High Poly Children gives Child races a custom high poly head with a new slider(s) for customization. This will drastically ease the making of younger looking characters. Humans and mer have their own head and sliders and beast races have their own.
New appearances and New clothes:
All patched NPCs have a new look! Dozen of new outfits were added. Patches can be found here.
New vanilla based races:
- Argonian,
- Breton,
- Dark elf,
- High elf,
- Imperial,
- Khajiit,
- Nord,
- Orc,
- Redguard,
- Wood elf
and their vampire equivalents!
Overhaul (optional):
Makes child races fully functional (notably kill-able) all while retaining their unique animations. Few still have their immortal status to prevent them from breaking quests (until quest is complete), and some bellow hood measures are introduced to keep them on respectful side. Other than that, they behave like normal NPCs.
Playable (optional):
Same as Overhaul option with ability to play as a child.
They are able to equip all clothes and armor. Since they share outfits with default races outcome will depend on mods You use.
To get more "immersive fit" for their body shape third party mods are needed. Easiest way to do that is with OBody along with any version of CBBE and HIMBO (they use their own body, this is just for outfits) and right preset (zHPC Shape preset) is to be selected with OBody menu. Configuration file can automate this (example in miscellaneous files). Body physics will always be disabled no matter the outfit.
Character Creation quick guide:
Some preset included. Load Preset and Sculpt with Racemenu.
Or do the following: for human and mer races in Character creation menu, go to Head section. Scroll down to Head Shape 1H. Adjust to 1.0. Next choose nose, mouth, brows and so on. Beast races usually look good enough with some minor tweaks like bigger eyes.
For extended customization it is recommended to use:
- Argonian Creation Extended - A.C.E. by WhiskersIsTheCat
- ECE Sliders Addon for Racemenu
- Expressive Facegen Morphs SE by Niroku
- High Poly Head mod itself
- K.C.C.E Khajiit Character Creation Extended by Volno
- KS Hairdos 1.9 - True Unisex Patch by DamiLovesSunflowers
Compatibility:
Generally, should be compatible with most mods. Males are compatible with male head parts and outfits, females with female versions.
Argonians, Elfs, Orcs, Khajiits have their own head parts, same as vanilla races. Any mods that are set up vanilla-like will fit.
It is not compatible with mods that edit same characters as this one. It is not compatible with mods that edit child outfits.
Any other mods that add more child NPCs will need a patch.
Troubleshooting (assuming this mod itself is not at fault):
- Characters not showing in Creation menu or in-game => Start a new game or dated game
- Character having "black-face" or "potato face" => Conflict in meshes and/or texture folders or incorrect .esp, dated game version
