I guess the best way to manage this is to just have cut offs:

Tiny and small objects are weightless

  • So you can carry 9,000 marbles or arrows without worrying
  • torches, lanterns, potions, scrolls, provisions, etc etc etc

Medium and higher objects weigh 1

  • Bedroll
  • Longsword
  • Crossbow
  • Mace

Large objects weigh 4

  • Two handed bardiche axe
  • Upper plate mail torso
  • Lower body plate mail including sabatons
  • Round shield

Huge objects weigh 8

  • Tower shield
  • Folding ballista
  • Black cauldron
  • Siege Bow
  • Hand Cart

And then you give your character like a limit of, I dunno, 24.

You can carry three suits of plate mail and one tower shield before you've got a problem, ex.
