UNIQUE CHILDREN

With this mod, all players in multiplayer, depending on their spouse (or ex-spouse), have different looking children.
Of course, you can also use it in single player.
Compatible with Ridgeside Village and SV Expanded.
(it should also be compatible with mods where you can have multiple spouses, as long as these mods don't convert the children into NPCs or change their appearance)






Info:
Singleplayer: The mod try to find the right spouses for your children.
If you think its not correct, then open the children.json in Unique Children mod folder (you have to load your savegame once
for the file to be created) and edit it.

Multiplayer: All players must have this mod and same sprites installed, otherwise his/her game will maybe crash.
(If you play as client, then your own children.json will not load. The game uses the host's children.json)

Non-same-sex couples: children look similar to the spouse
Same-sex couples: children look different, depending on the spouse
Divorced children: look like the ex-spouse(s).

children.json:
    "Child_Name": "Your Childs Name",
"Child_Gender": "Male or Female",
    "Child_DarkSkin": "True or False",
"Child_Adopted": "True or False",
"Child_Sprites": "Which sprites folder the child use",
"Spouse_Name": "the name of the father/mother",
"Spouse_Married": "True or False"

For Example:
(Dave is not adopted, he looks like Shanes child, but the Father is Harvey and you are married with Harvey.)

{
"Child_Name": "Dave",
"Child_Gender": "Male",
    "Child_DarkSkin": "False",
"Child_Adopted": "False",
"Child_Sprites": "Shane",
"Spouse_Name": "Harvey",
"Spouse_Married": "True"
}



About divorce:
Spoiler:  
Show

If you are divorced AND additionally used the witch shrine, then it is unfortunately no longer
possible to find out who was the ex-spouse.
So the child(s) will use the "Default" sprites.
But you can edit this manually in children.json (Child_Sprites).



Info:
  • It already contains sprites for Stardew Valley, Stardew Valley Expanded and Ridgeside Village
  • It works with pre-exists children and later existing children
  • It show some information in socialmenu
  • You can rename your child (with rightclick in socialmenu, in Android Version just click on the children icon in socialmenu)
  • I fixed the animations for babies and children, so finally all players can see them animated
  • Sleep sprite in bed
  • Babies are now separated in boys and girls and have their own sprites
  • Easy to add new child sprites for custom spouses


OPTIONAL SEASON CLOTHES
If you want to create more clothes (Toddlers only), for each season:

Clothes_Spring.png
Clothes_Spring2.png
Clothes_Spring3.png
Clothes_Spring4.png

Clothes_Summer.png
Clothes_Summer2.png
Clothes_Summer3.png
Clothes_Summer4.png

Clothes_Fall.png
Clothes_Fall2.png
Clothes_Fall3.png
Clothes_Fall4.png

Clothes_Winter.png
Clothes_Winter2.png
Clothes_Winter3.png
Clothes_Winter4.png

And for Spirit's Eve festival (27. Fall):
Costume.png

Or if you want to create your own clothes for a specific day, name the png like the corresponding season + day.
for example:
Clothes_Fall6.png or Clothes_Spring13.png


For Creators/Modders:
You can create for custom NPCs / spouse(s) their own children sprites.
Just add a new folder (with the name of the npc) in assets/Adopted AND assets/Natural and add the png files.
That's it!
If you are the Host, do not forget to send it to all players.





Btw, if you want to talk with your children, then I recommend my mod Unique Children Talk.

(I am not an artist, I used vanilla sprites for this example pack.
Pls don't ask me for custom children images for custom NPCs)

Thank you to the Stardew Valley Expanded and Ridgeside Village Team for the permission for the hair sprites :).
