About this mod
Just another junk mod about junk. It tries to make junk items weigh a little bit more realistic and contain a little bit more realistic amount and types of components.
- Permissions and credits
This simple mod rebalances weights, components and (for few items) prices of junk items to make it closer to weights and composition of real things. Bethesda made most of junk items overweighted, and few things are vastly... emm... downweighted? overlightened?.. I tried to fix it in my own way.
Theres few another things this mod does, and i want to tell about in more details:
I've tried to find weight values of real things closest to vanilla game, but for some things like Bag of Cement or Makeshift battery difference between realistic and vanilla weights is huge (though i tried to compensate weight by amount of components). So for now this mod is more realistic than balanced. I hope you, guys, will help me to balance it, and find mistakes if they're there.
P.s. I've made this mod mostly for myself, but then i thought that someone else may like it. So here it is. If you like it - use it, if you're not - don't. If you have any reasonable critics or/and suggestions feel free to share in comments.

If you like it - use it, if you're not - don't.
This mod doesn't contain any scrips or something like that. It's safe to activate/deactivate at any time (i advise you to sell all paper you have before deactivating mod, because it will disappear after that).
It also mostly compatible with popular "Mo Betta Scrap" mod by Citre. If placed after "Mo Betta Scrap", JAWS will override most of his edits of junk items that can be taken, except bones, but won't affect his edits on static objects.
If you're using some mod that moves some junk items to misc tab and want to keep it that way, just load this mod after JAWS - it will override my edits.
NexusMods team - for this awesome portal, which contains all the best mod's for several games. And especially for Nexus Mod Manager - this program definetly made my life better.
xEdit team - for their excellent FO4edit tool. I used it first time, making this mod, and i was amazed how convenient is it.
Feel free to use entire my mod or it's part in your own. Just give me a credit.
But be advised - this mod and everything based on it (if it will ever be) is for free.
