Hiya, absolutely love this mod - probably my favourite tbh! My issue is only one of my children is showing up with this, the other is the normal sprite. Is there any known reason why?
Yeah, unfortunately a lot of my mods are outdated/broken but I don't have the time/energy to remove them and as my game plays even with them broken I've just left it for now until I'm well enough to sort through them.
I've checked the children.json and they are set to Sebastian. I sorted through the files to find the appearances I wanted the kids to have and replaced the files, is this something that could corrupt it perhaps?
That could be the case. Make sure all the files are there. If one is missing, it won't work properly. Try it with the original files from the Unique Children mod. If it works, then you did something wrong when changing the files.
Hi :) You can also create sprites for him yourself. Simply copy a folder into assets/Adopted and assets/Natural, name the new folder "Morris," and edit the children's sprites.
HiiSorry, I'm having a problem when I try to change the sprites or gender of my children. When I make the desired changes and start my game, nothing changes. I was able to do it before without any problem, but now when I go to the children.json file, they are duplicated. For example: I have three children, and all three names are there. When I make the changes and start the game, nothing changes. When I go back to the files, there are now six: three modified, and the three new ones with the data given at birth. I don't know what could have happened... Here I leave my link: https://smapi.io/log/2753656115d247458a3de05ca22c2c5c This is for translation, sorry if there is any mistake
Hi, In a .json file, always pay attention to the parentheses and commas; this is very important; otherwise, the game won't be able to read the file correctly and create new entries.
1. Delete children.json 2. Start the game and load your savegame 3. Close the game 4. Try to edit the children.json again 5. Start the game and check if your edits work
I recommend Notepad++ So you see the json file with colors, which makes it easier: example:
I'm an Android gamer and I don't know if I can use that notepad...I use an app to open JSON files and to save changes I have to delete and replace with the copy made, so that app only leaves me free space to write, a line without commas and periods, but recently I accidentally deleted smapi and I could only save the game, before this is when I made a fix for the second child, now after reinstalling and putting the saved game, I can't edit the children, even if the mods have been installed again.
Umm I don't know how to put images here.
Before posting my situation I had already tried all your given instructions, so I really don't know what else
Thanks for the suggestions, though I don't think it's because it's not compatible, because the mod allows me to play properly. I just think I forgot to save something when I uninstalled smapi, or so I think. Before the crash, I was able to edit it properly. Well, thanks again, and I'll eagerly await the update, even if it's not coming soon. 👍🏻
hii again, thanks for updating 🥹 and sorry for wasting your time, I was able to confirm that maybe it's something with my game or I've installed smapi wrong, I think, it keeps duplicating the files with the originals, I'll try to rename the sprite folders to match the desired result, thank you very much 🫶🏽something good is that I can see the children's dates and their days (◍•ᴗ•◍)✧*。
I will try to delete and reinstall smapi and save all the files that are in save, see the tutorial to be sure😣
Hi! I am just wondering how this mod and your "Unique Children Talk" mod would work in multiplayer if I am having children with another player. Are the sprites just the normal Vanilla ones or is something coded in already for that? I imagine that would be really hard with how many variations you can have for your farmer.
Hello :), since you have another player as your spouse, the children will use the "Default" sprites (assets/Adoptedl/Default or assets/Natural/Default). Quit the game, go to the "Unique Children" folder, and open children.json. Search for the children's name and change the sprites as you wish. For example: "Child_Sprites": "Shane" Check the folders assets/Adopted & assets/Natural to see which folder names are available.
Then they will look like Shane's children. You can also copy an existing folder in assets/Adopted & assets/Natural, rename it (e.g., "OurChild"), and copy the sprites as you wish. Then in children.json: "Child_Sprites": "OurChild"
(In a .json file, always pay attention to the parentheses and commas; this is very important; otherwise, the game won't be able to read the file correctly)
So far, this is the only children mod that I think I would want in my game, just for the fact that it looks like it won't mess up anything like your Spouse and other NPCs not knowing you have kids(yes, I'm talking about you, child age up🤣).
A question though, I found this mod and wonder if this is compatible... you know what.. let me just try it lmao. But if anyone already knows the answer, feel free to tell me.
Hello :) In that sense, it's compatible, but it does not affect your children. Because if you want to use the "Little Red School House" mod, your children will be converted to NPCs, and my mod only changes children and not NPCs.
Hmmmm... Will the children still retain their uniqueness from your mod or will they get replaced? Or outright just unable to integrate with Little Red School House altogether?
hello!! So, i wanted to know how exactly i could make the seasonal clothes for my children, am I supposed do draw them or something??? Would be very grateful for your answer :333
Hi hello! i love your mod but i have a little doubt...i have krobus as a roomate and i have a mod to adopt children with him. i already have the baby! I can customize the child right? or it's random?
Hello : ) you can edit the children.json. The sprites you can change in: "Child_Sprites": "Krobus"
Check the folders assets/Adopted & assets/Natural to see which folder names are available
But before you can use "Krobus" in "Child_Sprites", you need a Krobus folder with the sprites in it. Fynzou made some sprites: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/21061 Download it and copy the Krobus-folder into assets/Adopted and assets/Natural

Whats in the children.json?
if its:
"Child_Sprites": "Default",
then change it to:
"Child_Sprites": "Sebastian",
I've checked the children.json and they are set to Sebastian.
I sorted through the files to find the appearances I wanted the kids to have and replaced the files, is this something that could corrupt it perhaps?
Try it with the original files from the Unique Children mod. If it works, then you did something wrong when changing the files.

Hm, if the other mods have a sprite folder, maybe you can swap the sprites.
yes, you can draw them (see description).
For Leah's, Shane's, Elliot's and Sam's children already exist mods:
