Realistic Weight
First, this is my first mod for SSE and second, I'll never again in my life do this! This was a slow, agonizing, painful and nasty process of editing 8239 items one by one just to satisfy my own pleasure. Of course I can't keep this only for me because out there for sure are more people like me wanting such a mod.
I did research before I gave weight to items and bring them to a quite close weight. Now, of course they are not perfect because you'll never make them perfect or even close to that but my point is that I searched for items weight in real life and gave them an average weight so the problem is not white nor black... you understand.
To run this mod you need the latest version of SSE + all 3 DLC's + Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch
What this mod changes?
--- Ingredients ---
All ingredients reduced or increased so they are close to their real weight values.
--- Soul Gems ---
All soul gems have a weight of 100 grams except Azura's star/Black star
--- Potions ---
All potions from 0.500g weight down to 0.100g except for the Ale, Mead, Wine.
--- Scrolls ---
A standard a4 sheet is about 5g(real life) so I made the scrolls 10g from 0.500g(half a kilo, that's insane)
--- Books ---
Since a scroll is 10 grams, a book with a few pages and a cover has 1 kilo in the vanilla game and I don't agree.
I decided to take an average of 10 pages per book therefore 50g from pages and I give 200g that 'heavy look' book cover so 250g per book. Recipes, letters, notes, 10g each and journal/diary 100g each.
Elder Scrolls - 5kg each down from 20kg
--- Misc. Items ---
Gave/took some weight of some items carried often by player like lockpicks, ore, ingots, dwarven scrap etc. It's reasonable don't worry!
Mehrunes' Razor parts weight fixed so they equal the weight of the razor(vanilla 13 kilos parts for a 3kg razor)
Gave weight to some weightless items like the Bust of the Grey Fox and such
--- Rings, Amulets and Circlets ---
Rings - 20 grams
Amulets - 50 grams
Circlets - 250 grams
[Some items from above categories where given their specific weight cuz they had 0]
--- Arrows & Bolts ---
For some reason the weight will be not applied therefore arrows will have 0 weight(or perhaps some mod of mine tricks me)
Took 500 grains as a default value so 500 grains = 32.399 grams, 30 grams set in game instead of 100 grams per arrow.
--- Armors ---
Halved the weight of all armors(all dlc's) for more realistic weight.
[Some items from above category where given their specific weight cuz they had 0]
--- Weapons ---
Halved the weight of all weapons(all dlc's) for more realistic weight.
Installation - via Mod Organizer 2 or NMM or any mod organizer. If manual installation, then for sure you know what you are doing and don't need my guidance.
Before you post - This mod must be placed under Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch in load order and any other mod that affects the weight of vanilla items who goes after Realistic Weight mod, will overwrite this mod!!! Else, if you have no such mods, Realistic Weight can go anywhere in the load order without any problem.
