Substitute (ie copy/paste over) the following (see below) over the appropriate
lines in your xxx.plr file (which is located under your "Save" directory).
These lines go in the last section in the file.  Make sure that you back up
your xxx.plr file first.

Also, DON'T make any changes to your settings from within the game afterwards,
as your FF settings will revert back to the default settings and you'll have
to do this again.

Good Luck..........

I've got that installed, but there is no setting for centering weight.
It seems that some other settings stop it working, but what?
