So, I was working down the Morag Tong questline, when I got the ques to kill the Telvanni wizard in the faction's canton tower, so I went there and approached him. The 3 mages in the room immediately attacked me and I managaed to kill all of them, but, appearently during the fight, some sort os spell was cast that burdened me to 1558/208 carry capacity, and did not go away once the effect had ended....

I then proceeded to cast all the usual cures on myself, and drank several potions of every type of restore attribute, didn't help. I then used an Intervention spell and used the temple restoration, which also did not help....

I've since then, tried using console commands to mess with my stats(which were showing normally at this point btw) but it did nothing for the 1558 encumberance problem. I even popped the save into enchanted Editor to se if it was fixable there, but alas..no, it would seem that if the invisible effect is in there, its encoded/unknown tot he prgram and I can't find it anywhere.

So, all that said, unless someone knows of a fix for this sort of thing...I think i'm done with Morrowind, again...This is my 3rd character in a row since reinstalling that has broke for one reason or another, and I jsut don't have the heart to restart yet again....

There's a solution to fix your weight. Others will be able to describe it more in detail, but basically you'll drop everything in your inventory where you should normally be at 0 weight (but aren't), then you'll use the console to add some item to your inventory and finally, you'll remove it multiple times until your weight is back to normal.

I don't know the exact procedure, but there was a thread about a similar issue recently, so I have no doubts someone will soon post the solution. Don't lose hope.

Thanks for the tip! I tried this and it did indeed work, but a little too well.....I added in an iron warhammer and console removed it a bunch of times till it was 0, yay! But, a few seconds later, my weight changed again, this time to 234/208. So, I went and did the same thing again till it was zero. I then, after a minute or 2, proceeded to pick up all my stuff I had dropped in a box. Weirdly enough, its now saying my total weight is 25/208, when I know full well it should at least be 120+....just fixed one thing to break another lol

Hm, that might be why they used a light weight item for the removal thing. Maybe it can go into negative so you need be precise and your weight didn't update properly until you picked up something. Sorry, I never had to deal with that kind of stuff so I'm mostly guessing at this point.

Yeah I understan, thanks for the input regardless At this point though, I'm just getting really tired of all the problems.. :/ I adore this game to death, and with the mods I got its extremely enjoyabler. But, that said, it seems all the fixes that have come out over the last decade and a half still can't fix everything.

Based on all the glitches you have been having the last couple weeks or so of one form or another, I think you may be having serious Modding conflicts. All these problems are things I've never had myself after countless thousands of hours playing morrowind.

Though I only have a small handful of mods on at any given time. I like to play relatively vanilla with a few minor tweaks.


That's why I think it's something mod related, like you have dirty mods or some mods conflicting in the background giving all these weird errors, or even incorrect loading orders.

Likewise, I never had any kind of issues of that sort, except in one game where a mod added a moderate duration levitation effect, and I had problems with "anti-hovering" after it wore off. The character had a downward force affecting him constantly, making it difficult to step over tiny objects, climb stairs, and other issues. Perhaps it had something to do with my character already using that effect at the time. Ultimately, I had to use the console to fix it. Point is, it wasn't a "base game" problem, it was a mod issue, and I can't hold the game responsible for some odd effect interaction issue that a modder missed.
