  • NEWS: Updated to work with Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition (v3. 0).
  • Small modification that do exactly that - removes weight from recipe and schematic scrolls and adds some weight to books.
  • It seemed illogical to me that every book and tome in game is as light as air, and at the same time sheets of paper with writings on them weight 100g each, so here it is:
  • - recipes, shematics, letters etc. - no weight (was 0. 1)
  • - books - 0. 3 weight (was 0)
  • Install - just unpack and place \"CookedPC\" folder in Witcher 2 install directory.
  • Uninstall - remove files \"def_item_books.xml\", \"def_item_recipes.xml\", \"def_item_schematics.xml\", \"def_weights.xml\" from \"The Witcher 2\\CookedPC\\items\\\".

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Small modification that removes weight from recipe and schematic scrolls and adds some weight to books. Aimed at players who want less inventory clutter from crafting notes but still want books to have heft. With 364 endorsements and 6,254 downloads, this 2012 mod is a focused weight tweak.

✨ Key Features

Removes weight from recipe scrolls, so they take up zero inventory space.
Removes weight from schematic scrolls.
Adds some weight to books, keeping them from being completely weightless.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 364 endorsements and 6,254 downloads.
  • Does exactly what the title says—simple, no scope creep.
  • Lightweight plugin that won't bloat your load order or cause script lag.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated April 2012—no updates since, so compatibility with modern game versions is unverified.
  • Adds weight to books, which might disappoint players expecting everything weightless.
  • Only affects recipe/schematic scrolls and books; all other inventory weight remains untouched.
🎯 Is This For You?
For players who want recipe and schematic scrolls to stop clogging their carry weight but don't mind books still having some mass. Ideal for retro RPG fans still running the original 2011-era game with no weight overhauls installed. Skip if you want a full weightless inventory or if you're on a newer remaster.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Load order doesn't matter much for this mod, but if you use a merged patch, make sure this plugin is included to preserve its changes.
  • If installing manually, drop the ESP into your game's Data folder and activate it in your launcher's mod list before starting.
  • If books becoming heavier irks you, you can tweak the weight values yourself in the Creation Kit, but it's a quick edit.
