Probably not. 

 

I included it in case anyone wants to take a deeper look and fix it but I didn’t have time to fix it myself yet.

is it okay to use this on my main save cause i will start a new game im thinking on using LAL and this as my starting?

The reason I set up the mod as multiple esp files, and why there will not be a spell to do that dynamically, is that setting up relationships in game is not something Papyrus or SKSE cover. The only way to add or change a relationship between two NPCs (or the player) is to edit the mod via CKeditor.

Hey man, skin textures are missing in the download for the "lass" races.

Still?

 

I thought I fixed that in the latest update. 

The nif files should be referencing the default paths.

 

I will take another look when i come back in a couple of days.

The nif files do. The skins associated with the lass races in the "body" tab still point to the "_FT_..." armor addons with textures pointing to those directories and are overwriting the normal body textures.

I edited those races to point to "SkinNaked".

FamilyTies.esp

Depending on your body type this may not work for you.

Ah yes.. i missed updating the skin texture. I will fix I when I come back, thanks.

I updated the files with the missing textures for the new race. Try 0.2b and see if that fixes things.

I think there's a bunch of really interesting possibilities with this. This gave me a lot of ideas. 

 

I like the idea of your character not being a foreigner, but a native from Skyrim. But what if you're not only a native, but also a member of a clan or some other type of nobility in Skyrim who will inherit property when your father dies - maybe even the position of a Jarl? - things can get even more interesting.

That is if you are a boy. If you are a girl your male siblings might be ahead of you... If only you could get rid of them somehow, right?

Is there a way to have 1 family instead of changing all of the mentioned to 'Mother', 'Father etc?

I don’t understand the question.

 

Do you mean you want the mod without changing the names of the NPCs?

Idgrod is a married Jarl and her husband is the steward, so she didn't get the position by marriage. Riften is similar. Being second or third born, girl or boy, could lead to a Mephala style situation.

You're only intended to use one esp at a time.

After watching this for a bit I decided to give it a go yesterday and experimented on a running game with Lemkil as parent.   Since I have no life,,, I mean no plans for the new year last night I pretty much played Skyrim all day.

So it's safe to add to a currently running game so far. I did choose Lemkil based on the fact that after a Skyrim Unbound start I had done next to nothing actually main Skyrim story wise, and had not been to Rorikstead yet.  

Several hours and levels later no problems. My family is my family, no really weird things have happened. No one has told me to get out of the house either.  

 

No issues with the age slider either so far.

That is correct.

 

You should only select the 'FamilyTies.esp' main file and only ONE of the other esp files (one for each family).

This makes a lot more sense now that I had some sleep. Thanks

Hi! First of all,I love this mod! Secondly,are you planning on making the lass race for the beast races and the elves/orcs?

Probably not... mostly because I don't have time to look for a younger mesh for beast races and also because there is already a workaround - keep your beast race, and select a starting age lower than 20, and the mod will adjust your height/scale automatically.

[DeepBlueFrog]

Two announcements:

 

1- I found a solution to full home ownership (no more trespassing).. Until I fix all the esp files, you can make the change yourself if you want. In CK editor, go to the home cell and change ownership of the Door of the house to the Player.

 

2- I am using a recent version of Skyrim Radioactive and found it is making extensive changes to Radiant Raiment. The esp file with the altmer sisters may be incompatible. I will have to test it for sure but be warned.

Okay! Thank you for answering me!

Out of curiosity how do I make family members stop following me when I use the "hello sweetie" thing to ask them to follow me.  Can't seem to find a dialogue option that tells them to piss off so i'm left with Erik following my pc all over skyrim.

It’s an issue with Sexlab Dialogues. I am trying to find a solution.

Consider making one where you are son/daughter or niece/nephew of Halega with Svana as cousin or brother/sister.

I was thinking about this too. Being the son/daughter of the most promiscuous NPC in Skyrim could be interesting for role playing purposes.
