An SKSE plugin that dynamically removes the weight of the following items (basically all items):
- books
- soul gems
- food
- ingredients
- potions
- scrolls
- gems
- ingots and ores
- animal parts
- clutter
- misc
- jewelry
- weapons
- armor
Every category can be toggled off individually in the config file.


I know there are other mods that do similar things, but those do it by modifying the records of all items in .esp files. This creates two complications:
1) it is incompatible with any other mod that touches the same records, for example a mod that changes the prices to rebalance the economy
2) it doesn't work on items added by other mods
My mod is an SKSE plugin that modifies the records at game launch rather than in an .esp. This makes it compatible with all other mods modifying those records and it works on all items added by DLCs, CC content and other mods in addition to being compatible with languages other than english. Also it doesn't use up a load order slot because it doesn't have an .esp.



In order to blacklist certain items from being affected you can add them to the blacklist in the .toml. An entry consists of filename and form id separated by a | and individual entries are separated by a comma. So for example if you use a mod that adds weight to gold and lockpicks you can blacklist them by putting the following in the .toml.
blacklist = "Skyrim.esm|0xF,Skyrim.esm|0xA"




This mod was written with CLib-NG, so theoretically it should work on all Skyrim versions, including VR. Since I don't have I couldn't test it, though, so if you do please let me know the results.
