player.setav carryweight annoying issues

[hogash90]

Hello. My english is pretty poor so i'll try my best.

I started a new character today and my wish was to set the base carryweight to 95 points, that increases (of course) everytime i level up, and that's ok. BUT the problem is it never remain the same between one and the next level. I mean, from 95 to 355?
Another example: i opened the inventory 3 times in 5 minutes and it showed 3 different max capacity values without leveling up!

I use a bag mod to make the thing more realistic and immersive as possible (and it adds only 50 points in Carry) so i can increase my carryweight a bit, and i started collecting stuff meticolously and after a half hour i found myself with 650 carry weight at level 8, obviously the consequence is that i found myself with 600+ weight of scrap and stuff in my inventory destroying my immersion (in live stream :sad: )

What the hell?

Should i use the player.modav carryweight -210 instead of the player.setav carryweight 95?

 

But i wanna go deeper....why, in case one is better than the other?

I can't find a decent mod to modify the base carryweight via MCM menu, any suggestion?

Thank you very much ^^

Yes, MODAV ---> Setav is only temp. for that game play. Once you quite and / or go to a prior set game it will revert back to your base weight carry.

You should always use modav instead of setav to change your carryweight. Setav will change a stat's BASE value, modav adds or substracts the number of points you specify to whatever the game calculated regulary from base value + permanent and temporary modifiers. So if you just want to lower your starting value and let it develop from there according to the standard game rules, modav is the way to go. And by the way, modav can simply be reversed.

 

AKAIK you will only get +5 carryweight at level-up if you choose to increase stamina.

THANKS ALOT GUYS!!!!

Just a question cause i can't play right now. Using modav with bags equipped will change the BASE c.w. only or the whole value (bags bonus included)?

Technically the whole value. But that shouldn't matter, as all parts of the carryweight equation are summed up, no multipliers if I remember correctly.

300 (Base) - 210 (your modav input) + 50 (your bag) + 5 (for each levelup with stamina) + whatever other modifiers you might get =

300 (Base) + 50 (your bag) + 5 (for each levelup with stamina) + whatever other modifiers you might get - 210 (your modav input)
