About this mod
Tired of stutter running back to drop off your junk? Now you can virtually eliminate encumbrance penalties by taking all 5 ranks of Strong Back.

Managing inventory is my least favourite part of any game. After 8 years schlepping back to base, using companions as pack mules, and adding mods like backpacks, enough is enough! It's already unrealistic that we're wearing 90 pounds of gear and carrying another 200 pounds of assorted loot, provisions, and junk, so why make encumbrance a chore? This mod is how I decided to solve that problem without completely eliminating encumbrance or obsoleting the Strong Back perk.
Encumbrance Unbalanced changes Strong Back so that you can take it earlier, gain greater bonuses, and eventually even run without limit while overencumbered. The "balance" is that you still have to be level 10 with 6 STR and spend a total of 10 points to get all of the ranks, and you still take -2 to Agility and Endurance when encumbered.
Strong Back perk ranks are changed as follows:
Now you can be even less overencumbered! With the new PLUS version on the files tab, you gain 400, 800, and 1200 to carry weight at ranks 1, 2, and 5 respectively. All other perk benefits remain the same. Pick ONE version and enjoy an uninhibited run about the Commonwealth! (Just keep in mind that the more stuff you have in your inventory, the bigger your save file gets and the more unstable your game might become.)
Requires Far Harbor or GOTY. Install by placing the .esp in your Data folder. If you install the mod after you've already taken any Strong Back perk, the perk effects won't work correctly. You need to remove and then re-add each perk individually.
To reset existing ranks of Strong Back, use the console to remove each perk rank that you've purchased, and then re-add it.
Perk numbers are as follows:
Rank 5 is from the Far Harbor DLC and its perk number varies depending on your load order. You can try each of the listed Rank 5 perk numbers individually, or check the load order (FormID Prefix) of DLCCoast.esm (DLC03) by using the Creation Kit or a tool like FO4Edit.
To uninstall, delete the .esp and then repeat the process to remove and re-add existing perk ranks to reset your character's perk to the default.
Tested with 295 other mods and should be compatible with anything that doesn't change Strong Back perks or abilities.
