock script and other flavors of the original mod. There are no stored values outside of the wood chopping event. There are no property changes made.
-- Not compatible with any mod that modifies the same script file(s)
Notes:
-- In the original stock script, if you kicked a follower out of the wood chopping sequence their count of firewood would not always reset. This was corrected.
-- If you or a follower exit early, the final display of "Firewood status: X of Y" will not update to have equal value.
-- If you have a follower mod or mod that allows multiple followers and the follower was not placed into the stock follower faction for current follower, then those followers will not return valid and will not receive wood.
Permissions:
Wood Chopping To Max Carry Weight is a small Skyrim mod that changes the wood chopping event to let you and followers chop until you reach your carry weight limit, with on-screen feedback showing progress. It's a niche utility for players who want to maximize firewood gathering without over-encumbering themselves.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-trusted with 265 endorsements and over 5,000 downloads, so it's proven to work for many players.
- Handy for survival-style playthroughs where you need lots of firewood without micromanaging inventory.
- Follower support means you can delegate chopping and still get the full benefit.
⚠️ Cons
- Only the Max Carry Weight flavor is ported to SSE; other variations require manual work to use in Special Edition.
- Follower command interface can be finicky—you have to wait for them to start chopping before exiting command mode, or they won't chop at all.
- Manual installation requires overwriting a stock script, which could conflict with other mods that modify ResourceFurnitureScript.
For Skyrim players who chop wood regularly and want to fill their inventory efficiently without constant trips to the woodpile. It's also useful for modders looking to tweak the wood chopping mechanic. Skip if you rarely chop wood or prefer gameplay overhauls—this is a focused utility mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If using a mod manager, install via that to avoid overwriting scripts manually—it'll handle conflicts better.
- When telling followers to chop wood, press and hold the activate button (E by default), then wait for them to start before exiting command mode.
- For manual install, back up any existing ResourceFurnitureScript.pex in your Data/Scripts folder before overwriting, so you can restore it if needed.
