Troubleshooting

Check the DLL location:

• Verify the DLL is at Data/SKSE/Plugins/SimpleCustomWeights.dll

Check the log file:

• Open SimpleCustomWeights.log in your SKSE log directory
• Look for DataLoaded and PostLoadGame messages
• If these are missing, SKSE may not be loading the plugin

Check the INI path:

• Confirm the INI is at Data/SKSE/Plugins/SimpleCustomWeights.ini
• If the INI fails to load, the log will show a failure message

These items are intentionally skipped:

• Quest items (items flagged as Quest Item)
• Items with the VendorNoSale keyword

These require specific settings:

• Keys only change if KeyWeight is set to 0 or higher
• Lockpicks only change if LockpickWeight is set to 0 or higher

Category detection:

• Food, raw food, tools, and some book types depend on vanilla vendor keywords
• Items without those keywords may be handled as misc instead

• Make sure ApplyMinimumWeightToZero=true is set in your INI
• This prevents items from reaching true zero weight
• If you want near-zero weights, use a small MinimumNonZeroWeight like 0.01
• Don't go smaller than 0.01 — extremely tiny weights can cause odd behavior

• Open SimpleCustomWeights.log
• The plugin logs every loaded setting value on startup
• You'll see lines like WeaponWeight = 1.0 for each setting
• Patch summaries show how many items were modified per category

• Settings reload automatically when you load a save
• For immediate effect without loading a save, use the Papyrus reload function
• Make sure you saved the INI file before loading the save
