I can't get this to work for the life of me (though the only thing i couldn't try so far is actually increasing my strength stat as it was already at 10, however i did get magazines/bubbleheads which in total got me from 12 to 15 however that didn't work, also tried entering power armor & exiting it, still no work :/
If you dont mind further troubleshooting, you could load all you plugins with Fo4edit and see if the player entry has any conficts. As others have pointed out, the command player.modav carryweight 10000 does the same thing. The command only works per character, so if you start a new one, you will have to execute it again.
Others guesses for troubleshooting what you could try is either a new game, or manual install (Drag/drop the plugin into your data folder)
Honestly i was messing with some hud/ui mods cuz i wanted certain ones & somehow ended up messing up my game so map markers no longer worked (couldn't be arsed playing by constantly looking at my map to know my direction) so i gave up on the game & uninstalled, wasn't in a mood to do a clean reinstall of all mods to get it all working again as i had way to many installed...
but if i get back to FO4 again i will try what you said (in worse case i'll use the console command as i didn't know it was the same thing & usually ppl tell not to use those type of console commands so didn't even think of it :P)
Thanks for this I'll give it a try. I'm on my FOURTH playthrough and I have earned all achievements for the game on Steam, and I really get sick and tired of the very limited carry weight. At this stage in my Fallout 4 playthroughs I don't consider it cheating.
Same boat! Im well over 3k hours at this point and pretty much just adding items via SAM and changing stuff for QOL. I bet i spent more time modding and figuring things out with scripting then actually playing the game :)
12.06.2023 It works with the last F4 with all DLCs. Installed thru NMM In game weight was the same, then i drink alcohol (+ strenght) and it made the weight modded. And still like that.
I don't know why, but in my fresh game this mod did not work anymore (previously all worked fine in other playthroughs) Vortex: ESL IS in Pluginlist at the bottom of the list, mod is activated, entered a power armour, left it, saved game, reload it, unfortunately NO changes deinstallation, new installation, nothing helped, so I gave up ...
But the console command I found around, works very well, so if anyone has the same problems with this mod, you might find this useful:
open console (german "ö" ; english "^") you know the thrill openig the console ^^
player.modav carryweight 10000
(or wished amount, You just can copy and paste this in the console, if you are lazyy with the typing into the console ^^)
Despite of this solution, thanks for the mod, helped me a lot in the other playthroughs)
I suspect a mod conflict that makes edits to the same entry. You could easely check this by loading all your plugins into FO4Edit and see what mods make changes to the NPC Player entry(FormID:00000007) The mod thats presented on the most right tab gets the final say and could undo this mod's change. Correct me if im wrong but i think ESP can overwrite ESL.
Of course, the console command you provided works just as well. In fact, it does the exact same as my change but only for your current save. Glad to hear it helped you well until now :)

Look for the actor value Carryweight in the player entry and change the value of 10k to whatever you like.
Save and done!
