📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Huge community trust with 4,183 endorsements and 148k downloads.
  • Solves a real problem: previous killable children mods broke child animations, this one fixes that.
  • Still relevant and maintained as of early 2022, which is solid for a niche mod.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only updated in 2022, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches or the Anniversary Edition.
  • Killing children is a dark theme that might not sit well with all players, even if it's for immersion.
  • Potential conflicts with other mods that alter child behavior or animations, so you'll need to check your load order.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim SE players who want a more brutal, immersive world where even children aren't safe, but without sacrificing the game's animation quality. If you're a roleplayer who wants consequences for your actions or a darker narrative, this is for you. Skip it if you're uncomfortable with child mortality or prefer to keep children as invincible NPCs.
