Yeah I mean unfortunately some cheesing will be required. Funnily enough you can just run in with the mercs and have them distract while you pick the lock on your daughters cage then slip out. You leave the mercs to die basically which I don't really wanna do but you either cheese it like that or cheese grind up 10 people and brute force it. Just a shame that no matter what the start requires some form of cheese.

I had a tough fight but it was manageable with one squad of mercs and kitting out everyone I met along the way with crossbows. Although I use the 3 attack slots mod so my mercs probably ganged up on the guards and my bow users definitely did.

Alright this has to be said. Using the parent and daughter slave start...explain to me why on earth did you make the guards that hold your daughter captive all 80+ in stats? Hell some are even 90+. This is just stupid. Like your basically telling me, to rescue your daughter in this start that you have to bare minimum show up with atleast 10 heavily armored guys all 80+ in stats themselves. And even then that might only just be breaking even. All this to rescue your daughter who has 0 stats across the board. I couldn't even break the guards with multiple groups of hired mercs. Like..just why did you think this was the right thing to do here? Like you realize that you basically turned this unique start into just another rebirth slave start where I end up doing the same old thing as in any other slave start. By the time I get to a point in game where I could tackle these guards I'd have probably forgotten all about them completely negating the point of choosing this start to begin with.

I really love your mod and have translated it into Chinese! Thank you for creating such an amazing mod.

Hmmm... forgot all about this mod. Was just planning on making smaller characters and have them get a little taller every few months via the plastic surgeon. Thanks for the mod!

"Model Not found" in Kaizo Collection happens because of wrong mod load order, you can find correct one in the collection's discussion(at the top of the page). It works as intended.

There should be a text file somewhere in the Kenshi directories where all your mods are in listed.

hi, among others, kaizo. do you know where I can create a list or smth? Would be tedious to write them all down
Lawh  [author] May 12 @ 5:26am 
What other mods are you guys using? I don't get that and I'm not sure where to look.

i also have the greenlander child error and at least saw a hive child (havent used the mod long)
ֆֆ Frog May 5 @ 4:21am 
Still not working. and i do notice a crash when entering skimsands?
ֆֆ Frog Apr 24 @ 5:07pm 
but say for instance, it will still have shek children or scorchlander children
ֆֆ Frog Apr 24 @ 5:05pm 
It runs without the greenlanders
Lawh  [author] Apr 24 @ 7:24am 
Hmm. Not sure what's up, but I did just do an update so it could have something to do with that. I'll see if I can figure it out at some point. Does the game still run or does it crash?
ֆֆ Frog Apr 24 @ 7:10am 
Hi Lawh, so for some reason i get the error messsage: "Error: character model for greenlander child not found". This mod has worked before and ive had it for a while but now it doesnt. is there a fix?
Zirda Apr 23 @ 3:19pm 
Got one but seems like there is some RNG factors involved since I couldn't get the previously mentioned NPC to appear after multiple attempts. This is "Retired Slaver"
This NPC is ~30ish dialogue clicks without any exit if you select "Hey..".
This is the initial conversation: https://i.imgur.com/LGM9dXX.jpeg
Options:
"1. Hey..
2. !I'M NOT DOING STORY"

I don't recall the hashish hiver having those options but I could have missed it. Still there is little info in this interraction of what story I am going for or declining. Could def be clearer imo
Zirda Apr 23 @ 2:49pm 
@Pode Could def be some conflicts/jank of using too many mods. Currently reloading old saves to get some proper print screens but the NPC I recall getting stuck in a long convo with was a Hiver named "hashish enthusiast" In a swamper dome building. 90% sure it was in Shark.

With so many mods it is hard to pinpoint the source etc. Only other npc I've tagged from this mod is the hive prince at the northern coast of Great Desert.
Pode Apr 23 @ 2:21pm 
There is a cancel option in the dialogs for this mod, sounds like the mega mod pack broke them
Zirda Apr 23 @ 2:08pm 
Hey there. Just some quick constructive feedback coming in.
I'm using the big overhaul pack "MEGA Kaizo/UWE+ 2025" that includes this mod and I've stumbled upon some content from this mod but I feel like it's not built to be part of the world but be the main story.

I'm not playing a child focused playthrough and when I've stumbled upon NPCs with speech options I talk to them to see what is up but there is no way to cancel out of the story arc stuff for searching for your child.

"If you see characters that usually aren't there, they are story characters." is a valid approach but it can force players into things they didn't know or sign up for when included in larger modpacks.

My suggestions: cancel out option of dialogue, map markers for added content (Jim's house etc, or else indicators of where the mod is from on NPCs

Anyhow cool mod and keep it up, just providing my view. I just liberated Jim's house in the swamps.
Lawh  [author] Apr 21 @ 5:04am 
No probs, and if there are any issues or unwanted changes please do come by and let me know.
Anrhaa Apr 20 @ 9:08pm 
@Myst Leissa. When I said I got around to check the mod, I mean with FCS. I just finished checking today update and the mod no longer deletes/changes default town's resident. All of them are added with bar squads.

Thanks Lawh! Awesome work!
Myst Leissa Apr 20 @ 5:58pm 
@Anrhaa, Have you imported your save game since the mod updated? If you don't do that you might have lingering data deletions/removals/changes that could reflect the older patch.
Lawh  [author] Apr 20 @ 3:49am 
Not sure why they were missing. Might have been a mistake with thinking they were cage guards rather than gate guards.
Anrhaa Apr 19 @ 8:42pm 
I finally was able to check the mod. The Rebirth Gate Guards seems to still be deleted somehow and what about all those AI task? Are they used or are from an early version?

Anrhaa Apr 16 @ 12:27pm 
@Lawh. Thanks dude
Lawh  [author] Apr 16 @ 11:34am 
The Rebirth guards shouldn't do that and is likely a relic from an older version.

I can see if I can add kids to towns without overwriting anything.
Anrhaa Apr 16 @ 11:25am 
The mod deletes 5 'Rebirth Gate Guards' and 2 'Rebirth Cage Guards'. So the gates sometimes can't be opened.

Also the mod replaces several residents characters from lots of towns, replacing them with this mod version. Could you restore them back to improve compatibility with other mods?
Pode Feb 11 @ 3:06pm 
Lots of hints in the comments below yours. Even if you figure it out, I'd still go collect the hint in Port North.

Where is the daughter ? 😭😭😭
Pode Feb 3 @ 4:42pm 
My roleplay family is from Bast, and Dad can usually find a lead near enough there thinking about who might have taken her, whether she'd survive it, and thus where to start looking.
Lawh  [author] Feb 3 @ 3:44pm 
You can check the old posts on this thread to find some random tidbits. Glad you like it!
Melf Feb 3 @ 3:23pm 
fantastic mod, any clues to search or find the lost Child?
Sindeney Jan 10 @ 4:35am 
EXM, could you please tell me where can i find the " actual child" who was kidnapped.
Lawh  [author] Jan 5 @ 1:48pm 
All is good, thanks for your work. If anyone finds any issues, please do let me know if you get a chance!

Hi!

First off, thank you so much for the awesome work on this mod! I really enjoyed it and decided to translate it into Spanish for personal use. Afterward, I thought it might be a good idea to share the translation so others can enjoy it too. Of course, all credits go to you for the original mod.

Please note that anyone who wants to use this translation will need to download the original mod as well. You can find the translation here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3400904237

I hope this doesn’t cause any issues, and again, thanks for your amazing work!
Narlindir Dec 30, 2024 @ 8:48am 
how do I uninstall this?
even importing the game just crashes
Pode Nov 21, 2024 @ 8:35am 
I roleplayed as a captured native of Bast, so I went back home and started looking in the nearby slave camps and shops until I found a lead. I think there's also a random bar spawn character who gives a clue if you find him.
Lifelover 树羽 Nov 21, 2024 @ 6:01am 
@BreakUrSelf any clue on how to find Aiko? I immediately escaped Rebirth and not sure what clues to follow, so I could use a lot of help from someone who managed to continue on the questline!
Karsian Nov 18, 2024 @ 12:38am 
@Lawh thank you so much, i hope my patch helps other players, thanks again for your work doing the children mod :)
Lawh  [author] Nov 17, 2024 @ 7:15pm 
@krizzygirl206 I always start doing the same thing. I sometimes try to do a solo run but it never ends being that way.

@Crus I added your mod to the description. It's really nice work. It separates the children from the adults even more now.
Karsian Nov 17, 2024 @ 4:23pm 
Hi, my friend! First of all, I want to thank you for your work. I’ve made an animation patch for the people who use your mod, and I’m sharing the link here in case anyone wants to try it out. Best regards, and I hope everyone enjoys their adventures in Kenshi as much as I do!

I only just started playing with this mod, and immediately I was adopting children left and right. I felt so bad. I am so broke but I also have a small army of children.
Lawh  [author] Oct 21, 2024 @ 4:45am 
The head size was increased, and since I don't know much about texture design someone else will have to make the changes. There is the JRPG patch for this mod that might help.
SymbiotiK Oct 21, 2024 @ 1:39am 
I get a sense that the children still look too much like simply shrunken adults by bodily proportions, so I would suggest bigger heads (and maybe eyes?) would add a child-like feel to them that is currently missing.
LAM Sep 15, 2024 @ 9:51am 
Bondrewd mask mod + Child mod = very bad stuff is going to happen :shadeknight:
Lawh  [author] Sep 5, 2024 @ 6:36pm 
@The Best We Have
It was cleanup duty from some old data. But have another one, for all you big brains out there, as per @Sex Defender's suggestion. That's a great name btw.
The Best We Have Sep 5, 2024 @ 4:54pm 
My man! Out with another update, and I don't even know what it was! Doesn't matter, anyway. My man!
Heavy lobotomy Sep 1, 2024 @ 10:35pm 
Children should have little bigger heads. They look like small adults oherwise
Lawh  [author] Aug 25, 2024 @ 2:26am 
I'm not sure, but I did at some point clean up a lot of my mods when I got a nice chance for it. If I get around to checking it out I'll let try to remember to let you know here.

Clothing bugging out could be due to some changes in the way clothes work and the sizes of people, but I would imagine that it's an issue with something else. Now at all sure what could be causing a problem like that.

If you happen to get a chance to look into the edit of this mod please do let me know. Not sure when or if I get around to editing this stuff, though I do hate to leave things very unfinished.
Myst Leissa Aug 24, 2024 @ 7:12pm 
Quick Question from a returning player who is a modder myself, did you ever fix the errant "Global Values" on Lockpicking you changed for ALL races instead of just children?

And I'm not sure what mod is causing it but now my clothing is...acting weird in slave and escaped slave status, any chance it could be this one?
