Axe's RS Children Tweaks
This mod makes changes to the excellent RS Children mod, editing over a dozen npcs.
My intention was to add some more variety to the kids and adjust hairstyles to be more fitting for a 'vanilla-esk' game.
Goals
Variety - RSC makes some great strides to add variety to the vanilla potato kids, but they are still quite similar. I have tried to make each npc i've edited unique and instantly recognisable.
Dirt - RSC's textures are great but they stand out a little for my eyes, so I have added dirt and freckles where possible to add interest to the textures and break up the shine a bit - hopefully without making them look too old. Plus, these are kids of Skyrim, they play outside and get attacked by Dragons.
Vanilla hair - The reason I started making this mod was to swap out the Apachii Skyhair for vanilla styles, I got carried away :)

... more to come ...
As of 05/05/2018 I have reached the point where I have exuasted the limited creation kit/in-game sculpting, it is very hard to keep the kids looking different while remaining child-like. Therefore I doubt I will be adding more kids till the Racemenu mod is feature complete for SE. Then I will be able to add sticky-outy ears, chubby cheeks and soft jaws.

- Makes kids look more distinct and fits Skyrim's vanilla aesthetic
- Simple cosmetic change that doesn't mess with gameplay
⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have RS Children installed first, then load this mod after it in your load order.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting files manually.
- If you're using other child appearance mods, check for conflicts and put this one last.
