FAQ:
Q: Is it okay to port this mod to SSE?
A: You may port this mod if you want to, but please give me credit
for the original mod and link back to this page.
Q: Will you ever get to the children that you can adopt when their parents die?
A: Not in the immediate future. There are 15 extra children I would have to write
scripts for, and I'm afraid that would make the mod too script-heavy and may cause lag.
Q: Will this mod work with RS children/Simple Children/insertchildreplacerhere?
A: Yes. It should work with any of them. I made this mod based on the RS Children
mod. So their teenager & adult counterparts may not match the skin/hair color in a
different mod.
Q: Help the teenagers look weird.
A: The teenagers are a new race based on the original human races.they are just scaled down. So if the teenagers in your game look weird or don't have underwear. It's because of the meshes and textures you are using in your game.
Q: Will you make this mod work with your elven and beast children mod?
A: I'm working on it right now. It may take a while because that mod adds 12 children.
