I'm out of ideas for possible cause then. Just for sake of clarity as your responses have been slightly vague on it: If you have had mods previously and have since uninstalled them they might be responsible, hence the file verify advice.

This occurs if mods aren't properly uninstalled, or an installer messes up some way etc it can leave some old files behind which mean that the game is using them rather than the current game version files, which is often what introduces small issues.

If you haven't had any mods at all previously then yeah, no idea what the cause is at that stage.

It might be worth trying to go game library > divinity, right click on it > properties, > local files > verify game files or whatever the option is called.

If it's an issue with base game files getting corrupted that should solve it. Similarly if you've had large scale mods such as reworks or overhauls that didn't uninstall properly it should fix issues caused by any of those too.

Otherwise not sure of the cause.

Are you using any Larian Gift bag content, or perhaps have you used large scale mods before?
It shouldn't be an effect from a mod like this which is why I'm confused.

There are a lot of potential things in the file used, but only one line is edited with this I believe. And if it were mod file corruption, considering the file used governs many player stats, it would likely be much more noticeable.

Additionally I don't even think the effects of attributes are governed by that single file anyway, so I'm not sure how it'd be interacting with that value either.

That would definitely be unintended if so, though given the lack of game updates lately if it were bugged it should have been for a while and I'd expect more reports by now if it were.

Do you have any other mods running @ the same time?

There are larger iterations of this mod in the collection page at the top if you'd like a stronger version too as a heads up

Simple and awesome mod that doesn't detract from the gameplay experience.

If there was something in the game with negative carry weight to model it off, possibly - but I'm not aware of anything like that sadly.

If you just want to avoid carry weight forever I do have some other mods that give frankly stupid amounts of it.

Hmm I wonder, is it possible to make bags that has 'negative' carry weight so it negates the weight of what it's worth inside it?

Haven't played this in a long time now. I just put up with it in the end.

Bit of a late response for Slug there, but if anyone else wants a 1000 carry weight mod now, check my workshop.

Carry weight is one of the most annoying things in DOS 2.

Thanks for this and for the tips on unpacking mods, if it continues to annoy me I'll change it to 1000, lol.

Honestly if you want more carry space, this is a pretty simple mod. If you look up the tool to unpack Original sin 2 mods, unpack it, then just fiddle with the number until you have as much as you want. repack the mod when done, and boom, working custom version.

It's great! :D

... but I need another 100. *twitch*
