How to? - new adoptable children + custom house

[Aetherderius]

House mod that needs kids! I've created three NPC children that I intend to be adoptable and be able to live in my custom home. I have checked the creationkit wiki and cannot find anything.

How do I make the children adoptable and how do I make them go to my custom house?

To adopt children you need the Hearthfire expansion pack, there's no other way to do it, sadly. ): There might be a mod for adoptable children without Hearthfire though, but I honestly don't know.

Sorry. I should've clarified. I have the Hearthfire DLC, and am using it's Master File.

Oh! I don't know much about making things and stuff but maybe you could just edit the looks of other adoptable children to make them look how you want?

Maybe this would help?

I'm not an expert but they have to be in the adoptable faction, there is a list of kids who are in this faction and some who aren't. Also they need to have the right relationship level, I believe it has to be 1 (friend) or higher. Best thing is probably to look at existing adoptable kids such as Lucia and Sofie and see how they're handled.

Also adoptable children who are orphaned during gameplay are handled by the Ophanage quest, if they aren't adopted quick they get packed off to Honorhall.Not sure how that works its all rather complex but its a separate quest.

To make them move into a custom house it needs appropriately tagged child chest, , idleplaydollmarker, at least 2 marked child beds, a child bedroom marker and a child sandbox marker and a child practise dummy. Oh and hide & seek x-marker headings outside linked to loc type centermarker which are also used by the. tag game.

Last but not least you need the following mod which basically makes the adoption quest mobile so you can move them into mod houses. The mod includes instructions for modders which tells you everything you need to do to make the house adoption friendly

if you have created them then you should also be able to add the relationship needed. check other children to see exactly what it is called.
when creating new children to be adopted the easiest method is too copy an existing one then change appearance, dialogue,etc.

Thank you all very much for your help, I appreciate it. I have decided however, to just have the children 'packaged' with the house. I'll be uploading the mod to the Workshop quite soon, when I've polished it up a bit.
