Avoiding The Nursery

[ParanormalJones]

I'm currently pursuing Krobus' housemate route for the first time, and I'm wondering, is there any way to avoid adding a nursery to my house? Obviously I'm not gonna have kids, but I really want the NEXT house upgrade, which is the cellar.
Also, if there isn't a way to avoid getting a nursery, is it possible to rearrange/redecorate the nursery to look like just another room? Because if so, that's fine. It's just been a really long time since I've made it this far in a save and I forget what's possible.

I just really do not want a nursery in my house.

I don't think you can skip the nursery upgrade but you can turn the room into something else or remove it all together if I'm not mistaken. Once you upgrade it the second time, just go visit Robin in her shop during opening hours and go to "House Renovations" and request "Remove Crib". It won't cost you a thing too.

If you go to Robin once the upgrade is finished there should be a new option that says remove crib. Once you do that Krobus should not ask to have kids. You can also remove the decor, redecorate and replace the wallpaper and flooring. You should be fine from there :)

Just ask Robin to destroy the cradle. Then the nursery will just be a room that you can use for something else.

It could be a tea room, an aquarium room, an indoor garden, an in-home chapel, or just a guest room. Get creative.

You could also turn it into your bedroom and destroy the wall in the bedroom and make a huge living room.

He will ask you to adopt once you are in a house with him.

Definitely not in the vanilla game. The arrangement is purely platonic there. He only helps to raise already existing children from previous marriages.

That's another good option too!

Are you sure? Here is a video from CharlieBarley where Krobus moves in with her and they adopt a child. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nGlW4pgDaA Timestamp : 23:08

From the wiki:
"If the player is not married, Krobus will move into the farmhouse three days after accepting a void ghost pendant. Like the marriage candidates, he will add his own room to the right of the bedroom. He will not set up an area in the space behind the farmhouse.

Krobus leaves the Farmhouse only on rainy days, when he will stand on the front porch. At 13 hearts, he will give the player a Stardrop, like a spouse, and may change wallpaper or flooring like a spouse.

Although the player's relationship with Krobus is platonic, the game's roommate mechanics are almost identical to the marriage mechanics, with the following exceptions:

Kissing is replaced with hugging.
No ceremony takes place.
Krobus will never get jealous if the player gives a gift to a marriage candidate.
Instead of divorce, Krobus can be evicted for free. However, the player still needs to do this through the book in the Mayor's Manor. After Krobus moves out, he is silent towards the player and will refuse gifts.
You cannot have or adopt children with Krobus. However, he helps with raising your existing children from previous marriages.
Krobus does not do chores like a spouse would."

Also, literally in the description of the video you posted:
"Also, just in case you're wondering, I downloaded the "Family Planning" mod in order to adopt kids with Krobus! "

TBH I've never used that room as a nursery (not married, no kids in my 1000+ ingame hours). The first thing I ever do is scrap the cradles and replace that hideous dinosaur print wallpaper, then I keep my coffee kegs in there.
