Adds 100 lbs carry weight. Note if you can get you enchanting to 100 you can put (2) enchantments on each item. Step 1-Enchant or use a weapon that traps the soul. Step 2-Run around killing the endless supply of wolves/bandits. Step 3-Enchant everything you pick up. Step 4-Buy more cheap soul gems and repeat-Tedious but it will get you there. Perhaps you killed a dragon and you need to carry its scales and bones, but you don’t want to drop anything from your inventory. The Potion of Fortify Weight practically weighs nothing, so just keep it on you at all times if you want to avoid any potential loss of items while on your adventures!

Carry weight is a crucial metric in Skyrim that dictates how much weight your character can carry. A larger carry weight means your character can carry more items. Thankfully, there are ways to increase your carry weight with cheats (console commands).
This guide assumes you know how to open and use the console (press the ` or ~ key to open). For help using and opening the console, see this page.
In Skyrim, the weight your character can carry is decided by the CarryWeight actor value. So whilst there's no 'CarryWeight Command' per se, you can increase/decrease your carry weight by modifying the CarryWeight actor value with the set actor value command.
To set you character's carry weight to 500, you'd use the following command:
player.setav CarryWeight 500
- Skyrim Console Commands to Increase Carry Weight; 43. Set Carry Weight: player.modav carryweight X. You can set carry weight even more than your own weight and your walking speed will not reduce. By default, the carry weight is set to 300. Increase Burden: player.modav burden X. Burden is a spell effect that allows you to increase your weight.
- The first mod to increase your carry weight retroactively! No need to start a new game or use any console commands. You can choose in the files section whether you want 100x your carry weight, or 25x or 'just' 10x. Brought to you by the author of the first/original mod of the same nature in Oblivion.
- Drop the items that you want you follower to carry on the ground (no more than 4 at a time), then tell them to pick them up. Followers can hold an infinite amount of weight this way and still.
If you wanted to set carry weight to 1,500, you would change '500' to '1500', like so:
player.setav CarryWeight 1500
Alternatively, you can make the game temporarily ignore all carry weight limitations for your character by running the following command:
ToggleGodMode
The above command will also make your character invincible and stats like stamina, magicka, etc will not drain. You can toggle this mode off by running the command again. Learn more about god mode here.
