Request 'aging' player char

[kael828]

So I had this thought...  which came from using the mod Being Female:

 

Using BodySlide, one could make a char on the 0% side that looks younger (teen), and on the 100%, full adult.  I had this thought originally that it would be cool if such a thing could be 'tagged' into the Being Female mod such that a baby is born, then upon reaching a certain age ( X amount of days goes by, the 'baby' becomes a child TKAA style or whatever), then X amount of days goes by again and the child grows into a teen (and as days go by, the teen's bodyslide/nifs percentage slowly moves from 0% to 100% and adulthood, starting at about 70% or whatever) and can become either 1) a playable character (I don't know if this is even possible, but choose the 'teen child' and it loads a new game with this teen child (loads the teen child's body/facegen info) you can play, then go back and click on some item that represents the original game save and reloads that).  Would give a family heritage style of game.  Or 2) the easier option,  is that the 'teen' can now instead be chosen as a follower to join the parent on adventures, etc. -  Bandit killing, dragon slaying, tomb raiding family occupation!

 

Another option would be that the 'child' info is saved into racemenu and the player would 'create' that character, then have an in game item that linked the 'child' to the parent(s)' home, etc.  So the child can freely roam around and swap items/gear from/with the parents' home and loot storage bins. This would require somehow reading the parent's saved game info and linking/merging them, which is probably impossible.  Is it possible to swap from one playable character in the game to another, without exiting the game? Probably not...

 

The easiest option, and most desirable, is that a folder is created in which the player can place the .nif body meshes and textures into for customization, which Being Female accesses when a child is born. 1) A baby is born, the type the mother carries around, then 2) the baby grows into a child and does the standard child things as already available with Being Female (I think), then 3) the child grows into a teen at the .nif0 point, and begins to 'grow' toward the .nif1 body (make a setting that the number of days can be adjusted for player's preference), and at this point, the player can click on the 'daughter' to become a family companion.  I don't know how to do body adjustments for a male child with .nif0  to .nif1  as I don't know if a bodyslide for male options even exists.  Maybe can scale a youngish looking male mod up from a short height to a taller height?
