Child Mod

There are now children in the world of Kenshi.

There are new starts as well. Play as a child of any race, and see how you fare.

(The "Parent Looking for their Child" start has their actual child living somewhere in the world. If you see characters that usually aren't there, they are story characters. Best not talk to them unless you're looking for the story character.)

WORKS WELL WITH:

Children have stat penalties, but some stats are boosted. Their health is lower and they are smaller in size. They are also treated differently sometimes.

Children will not grow up, but here is what you can do:
- Go to
...\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\233860
- Copy the folder named "1688594162"
- Paste the folder into
...\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Kenshi\mods
- Rename the copy of "1688594162" as "Children"
- Open the Kenshi editor
- Select the mod "Children"
- Select "Towns" from the list in the left
- Double click any town that you can visit
- Make sure the tab next to "Add" says "Bar squads"
- Press "Add" on the top right
- Select "SQUADADULT"
- Double click SQUADADULT
- Double click ADULT
- Edit the character to fit the child character
(-100 health on a limb means that that limb is missing)
- Save the mod. Start the game. Go to the town you placed the squad in. Find the adult version of your character. Talk to them and recruit them. "Dispose" of the child version of the character.
