Some of the TKAA mods take off the child flag which makes them killable. Unfortunately that also does open the door for a pervert to misuse the mod in unintended ways. Pretty sure there are other child mods that take the child flag off also though.

I take it you have the main TKAA mod but not Bruma patch.. so you get a couple vanilla potato head kids in Bruma. I'd say no real big deal. From what the author says, I doubt the TKAA mods will be back. When you find a mod that you think is great and want to use often, it's a good idea to archive a copy.

I don't understand the statement about NMM Ishara. I know you're very knowledgeable which makes it all the more confusing to me. I've been using NMM a long time and don't see what installation has to do with LO. At least not after running LOOT and making any adjustments.

Hi Kit, Check your populated...Reborn mods. I never used them but I think they're all, or some are Skyrim and not SSE mods. You can't use most LE mods in SSE.

Before you go any farther there's a few mods you should DL. Don't know which version of TKAA you have, I'm guessing V. one. Anyway, You dumped RSChildren and it's patches & went with TKAA, so you need some patches from "The Kids Are Alright" files. Cutting room floor patch Palaces and Castles patch Alternate start Live Another Life Hearthfire Multiple Adoptions Helgen Reborn.

Yes, you need to choose. If you keep RSChildren, if I'm remembering right, you also need the RSChildren patch for USSEP. If your son has access to the Internet over there can't he just post his LO here on Nexus & ask for a little help? Setting up a fair sized stable mod load order means reading each mod description carefully and adding any of it's requirements, running LOOT to get initial load order and SSEEdit to check for conflicts. I think the best way to sort this out would be for you to start a new game with just your sons mods, run LOOT and see where you are then. It's all for naught of course if your son doesn't have a strong enough laptop.

That's quite a load order. There's some mods there I'm not familiar with. I'm far from one of the more knowledgeable people here but the first thing I'd recommend is to add the unofficial Skyrim special edition patch. Does your son use LOOT for load order? I see he has RSChildren and also TKAA. Two mods that effect or change the same thing is usually a no no. Does he use a mod manager? Oops. I see he has USSEP.

No, I had no idea of any of that! Thanks smart man!

If you put his mod list in a spoiler here @Nexus I'm sure some of the sharp people here will help.

On the subject of food: Why can I go to a farmers field and take all their crop, right in front of the owners as they are hoeing? I do it but it feels wrong!

The netch is another harmless soul that I don't like killing. The Skaal who claim to kill only when necessary, kill them to prove their prowess?...phonies! Lots of things in Tamriel are contradictory.

I never used Imaginator but it's what I'd suspect from looking at your L/O. Did you try the disable all effects from the main menu of the mod?

Don't know of a mod that puts a marker above a corpse but the "Detect Dead" alteration spell, (not a mod) lights up dead bodies a pretty good distance away for me.
