PackHorse

Adds a skill that increases the maximum carry weight.
Are there any mods to remove the weight limit in Valheim?
There are three different approaches, and they are not interchangeable. PackHorse adds a skill that raises maximum carry weight as you level it. AllTheBases edits the game's base values, including carry weight, directly. ItemStacks attacks the problem from the other side by cutting item weight and raising stack sizes.

The details
PackHorse is a skill, not a config slider. Its README describes a pack horse skill that levels up while you move with a full inventory and raises your maximum carry weight as it does. That means relief arrives gradually through play rather than the moment you install it — good if you want the cap eased without deleting it, wrong if you expected to type a number and be done.
AllTheBases is the direct route. It edits the game's base values, carry weight among them, alongside health, stamina, eitr and build range. Because it changes a base value rather than granting a skill bonus, the new limit applies immediately and equally at every point in a playthrough.
ItemStacks changes the arithmetic instead of the cap. Its documented defaults multiply stack size by 10 and item weight by 0.1, and both can be set per item or turned off independently. A hauling trip that was blocked by weight is often really blocked by slots, and this addresses both at once.
ItemStacks carries a real data-loss warning, so read it before installing on a world you care about. Its README states that loading a world without the mod installed, or reducing stack sizes later, will lose any items sitting in a stack above the new limit. Its per-item config entries are only generated after you join a world once. Note also that it was last updated in 2021 — it still has substantial download numbers, but check it against your current game version before trusting a long-running save to it.
For multiplayer, PackHorse and AllTheBases can both be installed on the server to enforce their configuration, which is the sane arrangement when a carry limit is meant to be the same rule for everyone. Stack and weight changes should match across the group as well, since that is exactly the setting whose mismatch causes the item loss described above.

Related questions
- What is the default carry weight in Valheim?
- 300 units. Past that you are encumbered and move very slowly. A base-value mod raises that number directly; a skill mod raises it as the skill levels.
- Which approach removes encumbrance fastest?
- Editing the base value, because it applies the moment the config is set. A carry-weight skill has to be levelled first, and stack or weight multipliers reduce how much your haul weighs rather than raising the cap.
- Does removing the weight limit affect game balance?
- It removes the logistics constraint that gives boats, carts and outposts a purpose. Raising the cap moderately, or lightening items rather than uncapping weight entirely, keeps some of that tension.
