Settlers with baby

[Deleted49413338User]

Does any mod add the baby carry art to npc settlers? I can see how it might be problematic with assigning jobs, but it would be kinda cool if on very rare occasion, an npc arrived carrying a baby. Somehow linking a condition to that art object being added to them so they are unable to be assigned to anything.

Well if you think about it, when FO4 begins -when you run towards the Vault, either you or your spouse is holding Shaun. It think it would be reasonable to imagine that a talented modder out there could conceivably create a settler holding a child.

 

Kid could disappear when doing work and reappear after.

You can make a human NPC hold a baby from the console, click on the NPC and then type:

equipitem f468e
caf AnimFlavorHoldingBaby

That would be a very simple mod. Note that, using this method, the animation will fail if the NPC is running another animation, like for example holding a weapon.

Yeah, I could probably figure out a simple version myself but I'd rather see a proper mod that locks the npc to not assignable for jobs and uses the flee/ crouch hide animation if in combat only.

This may be less in line with the thematic intent of the OP, but what if someone made a Sim Settlements addition with a few houses that included a crib and the baby objects with some baby sounds?

 

Between something like this and Child Settler mods it could really add a lot of UH-MER-SHUN. ^_^

How about assigning two npcs to the same bed will give a random chance for a baby to spawn it on one of them, maybe with a notification saying something like "two settlers are now parents" and you could even have a mini mission to go welcome the new arrival (the baby).

 

Really cool idea by the way!

You could even replace the baby with a child after a period of time for added emersion ^.^

SandMouseAnarchy, that is next level! haha. That would be awesome.

I'm pretty sure the engine would not allow you to assign multiple NPCs to one object/plot. I'm thinking that you could probably do the thing with the calendar turning with turning the baby into a Child Settler, but that seems like something that would be more work than reward, especially when just adding some baby assets to a plot would do the job. Just my 2 cents.

[Deleted49413338User]

baby assets to a plot? so, you mean sim settlements? I don't really use that mod it is good but doesn't really fit with my game.

 

I feel like settlers arriving with a baby seems like a natural thing, more natural than a bunch of orphaned children somehow turning up that other mods add.

 

how do they even make it through the wasteland in their stupid crappy outfits that have no armor without any adult to escort them? I don't really care much for craftable furnitures but it would be cool to have the parent put the baby in a crib at the night then go to sleep themselves. I honestly don't think it has to be that complicated though, its something you would'nt even notice unless standing there watching and waiting..

There are modded beds that can have 2 settlers sleep on. I was thinkin.

 

Make a special bed

 

Have them sleep in the bed together=random chance for mother to have a baby {Hold Baby} For about 72 hrs game time

(While in baby state the mother cannot work or be assign to anything)(Runs and hide when attacked)(She dies baby disappears)

 

Then baby turns into a child settler - then teen - then adult
