📋 About This Mod
If, like me, as soon as you installed Hearthfires you went to the Orphanage and adopted two children, before realizing that there was a poor homeless girl trying to sell flowers under the snow storms of Windhelm just waiting for you to adopt her, or if you simply want to get rid of you children, then this mod is for you.
The mod gives you a power (that works like a shout) that will send back your children where they came from and you will be able to adopt new ones.
Version 0. 2. 1: - You can now give gifts to Sofie after adopting her. But if you already have that problem, I advice you to open the console, click on Sofie, and enter "setav carryweight 1000000000".
Skyrim Unadoption Mod lets you unadopt your children and adopt new ones, addressing a common frustration for players who regret their adoption choices. With 2,374 endorsements and 37,531 downloads, it's a well-received utility mod, though it hasn't been updated since 2013.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 2,374 endorsements — clearly fills a need.
- Lightweight and focused: does exactly what it says, no bloat.
- 37,531 downloads show it's been a go-to for years.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013 — may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- No detailed instructions or compatibility notes provided by the author.
- Limited to unadoption and re-adoption; doesn't add new children or other features.
For Skyrim players who adopted a child and immediately regretted it, or who want to change their family dynamic without starting a new game. Also for roleplayers who want to switch up their adopted kids for variety. Skip if you're looking for new child NPCs or deeper family mechanics — this is purely a utility fix.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to save before unadopting, just in case you change your mind again.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install it through that to keep your load order clean.
- Check if your other child mods are compatible — this mod is old, so test it early in your playthrough.
