📋 About This Mod
Description
This mod adds a fully configurable skill called Carry Weight. By default, the player gains 3lbs of carry weight per level in this skill.
At max level (100) the player has double the inventory space as the base game.
Level up this skill by Running or Swimming while carrying more than 80% of your max capacity. Due to the % max capacity restriction,
this skill levels up faster than both running and swimming.
