📋 About This Mod
This mod adds elf children to Skyrim for you to adopt. They are based on vanilla children, so that they seamlessly blend in with the human children already in the game. Perfect for the purists among us.
There are a boy and a girl for every race (dark elf, hight elf, wood elf and orc), making a total of eight new kids!
This mod needs to tweek child clothes to make them wearable and, because of that, is incompatible with custom child clothes without a patch, so mods like Price and The Pauper or Additional Children Clothes won't work properly.
It is also incompatible with mods that change child meshes, such as Xvision Children or RS Children.
Retextures work just fine, though.
If you run into any other issues, let me know.
Kidmer adds adoptable elf children to Skyrim, with a boy and girl for each of the three elf races: Dark Elf, High Elf, and Wood Elf. Based on vanilla children, they blend seamlessly with existing human children. A simple, lore-friendly addition for players wanting more adoption options.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,291 endorsements and over 17,000 downloads, showing it's a well-received mod.
- Lore-friendly and seamless: uses vanilla children as a base, so no jarring visual mismatches.
- Fills a niche for players who want to adopt elf children, expanding roleplay options.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015, so it may have compatibility issues with the current Skyrim version or other mods.
- Only covers three elf races—no Orsimer or other mer variants, which might disappoint some.
- No detailed documentation or install instructions provided by the author, so you're on your own for setup.
For Skyrim players who enjoy the Hearthfire adoption system and want more variety in the children they can take in. Also for roleplayers who want to adopt an elf child to match their character's race. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or expanded child interactions—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is from 2015, check if your Skyrim version is compatible; if you're on Special Edition, you may need to port it or find an updated version.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install, which will help you manage load order and avoid conflicts.
- After installing, make sure the mod is loaded after any mods that alter vanilla children to ensure the elf children appear correctly.
