📋 About This Mod
Chases-Starlight is an orphaned Argonian hatchling. She spends her days on the Windhelm docks, near the Argonian Assemblage, hoping that she will someday find a family to call her own.
This mod requires the Hearthfire DLC. Chases-Starlight is adoptable, and will behave like any other adopted child, using the same voice as a human girl. She does not replace any other child already in the game.
Changes: -v1. 1 Removed Argonian Hatchling race (labelled simply "Argonian") from playable races. Thanks to boomerkeighley for reminding me that I hadn't fixed this yet.
I know I'm not the only one who has been disappointed by the complete lack of non-human children across Skyrim. Chases-Starlight is my first attempt to help remedy that and add some more variety. Hopefully, she will not be my last. If all goes well, I plan to continue adding adoptable children of other races in locations where you might expect to find them. Argonians, Khajiit, and Orsimer are my priority to start with, but I may go on to add children from the other races of Mer later.
Adoptable Argonian Hatchling adds Chases-Starlight, an orphaned Argonian child who waits on the Windhelm docks, to Skyrim with the Hearthfire DLC. She is fully adoptable and behaves like any other child, using a human girl's voice. This mod does not replace existing children and is a first step toward adding more non-human children to the game.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,565 endorsements and over 20k downloads, so it's proven and loved.
- Fills a real gap—there are no non-human children in vanilla Skyrim, and this adds a unique Argonian kid.
- Simple and safe: doesn't replace any vanilla children, so it won't mess with your existing game.
⚠️ Cons
- She can't wear child clothes, so you can't dress her up—that's a bummer for roleplayers.
- Uses a human girl's voice, which might break immersion for some players.
- Last updated in 2014, so it's old and might have compatibility issues with newer mods or versions.
For Skyrim players who want more diverse families and love adopting kids in Hearthfire. If you're a roleplayer who wants an Argonian daughter, this is for you. Skip if you want fully voiced, race-specific child dialogue or if you're not into cosmetic NPC additions.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Hearthfire installed and enabled before loading this mod.
- When you adopt Chases-Starlight, don't give her clothes as a gift—she can't wear them and it might cause issues.
- If you're using a mod manager, load this mod after other child-related mods to avoid conflicts.
