    Rationale

    The Real Heavy mod gives you fine-grained control over Geralt's weight allowance. One of the primary issues affecting the Witcher 3 economy is the fact that Geralt, despite being just one man and his horse, is somehow able to pickup and transports multiple tons of equipment and supplies. (CDPR made the right commercial choice, most players would have hated only being able to carry a couple of swords at a time). It's not actually surprising that the vanilla economy gets unbalanced when Geralt can collect endless rusty Novigrad swords and somehow, despite not having a 6-wheel semi, is able to take all his ill-gotten loot to market. Or somehow carry 36 Steel Ingots, 24 Iron Ingots and enough Dimeritium Ingots to permanently eradicate magic from The Continent, in a single horse's saddlebags. Alternatively, since you set the parameters, you can decide that nothing weights anything at all, and let Geralt dance light as a pixie despite 1000 swords in his pockets. The choice is yours...
