Trying to make my first Mod

[Bugsbugme]

I'm trying to make a mod that changes the faces of the children in Skyrim to make them different from each other. I can't edit them though, the sliders in the CK just don't do anything. Is there something I'm supposed to do like give them a different mesh or skeleton so they can be manipulated? I have been working with Xvision Children and he has made his own skeleton and used a bunch of other files but I'm not sure if it's actually needed just to change their faces. I don't understand how he managed to change their faces, can anyone tell me how he manged to do it?

 

I understand how it works for regular NPC's (for the most part). You edit them, then use ctrl+f4 to save the FaceGen data, but I can't even get as far as changing there faces with children.

 

As much as this is to make a mod, it is so I can learn some new things about Skyrim modding, so If anyone has some helpful things to tell me please do so.

I read somewhere that there's a bug with the CK's face editor that makes children unable to be edited. I'm not sure if a fix/workaround has been found yet, but hopefully someone else knows.

Actually, I think I found the issue. It's that children by default do not have a HeadChargen.tri or any kind of face morph resource available to them, the adults do. This is what lets you change your characters face in the race menu in game and in the CK. The author of Xvision Children gave them one though, I am attempting to do the same. This is going to be challenging but I am interested and quick to learn things. For instance I didn't even know what the .tri files were for a moment ago.
