Changed armor weight, not applicable in game?

[Mentu]

So i created a basic mod, to my understanding im still a nub. Anyhow I duplicated all the samurai heavy armor. I changed weight to 5 on all pieces.... everything so far i have figured out except this. When i start new game my character is equipped with all the samurai armor but its still like 20 instead of the 5 what i changed value to.

I do not understand as for the samurai helmet i added Dust storm protection 100% and that shows up fine, works proving to me at least i didnt break anything. Same with all the other modified stats in each.

Is the Armor weight unchangable? it appears as ive tried nearly everything! Even changing the Actual Samurai armor not my duplicated one to 5 ... it still is 20 kg so .... im stumped....


The value i am changing is in the Inventory branch, "Weight Kg" so what am i doing wrong to where it doesnt appear changed in game? Based on my understanding im coming to a conclusion armor weight cant be changed? which is crazy haha since you can do everything else... i must be missing something.

Well ive come to the conclusion that the weight is affected by material use and other things. So this has been answered now, figured out. It boils down to the armor material used and then multiplier of that from what ive found. It was a minor change i wanted but just something ill have to deal with i guess... as theres no way to lower the 20kg weight unless i lower the material made of armor... which would make it weaker. Samurai Armor uses plate... so id have to make it use leather or so if i wanted lower... making it weaker. Unless im wrong that answers this question haha.

You are not wrong, we actually need a value to set the weight.
