If you can't take the weight, don't play on Hardcore? Or I have a mod that will remove the weight from all ammo items. mod link

 

If you still want weight, just lower, I know there are a couple of weight lowering mods that also affect ammo. I'm not sure by how much. And as always, if it doesn't exist, take the tried and true method most everyone does, make the mod for yourself.

Does anyone know of a mod that adds ammo weight to non-Hardcore? I don't like most of Hardcore's elements, but I do like the ammo weight function.

There is no way i will play the "pussy version" :sleep: . I have mods that make every battle a fight for your life, 2-3 bullets kill you, or 1 to the head, same for the enemies. I just want the ammo weight a little bit lower, i don't like to see that my ammo takes up 200+ WG, i can't loot armors and guns in this manner :mad: . Thx for your suggestions, that's what i was looking at, i was looking at some weight overhaul mods in the hope that they will help with the ammo weight.

I'm thinking about going with RWO (http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/37095/?), but i will have a big problem using it, i have like 300 rocket suvenirs in my inventory and i can't drop or sell them cause they are quest items. There is a link on the RWO page to a mod that allows you to drop quest items but the file does not exist any more. If i use RWO i won't be able to move FOREVER because of the weight of the quest rockets.

There are quite a few mods that make quest items droppable.

If you want it just for the rockets, it's as simple as unticking a box in the GECK (iirc). Or if you don't mind using the console, "player.removeitem 0008e665 [amount]".

Seems like that isn't something that would be done easily. May be hardcoded or something - ammo does by default have weight so there has to be something that removes it in non-hardcore, though so far no one appears to have found out what does that.

You could go the other way, maybe - play in hardcore and use a mod to remove the Hunger/Thirst/Sleep stats? Not sure if that's possible either though.

I feel as though it shouldn't be too hard to handle the ammo weight thing - I'll have a search through the GECK tomorrow, but if I had to take a guess, I'd suggest that there's probably a script that disables ammo weight during normal gameplay.

 

Really, I'd be very surprised if it's hardcoded into the game structure. Going the other way would likely be more trouble than it's worth - you'd have to strip out every single element of Hardcore except for the ammo weight, which would be rather time-consuming.

 

That said, if it is hardcoded, then might it be possible to create some sort of script that somehow enables ammo weight in normal gameplay? You'd dodge the issue of not knowing what variable induces it, since you'd just be cutting straight to the source. It'd be messy, but possible.

I thought those weight units were pretty realistic?

 

You sure it's your ammo weighing you down?

Foodstuffs are often a big factor in my inventory... XD

 

Also you can take the "pack rat" perk to cut pretty much all of your ammo weight in half... ^^

And only take ammo for the weapons you have on you.

Thank you, the "untag..." mod looks nice, because i can make them quest again after i dumped the things i don't need. :blush: Now to install "RWO" to see if the ammo weight turns down to something more manageable. I like to hoard ammo :pirate:

I didn't mention it, but I too agree that at least the ammo weights are pretty realistic. I did quite a bit of research on them when looking into making a mod that limits the amount of each caliber you can carry, which used the weight and a formula I wrote to simulate a "volume" calculation for ammo. I tailored it based on vanilla weights, highest capacity weapon of that size, and several ammo types so that it would be as accurate as possible across all ammo, and I think I got it pretty close. It's not perfect I know, and i do have some changes that need making.
