The former is drastically harder, but it's the kind of thing users want. The only alternative I've found is writing my own 'adoption' system, which is a fairly large effort.įull disclosure, I've been bouncing between saying '**** it' and taking a few months to actually write a family framework, or just removing spawned children entirely. While hooking into Hearthfire scripts is ideal in concept, those scripts are so brittle that they get confused easily. I want a mod that lets me talk to my biological children in game and Fertility Mode or Basic Pregnancy Cycle doesn't do that as far as I can tell.īoth Fertility Mode and BPC hook directly into the Hearthfire adoption system, so unless the Hearthfire scripts panic (not a rare situation, unfortunately), your biological children should behave identically to adopted children.
