About this image

Three of the children from my children overhaul project - Hrefna, Babette and Hroar.

The mod's now completely independent. And I think the most important thing is that anyone can easily edit children to their liking! I only realized after trying to create faces that I can only come up with so many.. and feel like they're not all completely unique. OTL So luckily, changing their faces is a really simple process. I hooked up the head to ECE, and it's now compatible with all of the custom sliders.. and the Vertex Edit feature works too! :'D

I want to say that it's done since all of the childrens' faces are now changed, but it still doesn't feel complete. ;_; And looking back, the weighting on the male body is really bad.. and the body isn't symmetrical. Even though the children will be clothed, I feel like I should try to get it right before moving on. EDIT: I mirrored the body and the weights! The vertices that poked out/stretched are no longer there... but his shoulders/torso still look uneven ;_; If anyone could help me with this... please let me know! Edit edit! It turns out that it was my resting pose that made his shoulders look uneven.. so it's all fixed. On another note, now there's a more noticeable neckseam. Curses.

      Yes of course! It has been a long time, but these were creators of the textures that were used for this mod. I believe most are still available.
      Faeofthewood (Waifan 2 Skin Set) for her freckles and moles in the face texture
      HelloSanta (SG Renewal), HHaley(Fair Skin Complexion), Navetsea(CBBE Skin), and Pikkatze(Smooth Faces) for their face and body textures, and brows

      I'd also highly recommend Freckle Mania and Skin Feature Overlays for additional freckles if you wish to put together your own as I don't know if Waifan 2 is still around (Fae had shared it off of Nexus years ago!).

    Wooooow! I'm already using a replacer for the children because I simply can't stand the vanilla children, but these just look awesome! So incredibly realistic! Great job.

      Thank you, Blushes! I'm glad you like them.

      I'm currently trying to see if I can think up and make outfits for some of them.. but it's a bit hard. After that I think they'll be ready.

      I`ve just read your edit edit!
      I´m not a mod creator, but i know how much work it must be to create a mod which is perfect in the eyes of the creator ( about the neckseam and your curses in the edit ), but let me say:
      In my eyes, you didn`t just changed the children/teenager. You´ve given them a soul!
      That`s fantastic and worth more than a neckseam or not.
      I play with "Multiple Adoptions". So i can give a beautiful home to at least six children.
      Two of them are Khajiits and one is an argonian, cause i like it multicultural, but i really can`t wait to see your amazing kids in my game!

      Thank you for your kind words.. I really appreciate it! Since I started working on this I've grown to like most of the children. My favorite has to be Skuli I'm so glad there's a multiple adoptions mod!

      I've seen the little khajiit and argonian mods too, and thought they were absolutely adorable! After this I have to get my game set up again and start anew I'd love to adopt them.
