Just in case anyone else is thinking this sounds like a really cool RP idea, but doesn't want to deal with all the bugs that come with adding a playable child race to your game, I found a few tricks to make this work without using this mod or a "playable child race." First just want to say, this is not me discouraging you from using this mod. I really appreciate everything the modders of this community do, I just really like having options personally...
My idea is; if you download cbbe bodyslide and/or himbo bodyslide, along with racemenu, you can pretty much create your own kid character to start as. Albeit it does require you to suspend your disbelief a bit since you are in control of when you "age up" rather than it happening because of a mod. Personally I just create three separate versions of my character, child, teen, adult respectively. Also its worth mentioning there IS a version of CBBE and Himbo too I think, that has underwear because making a character with a kid body without that is a little weird lol. Also if you want to start with your character as part of an existing skyrim family, you can use console commands to add your character to that faction household (you may also need to mess with their relationship rank). They should no longer try and kick you out of the house at night, though you may have to get creative with a place to sleep since all the beds will still be flagged as "owned." You may be able to fix that with console commands as well, not sure, or you can just plot down a deployable bedroll (see mods).
Lastly, I highly recommend "Journal of the Dragonborn" because that is the whole reason I personally started mixing creative writing with playing Skyrim! I hope this helps someone! I'm not going to get into specifics on how to do all that because all the information you need is readily available on the various mod pages and UESP wiki.
use racemenu you can alter and change the face i think it is compatible at least it didn't give me problems i am a nord race but my character looks like an elf i mean i don't get registered as one but at least i look like one you could give it a try if your still having problems cause i don't know if the mod author will fix the issue since it hasnt had an update since 2023
Thank you so much for porting this. I don't know if she ever got to see it, but I know she would have loved to see people still using and caring about her mods.

It's ok if not because I can still use command "showracemenu" but I am curious.
Thanks for your hard work and great mod for roleplay <3
