Editing Item Weights

I really can't stand the screwy item weights in Oblivion... And can't seem to find a good mod that adjusts them properly. Does anyone know of a really good one? I have not made any mods myself, but I assume I could go through them all in the construction set? Either way, I want to make things proper: Light elven and Mithril, glass, etc... Any help? Thanks!

I don't know of any such mods, but doing so in the CS should be rather easy (though somewhat tedious and take some time). I have done this myself, though mostly with modded items.

The problem with the weights in game is that nothing can weigh less than 0.1 without being weightless. Meaning that 100 seeds at 0.1 weight will weigh as much as something with 10.0 weight. Under this system, either things weigh too little, making it unrealistic, or things weight too much, making it so that you have to take 8-9 trips back and forth between that dungeon you just went through. That which is practical is not realistic, that which is realistic is not practical. This is why most who play a modded version of the game either have high strength equipment, or have changed the weight settings to where they can carry all they would ever need without ever being concerned about weight.

 

The unit of weight is just too arbitrary, and trying to set everything to the same standard would simply be too painstaking of a process which would be totally undone by any mod which adds items.
