📋 About This Mod

I have had several requests to unhide this mod, so here it is. RL has been a garbage fire and I have not had any time to make any edits/fixes to this whatsoever.  Please consider this mod UNSUPPORTED.

A few potential issues/questions:

1. The bosmer kids' hairs are purple.

Yep, sorry. Try downloading Vanilla Hair Variety Plus from the oldrim side. You don't need to activate the .esp, you just need the textures.

2. I adopted one of the kids, but they keep saying "I need to say goodbye/get my things" and they won't leave Windhelm/Solitude/wherever.

This bug happens in vanilla game too. Try going through a couple of quests then go home. They might show up then.

3. I adopted one of the kids, but then they disappeared!

This also happens in vanilla game (google "Lucia disappeared" if you don't believe me). Try moving your family to a new home. They might show up then.

4. Will this be ported for xbox?

If someone else wants to do it, please send me a PM. I will try to check my messages periodically.

This port was kindly done by Azrael_wtf, please give them a kudos!

I really like adoption in Skyrim and usually spend the first part of a playthrough running around snatching urchins off the streets, lol.  But like many other people, I would like to have more options for adoption including the non-human races. There are a few mods adding in Khaijit and Argonian children (which are lovely by the way), and other mods adding in elf children, but none that I could find with the RS Children look, and I wanted mine to match. Hence, this mod.

Aymar is an orphaned Dunmer boy living in Windhelm.  He can be found in the New Gnisis Cornerclub and will happily go with you at the slightest invitation.  He uses the default male child voice.

Eilonwy is an Altmer girl who's staying in the Solitude Temple of the Divines.   She uses the default female child voice.

Minedhel and Methredhel

These two siblings were unfortunately orphaned when their hunter parents died somewhere in the wilderness (probably attacking a bear, or something). They were able to make it to Stonehills, the nearest settlement, but have been stuck there ever since.  They can be adopted separately.  Incidentally, Methredhel is a girl, she just likes running around in her big brother's clothes.  She'll wear a dress if you give her one.

She can be found in Warmaiden's and uses the default female child voice (a bit jarring on an orc, but it's tolerable because they're tiny)

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This mod adds eight new adoptable Mer children to Skyrim, built using RS Children resources. It's a niche addition for players who want more diverse adoption options, with a solid endorsement count of 2,977 and over 161,000 downloads, though it hasn't been updated since 2016.

✨ Key Features

Adds eight new adoptable Mer children to Skyrim.
Uses RS Children resources for the children's appearances.
Integrates with the vanilla adoption system, allowing players to adopt these children.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with nearly 3,000 endorsements and over 161,000 downloads.
  • Fills a niche for players wanting more elven children to adopt.
  • Built on RS Children, a well-known resource, so the visuals should be consistent.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2016, so it may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
  • Adds only eight children, so it's a small addition that might not satisfy those wanting a larger variety.
  • Potential conflicts with other mods that alter adoption or child NPCs, given its age.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who enjoy the adoption mechanic and want more elven children to choose from. It's a must-have for role-players who want a Mer family, but if you're not into adoption or want more extensive child mods, this might be too limited.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have the Hearthfire DLC installed, as adoption is a core feature of that expansion.
  • If you're using a mod manager, install this mod and let it overwrite any conflicting files from RS Children or other child mods.
  • Check your load order to ensure this mod loads after RS Children if you have it, to avoid visual glitches.
