I was busy testing various custom race mods made with Race Compatibility SKSE so I can apply the techniques used by them in my own race mods. One of those mods happens to be the playable version of High Poly Children, because who doesn't like a good child underdog hero story? Thing is, with RCS, depending on what racial proxy keywords you use for your custom race, any magic effects applied to the proxy race apply to the custom race as well (e.g., Nedic Legends - Kothringi Race receives a 25-point boost to Warmth in Survival Mode, since they're Nord-based.)
Speaking of Survival Mode, this isn't necessarily the case when it comes to effects that increase resistance to Fatigue and Hunger, or grant immunity to Food Poisoning. Those effects specifically are controlled by a set of FormLists, rather than Value Modifiers, so just because an effect says your Bosmer-based race gets 25% resistance to Fatigue, if your race isn't in the appropriate FormList, your race doesn't actually get the resistance.
This is sadly the case with High Poly Children--specifically, with the playable version, since Survival Mode effects only affect the player. Since Bosmer, Altmer, Dunmer, Orc, Argonian, and Khajiit children aren't present in Survival Mode FormLists like their adult counterparts, they don't actually receive appropriate Survival Mode resistances. The only solutions are to add their race records to said FormLists in the Creation Kit (which results in mod conflicts) or to use Papyrus scripts to add them that way. Unless you have a little doohickey called FormList Manipulator... ;)
So what does it do?
This tiny patch adds Bosmer, Altmer, Dunmer, Orc, Argonian, and Khajiit children to the appropriate Survival Mode FormLists of their adult counterparts, properly granting them true Survival Mode support. This is done via FormList Manipulator, meaning no .ESP is involved, saving a slot in your ever growing load order. Below is a list of what races and FormLists are affected:
- Bosmer, Altmer, and Dunmer children are added to Survival_ExhaustionResistRacesMajor, granting them 25% resistance to Fatigue.
- Orc children are added to Survival_ExhaustionResistRacesMinor and Survival_HungerResistRacesMinor, granting them 15% resistance to Fatigue and Hunger.
- Argonian and Khajiit children are added to Survival_FoodPoisoningImmuneRaces, allowing them to eat raw meat without risk of Food Poisoning.
- Argonian children are added to Survival_ColdWeakRacesMajor, giving them 25% weakness to Cold.
- All of the above are true for each race's vampire counterparts.
Survival Mode, FormList Manipulator, and the playable version of High Poly Children are hard requirements. If you use a different version of HPC, you don't need this.
Compatibility?
Should be compatible with just about everything, since it's a FLM.ini file.
