📋 About This Mod
Fertility Mode supersedes Basic Pregnancy Cycle and is available here.
Oldrim version is available here.
Description
In the base game you can build a family through adoptions, but cannot give birth or impregnate your spouse. This mod attempts to resolve that discrepancy by adding a fertility cycle to tracked women. They can be inseminated, get pregnant, and give birth to a Hearthfire-compatible child.
Requirements
Hearthfire DLC is required.
Additional functionality is supported for those who want it (or in the case of Skyrim Special Edition, when it becomes available).
Dialogues: An optional patch adding dialogue options as an alternative method for inseminating actors. Both male and female branches are available which take into account relationship rank. This patch is currently in beta and may be expanded into a more complete romance option.
SKSE: Belly node scaling will occur if SKSE is installed. Note that the scaling will not work without a body replacement that includes a belly node and all requisite dependencies involved. Further, clothing and armors will not scale unless they too include a belly node. Without SKSE there will be no visual changes as pregnancy progresses.
SexLab: An appropriate orgasm event is hooked if SexLab is installed, which offers alternative methods for insemination.
SexLab Light SE: An optional patch is provided for hooking into the SexLab Light SE orgasm event.
Hearthfire Multiple Adoptions: Allows birthed children to go to a custom home that has been blessed, and BPC fits within the new adoption limit of 6. Support is provided without any patches.
Flower Girls: An optional patch that allows BPC to hook into the scene events and apply insemination when appropriate.
The Kids Are Alright: An optional patch that adds support for additional child races. Episode 1 is supported without any patches.
RS Children Overhaul: Supported in the base version without any patches.
