Lightweight Potions

oblivion — Mods & Enhancements

Lightweight Potions is a small immersion mod for Oblivion that makes all player-crafted potions weigh the same, removing the ingredient-based weight inconsistency. It's for players who find it illogical that potion weight varies by ingredients. With over 1,000 endorsements and 27,000 downloads, it's a well-received quality-of-life tweak, though it hasn't been updated since 2009.
