About this mod
Reduced/hardcore carry weight for all vanilla races, conflict free and compatible with all race overhauls thanks to SkyPatcher.

The way Bethesda games handle inventory management and the loot economy has always been very problematic to me from a balance and progression perspective. Reducing carry weight should, in theory, force the player to think about what gear they can carry and reduce degenerate loot goblin gameplay. Bethesda finally learned this themselves with Starfield.
We now have a tool that allows us to directly modify base carry weight at runtime, which for all of Skyrim's existence up until now caused huge incompatibilities with race overhauls like Aetherius (which I highly recommend). Huge thanks to Zzyxzz for SkyPatcher.
I took the below values from Weight A Minute because 1) it was my inspiration to make this mod, and 2) I like Revenant0713's reasoning for the final numbers.
Argonians - 90 base carry weight
Bretons - 85 base carry weight
Dark Elves - 95 base carry weight
High Elves - 85 base carry weight
Imperials - 100 base carry weight
Khajiits - 90 base carry weight
Nords - 120 base carry weight
Orcs - 120 base carry weight
Redguards - 120 base carry weight
Wood Elves - 85 base carry weight
I recommend to pair this mod with Schoolsacks of Simonrim, and Campfire - Backpacks Begone if you use Campfire.
