📋 About This Mod
Expands the variety of gifts you may give adopted children. Give budding mages spell tomes, your young hunter a bow and arrows, a longer list of books to eager scholars.
Includes: A bunch of books--pretty much all (vaguely age-appropriate--no Lusty Argonian Maid) vanilla and skill books, all vanilla bows and arrows, jewelry, gems religious amulets, all vanilla shields (I would have loved that as a kid), dolls for boys (wooden swords are already available for girls). Dragon bones and dragon scales, vanilla flute, lute, and drum (what the hey, it's my housecarl who will have to deal with the noise, not me), various Dwemer artifacts.
Anything I've forgotten is in FLIST "BYOHRelationshipAdoptionPlayerGiftChildFemale" for girls and FLIST "BYOHRelationshipAdoptionPlayerGiftChildMale" for boys. And you can add new items by just dragging and dropping them into the formlist from the object window! Super easy mod.
By request of LeaellynaMC on Reddit. I took her idea and ran like a thief. Scrubbed squeaky clean with TES5Edit 3. 1. 1. Should merge well with other mods. Requires Hearthfire, of course.
