📋 About This Mod
Description
Simple patches to remove vanilla child records from TKAA. I love TKAA's Mer & Beast Race features, but also wanted to use it alongside other child replacer mods to bring a large pool of looks diversity in my game. So with open permissions from triptherift and even an added public comment permission, now you can have a diverse cast of children in your game too! Kill-able version in files section. Obviously this is based on TKAA's Final Cut versions which has Mer/Beast Race/enemy children. If that wasn't obvious, why are you here? Getting a lil too happy with the clicky click? lolTHIS IS A PATCH TO ALLOW YOU TO USE ANOTHER CHILD REPLACER ALONGSIDE TKAA'S ADDED CHILDREN. IF YOU PREFER TKAA'S VANILLA REPLACERS, THEN YOU DO NOT NEED THIS MOD. IF YOU DO NOT INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL CHILD REPLACER ALONGSIDE THIS PATCH THEN YOUR VANILLA CHILDREN WILL OBVIOUSLY BE !!!!VANILLA!!!! SHOCKER, I KNOW.
REQUIRES TKAA RENEWAL
Update: Now includes BSA. Must overwrite TKAA's Esp & BSA when prompted.
Update 8/26/2022: New Main Files are updated to work with TKAA Renewal, old files will remain for those who still use the old version of TKAA. Concept and everything is the same, just updated to work with the new version of TKAA. Either uninstall or overwrite TKAA Renewal. All this does is remove TKAA vanilla children replacers, allowing you to use seamlessly alongside a different child replacer like RS Children, etc.. Earlier posted notes, instructions and warnings in description still apply.
Installation
Either drag & drop & activate manually, or install with manager of your choice. Overwrite when prompted.Remove with manager, or delete from data folder.
Compatibility

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solves a real headache for modders who want both TKAA's variety and a different child replacer.
- Community-tested with 230 endorsements and over 6k downloads.
- Includes a kill-able version patch, so you don't have to hunt for a separate one.
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers Mer/Beast/other misc kids—not the main vanilla kids, so it's not a full solution.
- Last updated in 2022, so it may not be compatible with the latest TKAA or other mod updates.
- Requires both TKAA and a separate vanilla child replacer mod to be useful, adding dependency complexity.
For Skyrim modders who want to use TKAA's unique kids (like Mer and Beast races) while still using a different vanilla child replacer for the standard kids. Skip if you're happy with TKAA's default setup or don't use child replacers.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have TKAA and your chosen vanilla child replacer installed before adding this patch.
- Place this patch after both mods in your load order to ensure it overwrites correctly.
- If you're using the kill-able version, double-check that it matches the same TKAA version you have.
