[Sky] Adopted children and modded homes.

[Bethra]

Hi all, already asked this on Nexus Forums, so apologies if repeating my query here is not welcome. I was wondering if anyone has worked out a way to get the adopted children in the hearthfire add on to use a modded home. I tried putting the furniture in (used the same as the Breezehome childrens room but duplicated and renamed - no joy) and then tried marking the furniture as BYOH children owned (equally no luck). So obviously there is more to it than just having the correct room layout but i don't know what it is.

Can anyone help?

Good question - On my list of problems to fix, too.

Its most likely controlled by AI packages.

I have a mod which allows you to assign any location "home" and send your spouse to live there. I haven't tested it but maybe it will work for children too? Let me find it...

'My Home is Your Home'? Yes its a good mod, I have used it for a while but it dosen't work with kiddies - I had it running when I was trying to see what would work. If it's that one it works for most follower including some modded ones and most of the dogs in game and I have all my followers and meeko assigned my mod home with no dificulty but it dosen't do anything with the kiddies, no dialogue option shows up. Mod author isn't playing Skyrim anymore either so its very unlikely to be updated although he does give permission for anyone to work on it provided they e-mail him. Would need a modder beyond my capabilities to sort the mod out to work with the children.

Nope, this is the one I was thinking of. The excitingly entitled "spouses can live anywhere".

Like I say, I haven't tried it out.

Ah I stopped using that one - not cos i had any problems with it - but never really felt the urge to get married in game.

I vaguely remember getting married in a previous Beth game and I think i abandoned my husband and kiddies about 3 hours later due to lasting desire to strangle all three of them lol.

Don't think it would help as you don't actually have to be married to adopt in Hearthfire.

Just as a thought, and with little knowlege of the game mechanics - I've been looking at the standard player houses on CK with Hearthfires installed and there's a whole bunch of new markers for their actions - Might the absence of those be relevant?

I posted this reply elsewhere as well, but basically I was saying that when I was poking around in the CK I found that the kiddies had a package for the travel to the home location. This included a link from the package to the BYOHHouseXMapMarkerHeading, which is in turn linked to the map marker in the cell location.
