All credit goes to tripthe rift , all the assests used in both mods were created by them. I simply edited them to my own peronal taste.
I have been using TKAA since it first came out. It brings the children up a standard of a game filled with many other high quality NPC replacers, and has all the patches for mods that I use. Just one mod with a few patches and all the children are covered.
When Skychild was released, I thought to myself, "ah, why upset my load order?", same mod with the same number of patches, and the only benifits is the higher poly heads(I don't even run high ploy heads on the adults).
BUT! Skychild is the better mod for a few main reasons:
-It only covers the base game children, so extra children can be addreded in a seperate patch/mod in a more modular way.
-Its easy to patch (it's more of a child framework)
-high poly head does look better, in making the low poly heads look more childlike, with larger facial features, the morphs have to stretch certain areas making them more noticablely low poly.
So why this mod?
When swapping over to Skychild, there was a few things I didn't like.
-It seemed like the female children gained a few years in age (more like tiny adults) while the males stayed the same.
-Most of the female children wear the same pants (opposite to the point of adding all the new clothes)
To me the porblem stems from the short skirts, they make the torso appear much shorter and the legs much longer, unlike the full dresses added by TKAA. They show off the the new pants and its much thicker (adult like) build, there was to much contrast between the thin (childlike) upper body and the thicker bottom half for me.
Since the bodies in both mods are high poly, I reverted the vanilla length female clothes and thinner (childlike) bodies.
The "Revert" Main File has no .esp and is safe to install/uninstall at anytime. It contains only meshes that revert the TKAA bodies and female dresses. The males remane the same. The female fine clothes are not included as it would need a patch .esp.
Opional "FineClothes" file replaces the fine clothes and reverts TKAA female boots, it contains a Skychild replacement .esp (let it overwrite or place below Skychild).
It stops the females from using the male fine boots, that have to be wide enough to fit over the males pants legs, but clips thru the females long dress.
Reverts the females to using the TKAA female boots that work best with the TKAA fine clothes.
Optinal file "Revamp" contains only meshes, and are my take on the TKAA dresses. Merge into the main file or install as a new mod and place below all other Skychild mods.
Note: At this time it only contains the merchant dress. I'm pretty Noob at outfit studio, and it is a slow process of editting, testing, waching the child during animations, looking for clipping, and often times completly redoing everthing. I will be adding more when the quality of a dress is high enough, so check back!
