You can use generic mod config menu in your game to change the looks while playing, but if you change skin name to something that doesn't exist, your game will crash.


NOTE
If the Portrait is the character sheet, that means you do not have a LittleNPC Portrait mod installed.



Simple Edition

the LittleNPCs look like vanilla toddlers.
the portraits show no emotions, but at least it's not the sprite tile sheet anymore

this is the easiest one to override with your own custom art.

change that folder to NPC spouse name... like the name of the folder says.
inside that folder you just renamed is two more folders. Skin and What ever you want the config hair option to be
change the What ever you want the config hair option to be folders name to... What ever you want the config hair option to be

add you custom made art to the skin folder and the new named hair folder
the hair .png needs to be called base. look at other folders for examples
now change the config to match the skin.png name and the hair folder name
if you mess up the name of the skin there will be an error and not work at all. if you mess up the name of the hair it will just not show up.

      I don't care what you change to.
  3. I'm having some trouble with the portrait art, and I'm unsure what I'm doing wrong, I've got all the mods and my child is 83+ days old but its just a blank portrait if you have to time to help id very much appreciate it. T_T

      what?
      after running the game once with the mod installed, the config should appear in the folder with all the default options. 
      only change the second part of each line.

      alright! currently, my child is still a toddler. I didn't think of it at the time, but I assume now I have to wait 'til they grow. ^^' still, thank you for taking the time to answer a (silly) question!

      LittleNPC uses the sprits for when you do not have a LittleNPC Portrait mod installed.

    Would it be difficult to make changes to add more kids? For example, in my game, I currently have 5 children, but only 2 are the "Little NPC"'s. Is this as simple as in the files, creating a 3rd, 4th, 5th kid, giving them appearance options from the character and portrait files and creating schedules and dialogue for them individually? And if that does work, would it be game breaking to then give 2 NPC's the same schedule or dialogue or would there need to be differences due to layout/positioning where they go on each map? I haven't figured out coordinates sort of stuff before... Trying to figure out if this is something I want to devote some time to as I am sick of the other 3 kids still looking like potatoe toddlers lol. I want them to be little npc's too! thanks.

      LittleNPC only has code for First and Second. More is not an option. If it was, I would have done it.

      What mod do you use to have more than 2 children?

      I don't.
      LittleNPC has a side effect that the game no longer sees the Kids as toddlers so lets you have more babies. You can have 2 LittleNPC and another 2 babies. Just have to wait for the older ones to grow up for the option to come.
      This is also how it's possible to have two LittleNPCs of the same sex. If the 1st one ages up to LittleNPC before 2nd is born then there is a 50/50 on the 2nds sex.
      In images, the one of the ice fishing with child 1 2 3 and 4 labeled, child 1 2 3 are girls and 4 is the only boy. That's because 1st was an NPC before 2nd was born, and 2nd was an npc before 3rd was born.

      that's not english.

      if playing in languages other then English, use content patcher 2.0.6
      or
      Siliconmodding made a unofficial LittleNPC update for later content patcher
