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

If anyone wants to start learning modding for Skyrim, making one of these Family Ties add-ons is a simple way to get started.

I don't have much time to make new ones right now but I would be happy to help anyone who wants to take that on.

Can we expect multiple quests added and special edition compatibility any time soon?

Hi, DeepBlueFrog. Thanks for your mod. But i don't know this is bug or feature. I have some problems with aging player. When I used to sleep, days of age changing reduce on four days instead of one, but all settings of family ties is default.

Very cool.  Looking at it and it seems quite nice.

 

Tweaking a little on my private build and thought I'd mention some things (ignore them as you see fit):

* For the body swap of the teen races I had to do something to the effect of the following with appropriate checks at load time (doesn't seem sticky) else the face texture set would not match the body textures (doing fair skin textures with a Pretty Faces head mesh for the lasses in order to give a more youthful look while using the Pride of Valhalla different headmesh as age progresses): 

 Game.getPlayer().GetLeveledActorBase().SetFaceTextureSet(TeenFaceTextureSet)
 Game.getPlayer().RegenerateHead()

 

* Considering a more "Fable" style aging where aging occurs as skills increase

 

* Wondering if showing the racemenu can be avoided altogether with SetSkin and SetFaceTextureSet to go from lass->young adult->middle age->old

Will this in the future be compatible with Holiday's?

 

Seeing that you can already decide your birthday on the mod

They should all included in the same zip file. Just pick the main FamilyTies.esp if you want aging, and the optional esp file you want to play.

Wasn't the Belethor start removed? It's in the zip file I think, unless that is a different one.

So here's a short bug report of what stood out to me:
1.) Beeing female is not compatible with the lass races, regardless of what age you are or set starting age to be, also the lass starting age cannot go below 18 unlike the standard races.
2.) Beeing female does not trigger if playing a normal race but set the starting age for character below 18. (setting age back to 18 immediately reactivates the mod, making me thing a patch that tricks it into believing the pc is 18 regardless of what this mod selects as starting age or something similar would easily fix the issue.)

3.) All npcs that could potentially be a family member appear with their family title instead of normal npc names, even if you didn't chose that family to be your start. (I didn't notice this bug until doing the Adrianne start via Alternate start.)

4.) Belethor cannot be interacted with at all (note, I didn't try belethors start to see if that alters this at all) no name shows when you approach and if you attempt to speak to him he runs through his generic passing comments but will not open any communication U.I. This bug is serious because it renders Belethor's shop useless.

If I find anything else I'll let you know, if you could fix these glaring issues a.s.a.p. it would make the mod much more enjoyable.

so when you make a character do you choose how old they are?

Belethor was a start I tried to make but didn't get something right. BlueFrog hasn't had time to look at and fix it yet. It should probably be considered a non-playable alpha at this point.

3 - This is why there are several ESP files.  Titles and relationships can't be changed on the fly so you should pick and use the one you want, leaving the others out of the game.

 

4- See Above.

With the mod as is, no. There are other mods that let you make a younger than Stock Dragonborn Adult PC

[Ishootnoobs]

ok thanks

Actually, with the latest FamilyTies.esp, you can set the age of your character.

 

You still need to select only one family esp file plus the main FamilyTies.esp file if you want aging.

By family esp I meant the rep files about each family (nord, Breton, etc). You need to pick one of these only, plus the main FamilyTies.esp

[Ishootnoobs]

ok are the rep files each individual race or are they in the .7z file for familyties i'm opening it right now 

[Ishootnoobs]

don't think its in there

I am traveling this week. I will check that out in a couple of days.

[DeepBlueFrog]

Blanket cross-post in a few of my forum threads.

 

I have been busy offline with travel and work for the past couple of months and because of that, I haven't been on top of answering all of my messages.

 

If you have posted about an issue and never got an answer from me, please bump that issue again and I will reply. Nothing personal - I am not ignoring anyone. Just being busy.

[Guest]

I have a problem. Having Adrianne Avenicci .esp. The character in the pictures in the spoiler is from ETAC 1.4 and she is placed in her house by the mod. This is what she says and do if I do not leave the shop. Is there a way to fix this?

That would depend on how you have your sexlab setup...   But it's all possible. Minus using Skykids of course.   

 

 

@DeepBlueFrog  I love this still. I am really needing a Bosmer start.   Preferably with maybe Faendel as an uncle or something??? No idea how to even make that work. 

[CatEclcticMods41]

Crash went try enter whiterun using alternate start (Imprerial Lass Race). Any suggestion?
