Better Inventory
Save your sanity trying to survive! Filter your AID tab for Food and Water, see the combined weight of item stacks, and view your inventory weight for each tab so you know which category is weighing you down.
Better Inventory
Always over-encumbered but don’t know where your weight is coming from?
Dying of hunger/thirst because you can’t find your food and drink items among all the other chems/Stimpaks/RadAway/bobbleheads in the Aid category?
Better Inventory is a UI mod that adds inventory filters for several inventory categories and shows you the weight of each inventory category.
Features
Inventory Filters
The following tabs can be further filtered:
Weapons: Filter for ranged, melee and thrown weapons.
Food/Drink: Filter for disease-free cooked food and drink items with a limited condition
Apparel: Filter for outfits, armor and armor parts.
Notes: Filter for unread plans and recipes.
Keyring
Keys and passwords will be automatically collected under the MISC (KEYS) filter and hidden from the default MISC view.
Inventory Weight
View your inventory weight on a per-tab basis to find out where your carry weight is coming from.
View the combined weight of a stack of items, e.g. weight of an ammo type / stimpaks / junk
Navigation
Jump two tabs at a time by holding the Shift key while navigating left and right.
Jump directly to the first or last inventory tab by holding the Shift key while navigating up and down.
Jump directly to any inventory tab by pressing the 1-9 number keys.
How to use

First time installing a BA2-archive mod in Fallout 76?
If you are new to F76 modding and have not yet created Fallout76Custom.ini:
Download it from the Optional Files section in the Files tab.
Place the file in \My Games\Fallout 76\.
Then place the main file (BetterInventory.ba2) in your Fallout 76 Data folder and you’re ready to go.
Otherwise, if you have an existing Fallout76Custom.ini, add the following lines to it.
[Archive] sResourceArchive2List = BetterInventory.ba2If you already have this line, append BetterInventory.ba2 to the end of the existing line. Entries are separated by a comma.
Compatibility
This mod modifies the interface file Pipboy_InvPage.swf and will not be compatible with other mods that modify the same file.
Game updates to Pipboy_InvPage.swf may require a mod update for continued functionality.
Additional Notes
This is an interface modification. It does not use any hidden information that is not already available for you to view in the Pip-Boy. Nothing on the server is affected or changed in any way by this mod. This mod does not take any server-side interactions on your behalf. You must still equip weapons and consume food yourself.
