    Any possible reason activating this mod in MO2 would cause game to crash before startup screen?
    It's definitely working as many people are using it without any problems, but I'm kinda at loss for reasons to CTD.

      Crashing on startup is either due to a missing master or wrong Form version. Can you succesful load the ESP in xEdit? Or does that give any errors?

      No, in SSEdit everything loads as normal; I'm using unupdated 1.6.640 version, can that somehow result in CTD? Like, maybe if Update.esm was changed or something.

      Crash on start up can also be caused by load order issues.

    There are a couple of dialogue conflicts with this and Innocence Lost Quest Expansion. It looks like a very simple merging of the conditions to patch, but could someone with more knowledge of quests than me take a look and confirm, please? >.>;

      I'd like to know as well if these conflicts need to be merged, or if the conflict is more important than that

      Q: "Will you make a patch for <insert mod>?
      A: "Not at the moment. Maybe later at some point. However, for me to keep my sanity, I'm only making patches for mods I'm using myself. My permission allow you can to make the patches though, so if you want to, feel free to."

      If anyone is still curious, both work if you place this after Innocence Lost Expansion. Poisoned her wine, did the quest, and then was able to recruit him.

    Can anyone confirm this works with RS children? Im looking at it in xedit and I dont see any conflicting datas, but I'm not the best at determining these things.

      Drop the mod near the end of your load order and it will work. LOOT places this much higher than it should be in my list. If you add "late loader" to the group metadata in LOOT it should place it appropriately when you sort from now on.

    Is there any chance we might get a version that includes Runa Fair-Shield, or a standalone? Her comment after Grelod's death is so ominous and I've always had the headcanon she beelines for the Brotherhood once she can

    Nice! Does he can be a follower too after becoming a member?

      Currently no, since children do not have follower dialogue. I might adress this in my other mod, Missing Follower Dialogue Edit, at some point.

      there's a new feature on the AdoptAventusFullyVoice mod that will make Aventus to be a follower with the patch for RelatioshipDialogueOverhaul.
      Going to try those mods along yours if its compatible.

      that's good to know, i use that EFF mod so that i can force him to be a follower and i also use RDO, so that might work out ok.

      i like the idea of having a adopted son mod that isn't just meant to be stupid and funny like that idiot son mod, i like the idea that there is a father son situation, perhaps the dialogue could further reflect the boy as what the vanilla game already offers to children when they are adopted, so they address you as their parent, but for Aventus i would hope he could potentially be much more than just that, with advanced TTS programs in use like eleven labs or possibly even using that Vasynth mod, i could see Aventus becoming much more than what he currently is in the game and actually turn into something truly amazing.

      it would be cool to have some kind of quest mod where the boy is your son and as you play something happens to him where you get seperated from him and have to get him back, what would be really cool is if you also got to play Aventus's side of the story, perhaps using the stealth mechanics in the game and trying not to be noticed while escaping his kidnapping, the kid already made one jail break out of that orphanage once and made his way all the way back to windhelm on his own, damn the more i write, the more i really like this idea. 

      another idea i have that no mods that i know of exist that work like this in this game, it would also be nice to play an origins story of Aventus and how the events of his story played out, perhaps as a sort of alternate story direction, maybe he doesn't get in contact with the brotherhood or the vanilla protagonist, but must take out old grelod himself, then he returns home and sleeps in his bed and wakes up in that house in the marsh and is recruited via the brotherhood. 

      the game could play out mostly the same from the vanilla game as Aventus could take out his targets for the brotherhood, this would shape an entirely new playthrough based solely on the idea that you are a kid who found himself in the brotherhood from one act he took on himself by taking the life of old grelod. 

      i'm sorry, i have an amazing imagination, and when i start writing, all kinds of possibilities come up and i just keep going and going.

    not a bad mod idea, there is a fanfiction i read a long time ago that had this same concept set in place, but i could see this as a great additional idea for roleplaying to continue his story, i mean he could potentially be your adopted son with this idea in mind where you could even potentially splice or use programs such as eleven labs AI to create an entire modded playthrough storyline that involves raising Aventus.

    i know there is that idiot son mod that exists lol, but i rather like the idea of branching a story using the kids of the game and turning it into something actually meaningful like what this mod offers somewhat, obviously this is kind of simple, but i could see his story being completely fleshed out into a quest as well as many other NPC's in the game giving them more depth in their story arch.

    I'd be genuinely surprised if Aventus doesn't return as a member of the Dark Brotherhood officially someday in a later Elder Scrolls game in the 22nd century

      You can still recruit him, but the dialogue may not appear, or he might not go to the Sanctuary.
