📋 About This Mod
COMPLETELY STANDALONE CHINESE VERSION http://bbs. 3dmgame.com/thread-4397536-1-1.html new stuff: Plugin for Requiem the Roleplaying Overhaul and similar mods.
Come on dude...another children mod? Absolutely not!. What makes this one different?. Well, I know they are mods to make children followers, to make them wear armor, to make them fight, to make them killable, to be able to pickpocket, to loot them... But they are not compatible with each other, because they edit the same stuff. This mod unifies all those features.
I FORCED CHILD BODY MESHES TO PREVENT NUDITY. This can make custom body armors to have a seam on children, if you have installed armor replacers.

- []Fighting version:Full, all features enabled. In certain situations, they might flee because they are children... Babette will never flee. Sometimes they wont do what you have told them(with follower mods like AFT depends on that mod)They wont run to the other end of the map to aid someone.[]Non fighting version:they will flee and hide when combat starts. Not killable children and non fighting followers. The rest of the features are enabled.
Children Overhaul turns Skyrim's children into fully voiced followers who can fight, wear armor, use weapons, and be killed, pickpocketed, and looted. They level with the player and won't report crimes. This overhaul is for players seeking a darker, more immersive experience with child followers.
