📋 About This Mod
NEXT-GEN COMPATIBLE
DESCRIPTION
This mod lets you change the storage space granted by saddlebags, that's it. ( available versions: x1. 5, x2, x3, x4, x5, x10, x100)
If you want to set a custom multiplier value use the slider version. (slider version won't receive an update for v. 4. 0X)
NEXT-GEN COMPATIBILITY
The latest version of the main mod (v. 0. 8) should be compatible with witcher version 4. 0X (i.e., the next-gen update). Please note that the installation via Vortex is untested. I strongly recommend a manual install for now. If you experience any problems, feel free to contact me.

Automatic installation via Vortex is untested.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,240 endorsements and 57k downloads.
- Does exactly what it says—no bloat, just more saddlebag space.
- Works with the next-gen update, so it's still relevant.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018—might have issues with other mods that alter saddlebags.
- Only affects saddlebags, so if you don't use horses, it's useless.
For Skyrim players who actually use horses and hate being overencumbered after a dungeon run. If you're a pack rat who wants to carry more loot without fast-traveling, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you never ride horses or prefer gameplay overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on PC, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no special setup needed.
- Make sure you have the latest Skyrim update installed, since the mod is built for the next-gen version.
- If you use other mods that change saddlebags, load this one after them to ensure the storage boost applies.
