Adds some basic clothing and accessories made from vanilla assets (currently only boys), and a more unique one for Aventus

(Optional) Enables compatibility with ECE, including its custom sliders, basic Expressions, and Vertex Edit. Download patch under "Miscellaneous".
(Optional) Includes Nao4288's Female Facial Animation, if you don't want to use the vanilla facial animations included by default. Works with both genders. Download is under "Miscellaneous" - you don't need the original files for it to work.http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/56670/?
WHAT THIS MOD DOES
This mod simply alters armor, shields, clothing, circlets, amulets and rings intended for adults so that they can be worn by child followers.
This mod has been cleaned with TES5Edit and contains no scripts.
The main file is an "all-in-one" combined patch that covers the main game and the DLCs. If you don't have all the DLCs, individual patches are available for the vanilla game, Dragonborn, and Dawnguard DLCs in the Files section.
AVAILABLE OPTIONAL PATCHES
Bandolier - Bags and Pouches Bandolier - Dawnguard Calyps Animal Ears v1.51 Cloaks of Skyrim Frostfall - Hypothermia Camping Survival Immersive Armors Wet & Cold Winter Is Coming - Cloaks ZZJay's Wardrobe
Each patch has been developed to be "stand-alone", so you only need install the ones you want. You don't even need the main mod file!
UPCOMING CUSTOM ARMOR PATCHES
EotW Dovahkiins Journeyman Armor V2 Nordic Ranger Outfit
WHAT THIS MOD DOES NOT DO
This mod does not change the meshes or textures of any items.
The mod excludes any changes to the following items (for obvious reasons):
Wedding outfits
The Amulet of Mara
Tavern/"Wench" outfits
Prisoner handcuffs
Executioner HoodIt also does not provide for any skimpy armors or nudity. Nor will it ever.
REQUIREMENTS
The main file is a single .esp file and requires Skyrim.esm, Dawnguard.esm, and Dragonborn.esm.
Each additional patch is standalone, and does not require the main file. The requirements of each patch are listed below the patch title in the files section.
HOW TO GIVE ARMOR/CLOTHING TO KIDS
If you want to recruit your own apprentice, scribe, page, or any other kind of child follower, I'd strongly suggest Amazing Follower Tweaks and the following process:
Adopt the child as per vanilla and allow them to travel to your home
Visit your home and use the "AFT Make Follower" spell on them
Select "Manage with AFT" from their dialogue options
Select Tweak Menu > Gear > Manage Outfits from their dialogue options
Select Tweak Menu > Gear > Standard Outfit from their dialogue options in order to manage their armor and clothingOther follower managers should provide this functionality, but your mileage may vary. AFT and the above process are the ones I use, and know work.
RECOMMENDED MODS
I'd strongly recommend this mod in use with RS Children Overhaul, because it gives Skyrim's children a much more realistic look, rather than a collection of potato heads (Bethesda, what were you thinking?).
If you'd prefer your small companions to fight alongside you, rather than running and hiding, I'd recommend my other mod Children Fight Back. Just make sure to tell them to fight back when they get into a fight! If you'd like to have multiple child followers, the page also contains instructions on how to achieve this with each of the three major follower managers!
CHILD MOD COMPATIBILITY
Tested compatible: RS Children Overhaul (and playable children's race) Growing Up in Skyrim Children Fight Back Caution: Some outfits may cause a neck seam on male children. This is an issue with the vanilla mesh and beyond the ability of this mod to correct, sorry!
Should be compatible: Adoptable Argonian Hatchling - Chases-Starlight My little hatchling Ram-Ku-Argonian boy My little kitty Ma-Rakha-Khajiit boy
Please provide feedback in the Posts section if you have experience either way!
Not compatible: KhajiitChild Maisha (as she uses a custom race - sorry!) Urshug - Adoptable Orc Child (as she uses a custom race - sorry!)
HOW TO INSTALL
Download and activate as per normal with NMM, or extract the included "Armor and Clothing for Kids.esp" into your Skyrim\Data folder and activate. Then sort your load order with LOOT. Easy!
REPORTING BUGS
If you find any of the armor or clothing pieces that are invisible when worn by a child, please take the following steps, which will allow you to give me the information I need to fix it.
FURTHER DEVELOPMENT
Except for bug fixes, (and depending on how interesting some user requests are) I'm considering this mod complete!
PERMISSIONS
There's no original content here (just an original idea and a whole heap of Creation Kit work!), so no need to ask to use anything from this mod. Go right ahead and repackage/reuse it - just make sure you add some value to it (and a little credit for the inspiration would be appreciated)!
I plan on supporting and extending this mod for some time to come, but if it ends up "abandoned" for whatever reason, and someone is enthusiastic enough, feel free to pick up where I left off!
