[REQ] Proper children with pregnancy

[h38fh2mf]

Anyone think they could work on a way to have children from baby to ~5 year old? I can help write any scripts you would need for this just need models, animations and sounds (baby crying etc). The baby doesn't even have to do anything just lie in crib and move arms and legs and sometimes cry, or if you want to be very thorough then also breastfeeding would be nice to have. From age 5 - 18 can probably just use the normal model and attach script that changes height as the child grows.

 

I am working on a pregnancy mod right now, not sure if you guys would like it because it uses weight and bodyslide++ rather than skeleton nodes. I chose this way because it works with all armors and clothes supported by bodyslide++ (all vanilla clothes and armors and plenty of custom armors as well with mods) and you can design your own non-pregnant and pregnant bodies. Already have support for any woman (player or NPC) to get pregnant but it's a bit weird when at the end of pregnancy nothing happens, just go back to normal.

 

I would like to write into mod that the mother will give birth and take care of the child as well (or player themself if they are the mother) and the child would grow into an adult eventually. Maybe if player is male the mother will send you a note with courier that she is pregnant and you have to give gold from time to time to help raise the child or if you are bad you will not give.

 

I could write scripts and everything else needed for all of this but I don't know how to make models, animations or sounds.

 

If anyone is interested in collaborating or just making a modder resource please send me a PM or reply here.

hmm...
about the baby model, it seems sexout new vegas pregnancy has a baby asset, maybe you can ask permission from Halstrom for converting it to the skyrim. If I remember it correctly, the baby is static (no animation). But I think it's enough for now..

To be honest, I think models and animations are kind of secondary until we have a much more immersive/proper pregnangy system that involves something beyond the 'static' children that we have at the moment.

 

The two pregnancy mods we have are 'good,' don't get me wrong, I'm very happy that they exist, but they both ignore what happens 'after' the pregnancy.  The children are just 'popped out' and...that's it.

I agree the pregnancy mods work fine but they don't seem right somehow that's why I wanted to write my own. Right now I have the pregnancy set up and I'm starting to write things like NPC contacting player and wanting to talk to them if they get pregnant through normal methods but it would be really cool to have a way where you get a child and have to raise it or help raise if male.

 

Things I would like to make ideally if I had the resources:

NPC contacts player using courier to say they got pregnant or to say they want to talk to player. (haven't decided best way to make this yet)

NPC contacts player again when it's time to give birth.

NPC asks player to help raise the child (either by giving money or actually staying with the NPC). This only if they aren't married?

If it's player that gets pregnant then previous steps are skipped.

Giving birth itself (animations + sounds).

Getting a baby you can carry around or put down and the baby animates and makes sounds too.

Having to breastfeed baby, the child starts to cry if it's hungry or have other problems.

Maybe also changing diaper?

Child grows so that after a while the baby changes into a toddler that can walk with funny animations and now just giving food to child not breastfeeding anymore.

After some more time changes into normal model but with low height and increases height over time?

 

These changes will look ridiculous but it's the best I can think at the moment. And I know that there won't be voice when talking to NPC but I don't know a better way to do this. Of course all of this only ideally if I had all the models, animations and sounds. I think I can do this, I'm new to modding actually but I have a pretty good understanding of the scripting now. The pregnancy mod so far works well, added MCM menu for configuration and up to 30 NPC/Player can get pregnant at a time. Limitation is that all women will have 0 weight unless pregnant but I can live with that.
