Adoption not working well
Hi guys, so, i'm trying to adopt all adoptable kids in skyrim, but it doesn't work. Orphans in riften doesn't show the adopting dialogue, and when i try to adopte kids outside by killing their parents, they just don't change.
For exemple, i tried to adopt the 2 girls from Rorikstead, so i killed their father, but they just keep playing outside as if i did nothing.
Did i miss a step or something?

I don't believe you can adopt by killing people's parents. Try going to Honorhall Orphanage.

Do you have Hearthfire installed and active in your save?

Well, with Hearthfire you can adopt orphaned children who begin the game with parents (such as Braith). The game doesn't appear to limit this to accidental/enemy-caused deaths, so, effectively, yep, you can murder someone and take their children. What a heartwarming family memory!
Like Gnewna said you should check that you have hearthfire installed and enabled. Also from past experience you need a fully furnished house that has a kids room. Also I believe you can only adopt 2 children at a time unless you have a mod that allows you to adopt more.

I have a mod allowing me to adopt more, and heartfire installed too.

Are you able to offer to adopt Lucia in Whiterun? Oh! Who's in charge of the Riften Orphanage, Grelod the Kind or Constance?

I adopted Lucia, and killed Grelod.

The dialogue simply doesn't show up.

Simple question, have you run loot?
Since the adoption plugin must be at correct place and overwrites some files.

Something like this.

Nothing should replace the files from the adoption mod.

Is this on a new game with Hearthfire multiple adoptions?

From the description:

It is strongly recommended you start a new game to use this mod. If not, you might be unable to adopt any children, because Skyrim stores the vanilla scripts in your save game if they were already running.

In fact i already adopted some children, but now the dialogue doesn't show up as it did before.

How many children have you adopted?
Default is 2, if you have room for them you can adopt 6. But you have to set home for them first in the adoption mod.

And after reading your message, i've checked the mod and... yeah, no more than 6 kids. Weird that i missed that, i usually read very carefully...

YEAH , Hearthfire multiple adoptions mod it's good but children no longer chat with parents anymore, like boys asking for new sword and clothes, and girls no longer asking for money, dolls, money to parents and not giving gifts or anything to parents, I very annoyed 6 children, do not control again with parents with this mod
