Changes in companion carry weight

This mod increases the portable weight of your companions by 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 or 128000. My goal was to do this as cleanly as possible, so I increased the effect of Live & Love magazine #3 Trim the Fat, which in vanilla game increases the portable weight of your companions by 10. This means that you will first have to find Live & Love #3 Trim the Fat magazine to increase your companion's weight.

This mod also fixes a bug where Live & Love magazine's Perks don't act on Kate, Curie, Dogmite, McCreadie, and Preston Garvey. This patch is necessary for mod to work with these companions. By the way, the unofficial patch for Fallout 4 (UFO4P) also fixes this bug (among others). For this reason, I provided a file that is compatible with UFO4P. I personally recommend that you use UFO4P with a UFO4P-compatible CCWM file. However, I understand that not everyone will use UFO4P, so the existing version of CCWM, which does not require UFO4P, remained.

This applies only to those who do not use UFO4P, and those who are going to use this mod in the current game. Therefore, if you are using UFO4P or are going to start a new game, this step is not required. If you are in this category, use the bat file "Curie Live & Love magazine perk patch". If you do not know how to use the bat file, refer to the FAQ. In short, the above error can only be corrected for Curie in the current game by manually applying the actor's effects through the console. The bat file makes this process easier. If you don't, the mod won't work on Curie.
