Are you tired of seeing the same face and outfits on almost all the children in the wasteland? Are you annoyed by all the creepy child clones? Well me too! This mod aims to completely fix and improve all the children in the Commonwealth. This mod gives every child in game (aside from Shaun) a complete makeover while keeping a completely lore friendly and vanilla feel.

Every child has a custom hairstyle to fit their location. Vault/Institute kids have neat tidy hair, children found in Diamond City have normal kept hairstyles and those found in the wasteland have messy hair. Almost every child has a custom face now that takes their family members into account, no more kids looking nothing like their parents/siblings.

This mod includes:
- 16 New faces.
- 43 New hairstyles.
- All mod and vanilla hair made hat compatible and added physics.
- Moles, Freckles and Dirt skin details for children.
- New body mesh that has actual feet and new underwear textures.
- New dirty skin textures.
- Vanilla child settles can now be commanded.
- 3 Glasses and goggles.
- 10 Different hats.
- 10 Brand new outfits, plus 3 with added jackets.
- Almost every piece of clothing (like shirts, pants and shoes) has multiple color and texture options.
- Special exclusive outfits for Nat, Kat and Nuka World Lucy. More to come soon.
- Full working dismemberment.
- Clothing ground meshes.
- 1st person meshes.
- New ai packages for children in Diamond City.
- Custom working Sewing Machine.


Diamond City children now have brand new schedules. Kids arrive at school by 8am and get out of class by 5pm. In the past they were stuck in class from 7am to 8pm. They all start heading home at 8pm - 11pm instead of 2am. Erin, Gavin and Phil now actually leave the school. After class you can find Erin in the marketplace, Gavin and Phil at the playground. Gavin will head back to the school to hang out with Sheng at 8pm since they are friends.

All new and vanilla clothing items can be crafted at the Children's Sewing Machine found with the other workbenches. There is a slight animation error when you start using the machine, your character will hold a hammer for a second before putting it away and sewing. I will try to fix this later on but it happens only for a moment and I feel its not noticeable.


There are two main files, one with Facegen and one without Facegen. The one with Facegen is based on vanilla texture sizes so if you use anything other than vanilla textures, you may run into brown faces, in that case please use the No Facegen file instead.

The Killable Children patch is meant to be used with the original Raider Children and Other Horrors of the Commonwealth. I highly suggest you do not install Killable Children if you do not have the Raider Children mod installed.

I am working on a huge patch/update for Raider Children and Other Horrors of the Commonwealth which will remove the need for any Killable Children mods.

FAQ / Troubleshooting  
=====================

Q: Is this mod compatible with (insert mod name)?
A: Does the mod edit vanilla children or their level lists? If it does then no it's not compatible and needs a patch.

Q: Can I install this mid-game?
A: Yes, but some of the DC children may not have their new packages. Open the console and click on the NPC and type disable and then enable. This will reset them and should fix any issues.

Q: Can I uninstall this mid-game?
A: I would not, you should test the mod out to see if you like it or not. The best way to do that is head to Diamond City, the majority of children can be seen there. Then decide if you like it or not.

Q: Will you make a patch for (insert other child overhaul mod)?
A: No, I think we all went in completely different directions with our mods. So I do not think our mods would go well together. You're free to make a patch yourself, though.

Q: Can adults wear the new clothing?
A: Sort of. They cannot wear the new hats because they will not fit right, but they can wear the outfits. The only issue is they will have child bodies and possible texture issues.

Q: Will you make these available for adults?
A: Some of them at a later date.

Q: Where do I get the new stuff from?
A: The Children's Sewing Machine allows you to craft all the new clothing.

Q: Is there any nudity/sexy stuff in this mod?
A: No. Also, don't ask for anything like that from me ever.

1.1:
