Description
There are now children in the world of Kenshi.

There are new starts as well. Play as a child of any race, and see how you fare.

(The "Parent Looking for their Child" start has their actual child living somewhere in the world. If you see characters that usually aren't there, they are story characters. Best not talk to them unless you're looking for the story character.)

WORKS WELL WITH:
Crus' Patch Children Animation

Pattariick's jrpg faces patch for this mod:

Children have stat penalties, but some stats are boosted. Their health is lower and they are smaller in size. They are also treated differently sometimes.

Children will not grow up, but here is what you can do:
- Go to
...\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\233860
- Copy the folder named "1688594162"
- Paste the folder into
...\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Kenshi\mods
- Rename the copy of "1688594162" as "Children"
- Open the Kenshi editor
- Select the mod "Children"
- Select "Towns" from the list in the left
- Double click any town that you can visit
- Make sure the tab next to "Add" says "Bar squads"
- Press "Add" on the top right
- Select "SQUADADULT"
- Double click SQUADADULT
- Double click ADULT
- Edit the character to fit the child character
(-100 health on a limb means that that limb is missing)
- Save the mod. Start the game. Go to the town you placed the squad in. Find the adult version of your character. Talk to them and recruit them. "Dispose" of the child version of the character.

UPDATES:

June 2023:
- New faces for children
- Removed muscles from children
- Removed most dependencies to make this compatible with most other mods.

May 2024:
- Added a dud adult for easy editing to transform a child character into an adult
- Added info on where to find this mod and where to put it to edit it.

April 25:
- Had a request. If it breaks something, let me know and I'll roll back

Please report any issues you are facing with this mod. Make sure the issue is not created through mod incompatibilities.

but say for instance, it will still have shek children or scorchlander children
ֆֆ Fall Apr 25 @ 12:05am 
It runs without the greenlanders

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 Fall Apr 24 @ 2:10pm 
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 @ 10:19pm 
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 @ 9:49pm 
@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.

There is a cancel option in the dialogs for this mod, sounds like the mega mod pack broke them
Zirda Apr 23 @ 9:08pm 
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 @ 12:04pm 
No probs, and if there are any issues or unwanted changes please do come by and let me know.
Anrhaa Apr 21 @ 4:08am 
@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!
