There are clever mods out there that add weight to gold via scripts, claiming that adding it in the straightforward way cause problems. What are those problems exactly? I don't like the idea of a work around because I want NPC to be affected too. I'm playing with companion and I usually share my heavy stuff with them, and I'd feel tempted to stash all my gold on them.
I added 0,01 weight to all gold entries and just started a new game and so far I don't see anything wrong (except for any amount of gold will show the same 0,01 weight on the tooltip but I don't see that as a major problem as it adds correctly to the total weight anyway).

You know, I don't want to play for a month and then see some big nasty surprise.

Asked this on uesp too but noone has replied yet.

>I added 0,01 weight to all gold entries
You should add 0,01 weight to gold_001 only.

Try this:

take note of your current carried weight

type in the game console: placeatpc gold_001 20000 64 0

take the 20000 gold

drop the 20000 gold

take note of your current carried weight

[edit]removed max weight reference as not related to the point

Ok I didn't know that, I just opened another person's similar mod and he changed gold_001, gold_005 etc.

I had to mod it myself cause I'm using Golden Gold mod as part of Overhaul and they would conflict as separate mods, so I had to directly mod weight in Golden Gold.

Maybe... I might be wrong but doesn't it only apply weight to player's gold? I may be confusing it with another one though.

Okay this one command freezes my game for some reason.. I know it shouldn't but anyway I used Additem "Gold_001" 20000 instead.

So my encumberance without any gold is 26/200. I add gold via the above command and it becomes 226/200. I drop it and it is 26/200 again. I pick it up again and it's 226/200. So what was I supposed to see? I don't see any error there.
