The aim of Immersive Children is to maintain child behavior whilst making them immersively mortal. This mod has taken quite the journey in achieving that aim. With the (surprisingly) complex nature of my mod comes an equally complex cross mod compatibility problem. One must use the One ImCh Patcher (my SkyProc patcher) to solve the problem of mod incompatibility. What kinds of mod are incompatible with Immersive Children? I urge you to read the following sections to figure out the answer to that question.
Types of Cross Mod Incompatibility
There are two types of cross mod incompatibility between Immersive Children and other mods: hard incompatibility and soft incompatibility.
Hard incompatibility means that another mod edits the same records as Immersive Children - in other words, a mod conflict. The mod that is lower in a load order will win the conflict and have its record edits present in one's game. Mods that edit vanilla records such as vanilla race records with the "ActorTypeNPC" keyword and vanilla furniture records with the "RaceToScale" keyword have hard incompatibility. Examples of mods with this kind of incompatibility include child appearance overhaul mods like RS Children and TK Children, and race overhaul mods like Disparity, Imperious, and Requiem.
Soft incompatibility is a strange type of incompatibility in that the incompatibility is not a mod conflict but a mod ignorance - a mod that is softly incompatible with Immersive Children contains records of the kinds relevant to Immersive Children that are unaffected by its core design by pure virtue of being new. Mods that create new records such as new furniture and/or custom races have soft incompatibility. Examples of mods with this kind of incompatibility include custom race mods like Temptress Race and Ashen Race, and a slew of new follower/child mods whose followers/children are each of a custom race.
It is possible that a mod is of both these types of incompatibility. Both of these types of incompatibility are resolvable by a compatibility patch created by my SkyProc patcher, One ImCh Patcher. However, a merged patch should always be created to ensure that all one's preferred record attributes are present in his/her game.
Types of Record Type Incompatibility
Record type incompatibility simply means that a mod conflicts with Immersive Children via a certain type of record, such as race or furniture record. A mod has record type incompatibility if it edits (hard incompatibility) or adds (soft incompatibility) the following types of records:
- Races with the "ActorTypeNPC" keyword (very common)
- Furniture that is not supposed to be used by children, such as those with the "RaceToScale" keyword (uncommon)
- Quests associated with non-ghost children (rare)
- Idle animations associated with children (extremely rare)
The next section lists a multitude of mods that I have found to be incompatible with Immersive Children according to the types of incompatibilities I have established above. To understand what kind of incompatibility each mod has, I have designated special type names informing one of that kind of incompatibility. The types of incompatibility are as follows:
Type RH stands for "race hard". It means that mods of this type edit vanilla race records that have the keyword "ActorTypeNPC".
Type RS stands for "race soft". It means that mods of this type add new/custom race records with the keyword "ActorTypeNPC". NOTE: This incompatibility will be an issue ONLY if there exist new NPCs of this new race.
Type FH stands for "furniture hard". It means that mods of this type edit vanilla furniture records that are supposed to be unusable by children, such as those that have the keyword "RaceToScale".
Type FS stands for "furniture soft". It means that mods of this type add new furniture records that are supposed to be unusable by children, such as those that have the keyword "RaceToScale".
Type O stands for "other". It means that the mod has conflicts with types of records that are very uncommonly conflicted with, such as idle animations and quests.
Incompatible Mods
NOTE: Mod titles that are italicized mean that these mods have more than one type of incompatibility. Mod titles that have "(?)" at the end mean that the incompatible records these mods contain are of questionable usage (basically I am unsure if the mod should be in that section).

*Lamae is an exceptional case of Type RS incompatibility because her race is beyond the patching capability of my SkyProc patcher. However, this is an issue of the Lamae follower herself; her skeleton is unusually small compared to the vanilla skeleton, so as a result she will never look at you in the eyes. This is due to the fact that both her race height and NPC height are around 1.0, so she is looking straight ahead instead of at your face because it is as if she is of regular 1.0 height. The problem is her unusually small skeleton. Vimune has the exact same problem, but she is correctly flagged by my patcher as a child because of her vanilla child voice.
