Mod to make potions heavier?

It seems absurd to be able to carry thousands of near-weightless potions. I'd much rather have them all weigh a pound or so, even if it's across the board. So far I've only found mods that make potions weigh less, not more.

Is there a mod out there (hopefully compatible with OpenMW and Morrowind Rebirth) that does this? If not, is it simple enough to do it on my own?

 

Thank-you for any help.

Are you asking about buyable potions, or potions you make with alchemy?

 

I don't know of a mod that does this for buyable potions, though hopefully someone will. Making one would simply be a tedious exercise in the Construction Set.

 

Potions you make with alchemy have a weight set by the game as the average of all their ingredients. There's no GMST that tweaks the formula at all. I imagine an MWSE lua mod could change any and all potion weights, but it wouldn't be OpenMW compatible. Instead, you'd have to look for a mod that makes all or most alchemy ingredients heavier.

 

If you don't get good answers here, I recommend you read up in detail on some of the larger balancing mods to see if they touch potion weight.

I made my potions weightless using the construction set.

It takes a fair bit of time, but as long as your sort the entries by TYPE you can speed up the process somewhat of increasing the weight of the potions.

The payoff is, once you change the weights, you end up with your own ESP, so you don't have to do it again

I am mainly referring to potions you make. It seems like the potions you can buy have a weight value closer to what I'm looking for, but I might like to change them all to have a weight of 1, instead of them getting lighter the higher quality they are.

It might be immersion breaking if I went about changing all ingredients to have a weight of 1. Maybe if I were to multiply the weight of each ingredient by 5(?) it wouldn't feel too odd. Or maybe if I only increase everything weighing less than 1 to have a new weight of 1, and not touch anything heavier.

 

Thanks for your replies, they helped a lot! I wonder if this would be something worth sharing if I can figure out making the ESP. Also if anyone has suggestions on a better way to decide the weight of ingredients, that would be welcome. Otherwise I'm just going to keep it simple.
