Melviclilith Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I was thinking about throwing this out assuming no one else has worked on the idea before. During my run in skyrim I've run into a situation where both Alvor and Sigrid (A nice couple from the imperial side of the story in Riverwood) had perished due to dragon attacks and their little girl was left alone. Funny thing is the way Bethesda set everything up with them, I can use their house as if it were my own, taking nearly anything inside and using any of the beds. So that got me to thinking, what if I could adopt the girl (who has since mysteriously vanished from my game) and either move into Alvor's house or bring her to one of mine? I would imagine you could use the marriage scripts for the basic part of the mod, and by cutting out a few parts of the process and altering the text to be less romantic you could make it into an adoption process. Perhaps even a small quest line to prove to some sort of authority, like the Jarl of Whiterun, that you are willing/able to take the child into your family. Now I haven't done any of the character marriages yet, so I don't really know how it goes, but if possible you could also set up the adoption as a separate "marriage" in case the game only allows one spouse at a time leaving you free to find an actual spouse. Basically how I picture the mod going: 1) Parent(s) of child die by any means, even you killing them. It might not seem to make sense, but it cuts down on the modders work for the script events. As I have had no luck with past construction kit script events I’m relying on the kindness of the community to get this idea out. 2) Child approaches you automatically and asks if you can take them in. At this point you can say yes or no, I'm not sure if refusing should disable them from asking again or simply put off the question until you next talk with them. 3) Decide wither to move into their house or bring them to one of yours. 4) Have some sort of quest to petition or fame/influence with the regional Jarl about the adoption. 5) After taking them in, give them some sort of schedule such as working at a shop or cleaning the house. If possible make them companion capable as well, I could use a pack mule that doesn’t aggro on every living wolf or troll within a mile radius of my position. 6) Profit from free child labor...you evil, evil person you!

JMMcNemo Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I would love to be able to adopt a kid, train her to be my squire and sidekick, and travel the lands as Dovahkin and Dovahkinder. As long as they have brains enough to not shoot me or wander into MY shot, and to run (very fast) from fights they are clearly outmatched in and could be designated as essential, at least.

JBear Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I married Carlotta, and she is a wonderful spouse. But I am concerned . . . . See, we agreed to move into my house and now it seems Carlotta has abandoned her daughter. Carlotta doesn't seem to go to her shop anymore, and while her daughter sometimes comes to our house she disappears at night, I've found her sleeping in her old house. She gets antagonistic to Lydia when we vistit the old house too. Sadly, we have not been able to establish a famliy bond. I fear for the health of my marriage if something can't be done . . . . {roleplay off}It would be great if a mod could be created that allows adoption of children.
