- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
OVERVIEW:
This small mod does exactly one thing: it adds carryweight bonuses to all the companion perks. What it adds is kept uniform: 100lbs for humans, 50 for creatures, and 150 for Super Mutants/Star Paladin Cross (due to her power armor). This idea is inspired by Obsidian's The Outer Worlds where companions simply buff your carry capacity instead of having a discrete inventory. There already exists a more elegant implementation of this on the Nexus in the form of Convenient Companion Inventory, and it's a great mod, but unfortunately it has a few bugs which prevent it from being the perfect solution and it's not been updated in 4 years. And so in order to achieve the same thing in a more "fool-proof" way, I opted for a stupid simple approach. However, the simplicity of it means that there are some limitations:
-It only works on vanilla companions
-It's completely static and not dynamic at all, so buffing your companions strength won't give you more weight
-Your companion's own carry weight remains the same so you can easily cheese it by using the buff AND their inventory (I contemplated debuffing their carryweight but decided against it. I'm not your dad, if you want to exploit it or don't, that's on you. This mod exists for convenience above all else, NOT balance)
COMPATIBILITY:
This mod solely edits companion perks and nothing else, so it should be highly compatible. Versions made for use alongside Sweet Perk Overhaul are provided. Any other mods that edit the same perks will conflict, but patching it is simple and I might do so by request.
