There seems to be an issue when making your grown child a follower. Once I do that-- I can no longer interact with them. All dialogue options disappear!? Is this a conflict with the Immersive AFT mod or perhaps just a problem in terms of load order? I've noticed a few others mentioning a similar issue but haven't seen an answer yet.

Yep, I've got the same problem. I've had babies over 30 days old and still no child has appeared. I have the the Children mod installed as needed. I haven't allowed Skyrim to update beyond 1.5.50 and so have kept SKSE to only 2.00.8 and Papyrus to 3.5. Doesn't seem to be any conflicts anywhere, but ....who knows?

What is the best method or mod to use to locate your kids? I "get around" alot and would like to keep track of as many as I can.

Totally up for testing too! Sounds like great work!

I haven't installed Hearthfire yet (have a bunch of PC issues to sort out first)' date=' but I think I succeeded in restoring the "Mini-Baby" mod to produce [b']regular little boys and girls[/b]. In this version, they are Redguard kids. Not sure if they will be adoptable because the mod does not generate unique NPC's and I'm not sure if that is an issue or not (it IS with marriage, but NOT with followers). Use the attached file and just let it replace the other Mini-Baby esp file. (If you have gray-face issues, just open the esp in the Creation Kit, filter the Actors list to find the "DR03" Male and Female babies, select them both and use Ctrl + F4 to create their facegen data.)

Ok, I cleaned up my little mod to the Mini-Baby. So, now you don't give birth to some little mutant creature but a full grown adult (just to be useful). As per my own tastes and player character, the "mini-babies" created will now be adult female redguards and with good enough stats to take care of themselves (lvl 20). They are born clothed but not much else in their inventory. They are also automatically available to be followers. There are only two different "babies" here (still both female, sorry) and at birth they appear anywhere you are (so far, I've never seen this happen during a fight though). You of course, need the original Babies Maker mod itself (the two main files here) for this to work and my mod WILL REPLACE the original MiniBaby mod, so you have been warned. (I've also added some mesh and texture files in the hopes of avoiding any gray face issues, but not sure if it will work the same for you as for me.) Here's the download link: NotSoMiniBaby

If you mean that you are using FNIS 3.2, don't do it. I tried the same thing, and this mod will not work. Just go back to 3.1 and you'll be fine.

Well, I finally succeeded in messily modifying the "mini-baby" so it produced a different kind of mutant-- an already full-grown child. (Sorry, adults are more useful than kids in this game and as there is no mod to make them grow...I cheated a bit.) At the moment, they are born as potential followers so I just use the console to make them followers. I was thinking to make the relationship as parent-child but for that they need to be unique and not sure if that would allow for more than the two children (Mini-babies) already set inside the mod. Here you can see the mod's notice of giving birth (the baby appears next to my PC -- NOT near the mother) and my ....ahem...little girl. You'll also see pics of other NPC's pregnancies where my PC is NOT the father! After much sowing and bearing now six kids, this is the first incidence of other Dads out there. Somehow I missed in the description that the mod could do that. Makes it REAL interesting!
