📋 About This Mod
Breaking news: Skyrim Special Edition version now finally available!
Adoptable Version
Adds a cute little brat child for you to adopt. You can find her at Honorhall Orphanage, ready for immediate adoption; no quests necessary. Originally made as a request for a friend RPing as an Akaviri warrior, or whatever, and wanted a kid that fit the theme. I think I sort of succeeded in that regard.
Sidenote: use a mod that can force recruit followers (such as Extensible Follower Framework) to change her outfit. Recruit, change her outfit, dismiss her. Poof.
Follower Version
Proficient in both the bow and the sword, this plucky young urchin is ready to poke holes in anything your Dragonborn may encounter. She may also comment often on how murdering people solves quite a few problems. Player takes responsibility for all fines, jail sentences, and wrongful death lawsuits that may occur because of that.
Class: ranger (bow, one-handed, dual wield, sneak)
Perks: Light Foot, and a few class-related ones. I forget which now.
Level: levels with player, 1-100
Location: Honorhall Orphanage
Voice Type: female child
Note: child voice type requires Relationship Dialog Overhaul - RDO
Install using MO, NMM, or just do it manually.
Change log:
v1. 1 uploaded: fixed issue with misspelled directory, and hair texture now points to the right directory. Whoops.
v1. 2 uploaded: fixed an issue with mesh paths not correctly set up. Kudos to Mr. Dave for the info.
v1. 3 uploaded: follower version added, fixed issue with wrist seam, optimized textures for smaller file size, and experimenting with an FOMOD installer.
v1. 4 uploaded::removed a couple of extraneous files, set AIO version as as main file. That's all. Carry on.
v1. 5 uploaded: ported over Skyrim SE changes/fixes, which include improved dress mesh, fixed height, body mesh is now dress mesh, adoptable version has child flag set properly (IT'S BEEN NINE YEARS, WHY DID NO ONE EVER TELL ME?!?), and replaced skeleton_female.nif due to extra bits it shouldn't have had I guess.

Body type is of the never-nude variety. Chill.
Can you make her a follower?
I did. Learn to read, scrub.
Can I marry her?
Why don't you have a seat over there, Chris Hansen would like to talk to you.
CBEE, 7B0, UNPB, OMGWTFBBQ, Etc., pretty please????
Dude. She's a kid. A KID.

- Over 22,000 downloads shows it's got a solid player base.
- Includes both adoptable and follower versions for flexibility.
⚠️ Cons

- No compatibility notes for other child mods or game updates.

- Make sure you have the Hearthfire DLC if this is Skyrim — adoption requires it.
