📋 About This Mod
Children of Cyrodiil
PyPOGWJrBggSomething has always been missing in Cyrodiil. Where have all the children gone? Well, now they are back!
Approx 90 children of various races and ages are roaming the streets of Cyrodiil towns, several babies are sleeping in their cradles, and you will also find that a new generation is on its way, as some female npcs actually are pregnant.
All the children are fully voiced (around 1300 voice entries), fully scheduled and living with their own families. Many of them have siblings, best friends, hobbies, pets, horses, chores to do over the day etc. In other words, each one of them is unique, which you will find if you spend some time looking at their behaviour, talking to them or listening to them talking to each other or to other npcs.
You'll find the children in or outside the towns during daytime, playing on the streets, in the parks or maybe at one of the playgrounds. In the evenings and nights, they'll be home with their parents.
You can interact with the children, talk to them, ask them about their thoughts, play games with them or offer them simple gifts that you can buy in many of the stores.
You can not harm them, and you are not supposed to. As Cyrodiil is a dangerous world, all kids have their own amulet of instant teleporting that they will use if you injure them.
New in ver 1. 1:
- Now compatible also with Nushka's HGEC textures for OCO2
- Clothing meshes have been reworked and some kids are wearing necklaces/amulets in order to get rid of visible neckseams
- A few additional voice files have been added
Children of Cyrodiil adds approximately 90 children of various races and ages to the streets of Cyrodiil towns, plus several sleeping babies.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (2,363 endorsements) — this is a well-loved classic.
- Massive download count (51k+) shows it's been a staple for years.
- Adds real life to towns — kids running around makes Cyrodiil feel less empty.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015 — likely hasn't been patched for newer game versions or DLCs.
- Babies are just sleeping — no interactions or quests tied to them, so it's purely cosmetic.
For Oblivion players who've noticed the world feels sterile without children and want a quick immersion boost. Perfect for roleplayers and city explorers who want more life in the streets. Skip if you're looking for quests or gameplay changes — this is purely an NPC addition.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an older mod, make sure to use a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash to avoid conflicts with other NPC mods.
- Check if you have any mods that alter city layouts — children might clip through new objects.
- If you're using the Steam version, consider using the Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE) for best compatibility.
