📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community support (24,754 endorsements) – clearly fills a demand for players who want no immortal NPCs.
- Simple and straightforward – does exactly what it says, no bloat or extra scripts.
- Works for all four human child races, so no gaps in coverage.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2012 – likely incompatible with Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition without patches.

- No documentation or support provided – you're on your own if something breaks.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make a save before installing – if you kill a child tied to a quest, you could break that questline.
- If you're on Special Edition, check for a port or use a compatibility patch – this mod is from 2012.
- Use a mod manager to easily uninstall if you change your mind – manual removal can leave orphaned scripts.
