Original Mod description:
Realistic Overhaul for RS Children
For Elven children in the same style, check out my new mod Realistic Elven Children!
I have always found children to stick out like sore thumbs in Skyrim's worldscape - RS Children makes the vanilla potatoes look much better,
for sure, but they simply replace the samey potato heads with samey shiny faces. And I doubt all of Skyrim's children would really be shiny faced child models!
I found Axe's RS Children to be a great start to injecting a bit of life into these carbon copy kids, but it didn't cover a large number of children, so I thought I'd make my own overhaul!
To make them look more unique, I changed up the face shape of each child, as well as adding facial features, eg red noses, freckles, moles, etc. Havea look through the images to see what they look like.
Let me know if you have any feedback about their appearances or other problems, I'd be happy to hear and see what I can do. :)
