children can wear adult clothing mod request

[bjorn]

ive been searching everywhere for a mod that does this and cannot find one. its honestly really suprising this hasnt been done yet, anyone willing to make one? its frusturating that children can only a tiny amount of clothing

you can easily write a patch for this to allow all adult clothing to be worn by children as its basically just removing one line of code per item usually.

That's not the problem.

The problem is that adult clothing doesn't fit on the child body model by default. Adults have 5 different body models, Male, Female, Fat, Thin and Hulk. Technically you could probably use the 'Thin' model and slap it on a child (that's what previous child mods did on the workshop) but that's not how the current system is set up in vanilla.

Ya making a mod to remove the restriction would be easy, but then your children wearing adult clothes would all have purple squares replacing their bodies. There's more to it. The current clothing system would have to be patched to add the child body type and then every piece of clothing would need new art added for that bodytype. This kind of deep patching of core mechanics like the apparel system can also lead to compatibility issues. So I would say it's probably never going to happen.

There are mods that add more variety of childrens clothes though.

You could just add these mods and that should cover most of your (vanilla) bases.

For a moment I thought this was someone wanting to have child inappropriate clothing on Rimworld.

im talking all clothing, modded and vanilla. though i do get your point, this would be difficult to add because of the current system in place. though it could be done-- with minor incompatabilities. and yeah yeah i could make this myself IF i actually knew how to code and was tech savvy. the closest thing to coding i can do is changing the settings on rdr2 singleplayer mods lol

The hardest part isn't the coding, it's making the clothes for each individual apparel / armor piece. Unless you're fine with using the 'thin' graphics for all your children pawns (that's how previous child mods did it essentially)

Yes, i am fine with that. Plus, children usually always have that body shape in real life. its odd to have a literal child have the hulk body type.

You could ask around at the 'Babies and Children' and / or the 'children, school and learning' mod how they did it for their children and see if it is possible to apply for children in general. I think they should have the answer on how to do that.

Another method without involving code would be to copy paste every individual clothing piece you want in a new child xml file and adjust costs and sizes for children and then point to the 'thin' version of the graphics. Arguably this would take more time but is easier to do than coding.

Lastly if you got the cash, there's the rimworld mod market, maybe a decent enough coder is willing to do it for you for a small fee.

While those are good ideas-- i do not know how to code, nor even modify xml files. I am also under the age of 18, and do not have a way to commission someone to make this. I could watch a tutorial on how to do XML Editing, but im sure id give up halfway. Im kind of stuck, so i guess ill just wait another 5 years till someone makes this.
