Hi. I don't if this is a mods or technical problem but if anyone can help me I would really appreciated.

 

I'm having a some error with the weight in oblivion. Whenever I cast a spell or wear a feather items, my weight doesn't seen to change. My character weight right now is 114/223. When I try wearing a boot that added 25 feather, the weight does not change. I don't know if it a mods or something else. I uninstall the UI, DarNified Ui but it was that. Try resetting race, class, birth sign, wasn't that either. If anyone can help me I would really appreciated.

I'm totally new to Oblivion, but what it looks like to me so far is that the "feather" scores represent total encumbrance, not just inventory encumbrance.

 

When you equip an item from your inventory, your character is still subject to it's weight because you haven't actually removed it from your character's person, you've just shifted it from your inventory "backpack" to your hand, or your feet, or whatever. You're still actually schlepping it around on your body either way and are thus still subject to the same total weight.

 

The effects of a items' weight might change depending on if it's equipped (wearing heavier shoes will make sneaking harder than wearing lighter shoes, for example), but as long as it's on your person in any way, it's still weighing you down.

 

The only way to remove an item's weight from your "feather" score is by dropping it instead of carrying it with you... just like in real life. This is one of the reasons why it's good to have a house or hideout somewhere: so you have a safe place to stash all your excess junk/loot to keep your inventory light.

 

That's how it looks to me anyway. I'm still brand new to this game.

All "Feather" does is add it's enchantment amount to your total carrying capacity.

 

x = Feather Magnitude

y = Maximum Encumbrance (how much total weight you can carry)

x = New weight

 

x + y = z

 

45 + 213 = 258

 

Now, if "z" is not changing when "x" is applied, then try reaching your max. Pick up clutter (a good way to doing this is finding a huge pumpkin patch), do anything you can to get just below it. Then grab something that you know will put you over, WITH the feather enchantment enabled.

 

If you're still able to walk around, then the effects of Feather are working, the game is just not showing you "z".

 

Too bad I have no idea why it's not.

 

Hope this didn't confuse you any.

One quirk about feather as well is that it won't give you full 'bang for the buck' if you apply it before becoming over-encumbered. Pick up enough to trigger the 'You are over-encumbered' message and then apply feather (via spell or potion). Have a look in the 'Bug' section of the UESP Wiki article on Feather for complete details.
