How to carry more stuff?

Raise your stamina on levelup, or use a mod with a backpack.

Or if you have SKSE, download the skyrim uncapper and set it so that you get carry weight with health and magicka as well :)

Here are a few ways that I can think of:
1. You can increase stamina.
2. You can have followers that you give them stuff to help you carry more items before leaving a dungeon area.
3. You can find some wearable items that will give you extra carrying capacity.
4. You can enchant some armor items to give you more carrying capacity.
5. You can use a potion to give you some temporary carrying capacity.
6. You can use a blessed stone to give you some ability to carry more items or reduce item weights.
7. You can add mods that will give you more capacity or let you put items in some safe storage from whereever you are.

In addition to the other suggestions, there's a mod called Bandoliers which is available either on Steam or the Nexus which allows you to craft (using either just leather/leather strips, or for some of the bigger ones you also need to make buckles at the forge from iron ingots - there's also an option to use an extra ingredient to make them black, can't remember what it is, something from spiders IIRC, added by the mod) various pouches, vial-carriers, and bandoliers which you can wear to increase your carry capacity (by 25-75 points each I believe). You can end up covered in the things, which might look a bit odd, but they go well with e.g. the Thieves Guild Armour and the robes you get from the College. One or two of the pouches (rather than absolutely covering yourself in them) will look pretty good with most of the vanilla outfits/armour, in my opinion, but YMMV.

There are also mods which add backpacks, my favourite requires Frostfall (which also adds craftable backpacks of its own) and lets you pick up an existing knapsack such as the one in the torture chamber at Helgen and then fix it at the forge so you can use it as a proper backpack, if you have certain other items like a woodcutting axe or a cooking pot they will also appear hanging from it when you wear it: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/32847/? I use Hypothermia instead of Frostfall now, because my PC can't handle a lot of scripts, but I honestly miss this mod. It only adds about 50-75 to your carry capacity, but I just love the way it looks.

(Also, consider whether you need to be carrying that much - after the first couple of levels I rarely pick up that much stuff. I'll carry a set of ebony armour if it kills me, but iron boots that sell for 10 septims? Nah. I don't pick up weapons below elven, and by the time I'm seeing a lot of elven I probably don't pick those up either, unless I want things to enchant. My main character has Requiem installed and her default carry weight is about 100 points, she's a cloth mage so she doesn't have to account for the weight of armour, but anyway, I made a couple of things from the Bandolier mod because I like how they look, and I've ended up putting them in a chest because I didn't want her to end up carrying that much stuff - if I have the capacity I'll probably fill it up, but it feels a bit too gamey for me, and after a point I can never sell everything I find anyway.)

I use my horse to carry a lot of stuff, but I do try to find a spot to dump most of the extra.

Or you can open the console, type: player.modav carryweight 500. Or whatever amount you want to add.

[Gunsaremagic]

Messing with the console can have bizar random unforeseen consequences later on. They really only should be used to sort a bug, or test something, not for game play.

I have had no problems using console for weight or for fov

[Malvastor]

One of the Standing Stones makes your armor weightless and gives you an extra 100 pounds of carry weight. Both armor trees also have perks that remove armor weight, and if you use heavy armor it's a lifesaver.

Eh.. i dunno maybe you're doing it wrong.

i use console commands all the time and have hundreds of hours in this game (though i see you have even more still!) and never had any problems with using them.

Certainly a carryweight console command will never cause a problem >.>

i suppose there are some that could, like if you disable or markfordelete a quest NPC that's annoying you it could cause you to later not be able to complete there quest and things. But it just takes common sense to avoid doing things like that.

The console should absolutely never cause issues unless you're doing something you shouldn't be. Stuff like modifying carry weight and stats should never ever cause issues unless you're trying to set them to absurdly high numbers.

anyone knows how to inchant armor?

With console commands...?

If you mean in game, go find an Enchanting table. There's one at dragon's reach in Whiterun.

[gnewna]

markfordelete can cause issues even on fairly mundane items like tidying up corpses, I believe. modav is safer than forceav, which can cause a change to be permanent, this won't necessarily lead to other problems but if you decide you want to go back to a legit carry weight - e.g. you increased it so you could move all your crap from one house to another without having to walk from Riften to Solitude - you may find it's stuck, but it's still best to be cautious about using the console, because it can cause weird and unforseen issues, especially if you don't really know what you're doing and just got the code off a forum post. (I do use it for things like changing the timescale and adding the odd minor item to my inventory, but I avoid it if I can. Had too many playthroughs mysteriously break after I'd done 'harmless' things with the console and hadn't done anything else out of the ordinary, including not having mods at all on some of them.)
