About this mod
This mod adds a weight limit to all containers, even those added by mods, as well as adding a weight limit to arrows, and arrows stored in containers and/or followers.

SE version here.
Disclaimer: This mod isn't for everyone, as it will make storing loads of loot more difficult (and perhaps more tedious for some). But I thought I'd share it for people that are interested in adding a sense of realism to their game.[/left]
1. Requirements
Latest version of Skyrim and SKSE.
2. Containers
In Vanilla Skyrim, any container can hold an infinite amount of items. I found this immersion breaking, so with some help, I came up with a mod that adds a weight limit to most containers.
The weight limit for each container is listed below. The limit and the current weight in the container will also be shown in the top-left as a notification message each time you deposit an item into a container. (Although DLC-added containers are covered, the mod does NOT require any DLC!)
WEIGHT LIMIT: 10
WEIGHT LIMIT: 25
WEIGHT LIMIT: 30
WEIGHT LIMIT: 50
WEIGHT LIMIT: 75
WEIGHT LIMIT: 100
WEIGHT LIMIT: 125
WEIGHT LIMIT: 150
WEIGHT LIMIT: 175
WEIGHT LIMIT: 200
WEIGHT LIMIT: 225
ALL OTHER Containers -> 150
3. Arrows
I gave all arrows a weight of 0.1. This won't show up on the arrow description in-game as that's an engine limitation, but the script will handle them as if they had this "invisible weight". This will apply to all containers, so arrows will count towards the max weight as well.
In addition to all this, I gave all followers a cap of 100 arrows in their inventory, so you can't dump all your arrows on a follower.
Lockpicks will now also have a weight of 0.1 and gold will have a weight of 0.01.
4. Performance
The mod contains a single script that is only active while adding and removing items from the containers listed above. It doesn't store any data in your save, and doesn't modify any in-game assets. Removing this mod from your playthrough won't cause you any issues or errors but, as with the removal of any mod mid-playthrough, it is good practice to clean your save after removal.
5. Incompatibilities
Any house mod that uses auto sort scripts. (yes, including Legacy of the Dragonborn) Those mods will, most likely not make you crash, but all containers affected by auto-sort won't have the restrictions, which defeats the purpose of this mod.
6. Permissions
TO BE CLEAR: This mod cannot be used for paid projects/mods as the resulting work couldn't be released under the same licence.
7. Credits
