Enchanting description: Carrying capacity increased by points. Fortify Carry Weight increases the target's maximum Carry Weight, thereby increasing the total weight that can be carried. It is similar to the Feather effect in previous Elder Scrolls games. All characters begin the game with a Carry Weight of 300, regardless of race or gender. Increasing Stamina increases the maximum Carry Weight by five for each level point. It is possible to carry more items that the Carry Weight statistic, but then a message stating that your are overencumbered and cannot run will be posted.
Carry weight is a crucial metric in Skyrim that dictates how much weight your character can carry. A larger carry weight means your character can carry more items. Thankfully, there are ways to increase your carry weight with cheats (console commands).
This guide assumes you know how to open and use the console (press the ` or ~ key to open). For help using and opening the console, see this page.
Type 'player.modav carryweight 400' into console, the 400 can be any number and that is the amount it will add to your carry weight. Will that be permanent or will it have to be done all over again if you close the game for a bit then come back and start the game up again? Edited by ElysiumHeart, 08 October 2016. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a very big game, and with so much to do, it's easy to accidentally do something you may regret later on. Rather than falling into pitfalls or finding out crucial.

In the intense battle against Morokei for the Staff Of Magnus, you took one lightning blast too many (or maybe a stray dual-casted firebolt from me, was kind of confusing at the time) and that was your end.
In Skyrim, the weight your character can carry is decided by the CarryWeight actor value. So whilst there's no 'CarryWeight Command' per se, you can increase/decrease your carry weight by modifying the CarryWeight actor value with the set actor value command.
To set you character's carry weight to 500, you'd use the following command:
player.setav CarryWeight 500
If you wanted to set carry weight to 1,500, you would change '500' to '1500', like so:
player.setav CarryWeight 1500
Alternatively, you can make the game temporarily ignore all carry weight limitations for your character by running the following command:
ToggleGodMode
The above command will also make your character invincible and stats like stamina, magicka, etc will not drain. You can toggle this mode off by running the command again. Learn more about god mode here.
