SSE Just out of curiosity: child's head

[Dustmo7e]

Just out of curiosity: why is it that you cannot modify a child's head in CK? Is it locked somehow, prevented with some script, or is the model missing something that you might need in order to change it? How is it different from the adult heads?

Looks like they have facegen files and probably have to modify thier child race since head is not highlighted in the race window? Look at a child appearance mod to compare changes or to see what they changed. Not sure what they use for the head model. From what I have seen most child mods seem to be made with a new race. IE: normally a modified version of nord race that was duplicated and edited. Rosetta is a good example as I have actually increased her older version option's height since it didn't seem to be working in the FoMod, did that in SSEdit lest her face got meesed up by CK. Otherwise I'd have to replace her facegen with a saved copy.

Thank you for your reply. :smile:

I think would need to know how to read script to really see how the mods differ from the original? They have more sliders in CK but how that is accomplished, I do not know.

 

OK, so you need to make a special race, because "opening" the original somehow just doesn't work. Thanks again!

Could try duplicating one of the children and edit that copy but as far as I saw there is no head highlighted in the child race which is different compared to a adult race or custom race. IE: adult usually has Hair? Head Body Hands Feet while a khajiit has Hair? Head Body Hands Feet Tail. Sometimes I see Shield highlighted. Kinda got me curious. Forgot to see if they had a formlist for head parts. I'll have to peek at a child replacer mod to see what they did. More or less how I learn how to do some things, load a mod and poke around.

I think that is the best way to learn anything. :) Sometimes yu just require some previous knowledge to understand what you are seeing. I suspected that the child is a "doll" with only facial animations attached. That you cannot change anything about it, because there is anothing to change. But then I realised that it still wears different wigs in game and there have to be some vertices somewhere for the animations to work. So, I thought the problem was in the model itself, but perhaps it is not?

 

Perhaps I'll have another look-see myself, too. And who knows, maybe some of the modders modding children will have Youtube channels about that.
