Your Lost Son

Description

This mod allows the player to find his or her long lost son to travel around Skyrim with as a follower.  After you've been Thane of Riften for a few days, you should get a letter telling you that a child claiming to be your son has turned up in Riften.  After receiving the letter, you can go and reunite with him, and recruit him to travel around with you.  After recruiting your kid, his home will be set to Honeyside.  I would recommend using a mod like My Home is Your Home to set his home to wherever you want him to live.  He'll inherit your race provided you're not using a custom race.

There is no support for having a daughter at the moment.  I hope to get around to this at some point, but crawling through the lines of dialogue to try and create a small dialogue sequence that made any kind of logical and tonal sense took quite a while, and since the malechild and femalechild voice types have unique lines, it will probably take me almost as long the second time through.  

This mod does not:

• []Allow child races to wear armor meant for adults - I wanted to keep this mod as focused and compatible as possible, so I left this up to other mods. There are a few to choose from.  Pick one that works for you. []Allow you to adopt your son - He'll still call you Ma or Pa, but I wanted people to be able to take their kid adventuring, so he's recruitable but not adoptable.  Getting npcs to switch between being adopted children and followers is pretty tricky.  Maybe one day I'll take that on.

Installation

I would recommend using the Nexus Mod Manager or a similar mod managing solution, but if you insist on installing manually, just put the .esp and .bsa into your Data folder.

Only choose one of the main files depending on whether you use RDO or VVE and whether or not you use RS Children

All the unique lines added by this mod are the same between the RDO and VVE versions, but he ones added by VVE and RDO differ, so you'll get a few different responses to companion dialogue depending on which version you choose.

If you use AFT, make sure this is loaded before that in your load order.

Known Issues

[]After packing the .bsa files, I'm not 100% positive that all the required files were included.  If you have any errors that you think may be related to missing files, please let me know.   []There are a few dialogue edits where I stitched together two parts of a line, and not all of them are completely seamless.  I tried to make the edits as clean as possible, but I was working with limited resources.   [*]Occasionally during combat, if your kid is lagging behind you, and enters combat range just as you are killing the last enemy, he'll use Ice Form or Unrelenting Force just a
