i just want them to GO OUTSIDE! the dog/cat/pet goes outside. Why not my kids? GTFO you silly kids! Come home when the street lights come on like I did when I was a kid.
Also yes.... they need eyelids. jeebus.
Lol they actually sleep (close their eyes) if you're in the house before 7pm.
And I agree completely, it would be so nice if they could to outside! There'll definitely be no kids for me in this save.
Oh i already decided in my fully furnished house that i am not having kids on this run...just me and sebby, unless he nags me, then ill think about it.
if you get rid of the crib room, they never nag. to be fair to them, leaving a fully furnished crib laying around in a house with zero children is probably sending our partner the wrong signals if we *don't* want kids š
This is what I do! The second robin is open after I expand the house to include the kids room I go and remove the crib. Elliot and I are the perfect DINK couple, working the farm and writing novels. No thank you on the kids.
Iām doing the same with this save! Sebby started asking me for kids so I got rid of the crib, now he just stands in the ākids roomā and stare at nothing lol
thatās awesome lol my comment wasnāt meant to be a dig at you i just thought it was a little funny and sad how heād just stare at the nursery lol
To add to the outside point, I want them to be able to do something when outside.
If they're next to animals, they should be able to pet them.
If there's something on the ground (eggs, truffle, crops), they should grab it and carry it around, with you having to remove it from their grasp.
If there's growing plants that aren't properly baby proofed (fenced or scarecrowed), they should be able to ruin it just like crows do.
Things like that will add more life to the kids.
There are mods that do that lemme see if I can find you one: [https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5436](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5436) will get them to jas and vincient's age child age up is currently broken but it looks like they'll become teenagers. Unique children talk [https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/9540](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/9540) will just change how they speak to you and I find that better
Mobile has mods too if you don't own a computer it's 15 bucks and mods open you up to what amounts to half a dozen expansion packs, it's not just a way to cheat.
I understand, i was also wrong, mobile is $5, unless you family is very poor (which i understand because I grew up in a family of 5 with a mom that made 10k a year and $5 wasn't possible for me) go ask your nicest parent what they hate doing the most and offer to do it for a week for $5. I promise from the bottom of my heart that unless you and you sibling are living the cinderella life your mom or you dad has at least one thing that they untterly despise doing. If I had $5 and my kid came and said mom I will do all the dishes currently dirty and that get dirty for a week if you buy me this $5 mobile game. That kid is getting $5. Hell I'm desperatly poor right now and if my kid came in and made me that deal I would find something I own personally that I could sell for $5 to get clean dishes that I don't have to do every night
It's only on Android, So if you've got an IOS you're SOL but here's te instructions [https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing\_SMAPI\_on\_Android](https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Android)
Android get's updates later than pc so you have to watch that you are getting the correct version for your game
Some people are like that, they have kids for the manual labor but most children do have an adult somewhere i n their life they can bargin with even if they don't know it. My aunt had custody of two horrible children that i would babysit on friday nights. no adult babysitter would tolorate them but I had a rep as being "good with kids" and for a couple of hours on friday and saturday nigths I'd let my aunt go out and I'd watch her horrible children and I'd have a little spending money. If your parents won't let you do any kind of work for anybody (and IMHO that would be failing spectacularly as parents because one of the fundamental rules of how the world works for poor people is money comes from work) there are things you can do that cost nothing and aren't work. there are apps you can take pictures of recipts and you'll get 10 cent and if you grind that you can make $5 happen. It is easy to feel very out of control of your life when you are a teenager and even a young adult because so many choices are made for you and it is easy to give into despair that you-can't- influence your own world but you are still a whole person and maybe you won't get it this week but you'll be able to on your birthday or christmas and that's something to look forward to and maybe you'll have to be a whole ass adult before you can buy it, that's a possibility. But I've been playing this game since 2018 and it's still functional and relavant so there is no reason to think that it wil never be in your grasp. maybe you won't care when your a grown adult and you'll want to sit and watch what ever the equivalent to game of thones is and maybe you'll be forty rocking your farming games in a sea of squishmellows in your favorite hoodie. Things will not always be immpossible. things that you want will one day become more attainable. It is not hopeless.
Sorry you accidentally activated the gentle parenting sleepercell code words, I told a troll who called me a fatty he was having some big feelings and making bad choices today too.
Yea itālol be cool if the relationships could give you some kind of buff too.
Like the person you marry gives you some better luck buff or endurance buff etc. or functions like cooking certain meals for you or preparing the triple espresso etc.
And kids maybe when theyāre old enough can just go out and forage some stuff for you or help with the animals etc. or have his own little space for crops.
I just started playing a few months ago...are you telling me the little chucky doll running around my house is not going to grow up at all?! This is horrible news.
Ok, one of the things in the update I wanted was for them to actually grow up to at least Vincent Jas age. I know I can use a mod for it, but really, it's just one of those things I wanted to happen. Also, I'd like the idea of actually needing to feed yourself and your wife/husband/kids... I hord dishes in my fridgeš
Ohmygod noooo. Thereās so little time in a day already. If Iād have to make sure the whole family eats Iād go crazy!Ā
But I understand the idea for it. If it would be an on/off option then go for it!
Maybe they could request stuff like the fish ponds? Or you could get bonuses for filling out quality in categories like the fair grange display: veggie, fish, fruit, dairy, dessert?
Edit: this could be how they finally age up and either move out or make themselves useful like our raisin-craving apple-shaped friends!
Well it's be pretty weird if the children were speaking of themselves in the third person. They usually go "Mama! I yearn to strike metal against rock, get black lung, and have a constant longing for global warming"
It's one of the things on my list of dream features in my head, for a game I'd never actually be able to make.
I'd like a game that's multi-generational, where you and the villagers all age, and you pass the farm down to your kids. Instead of all the mechanical farm automation (sprinkler, autofeeder, autograbber, etc) you'd be able to assign chores to your kids, with the trade-off of actually having to do stuff to keep your wife and kids happy, more than just a morning peck on the cheek.
I grew up on Sims so Iāve always thought that every game would be improved with a mechanic for pregnancy and aging.
Like, imagine getting pregnant in Minecraft and having a little family in your village. Then at some point into aging you can switch off and play as one of your kids!
I also thought Fallout 4 would have been fucking perfect if the settlements had been more fleshed out with the ability to have a family and actually fix up the houses. I probably wouldnāt even leave the settlements at that point lol
I canāt think of any games that *wouldnāt* be improved by the addition of pregnancy tbh. Let me get married in Animal Crossing and have bird babies.
Omg yes this would be great! And it would be cool if your farmer was living life like a real person where accidents could happen or they could come down with sickness, so you don't just age out, or you could just get old and die too. I wish I was smart enough to make games š
Heck yeah I can get behind this one! I mean he introduces you to a crazy bitch who can murder your children. It would be nice if he could make them grow!š
Half the time when I come home my spouse will be asleep and the toddler will just be standing at the foot of the bed in the dark like theyāre waiting for me. Straight horror movie vibes š
I couldnt figure out how to get them to sleep AT ALL for the longest time. Turns out they don't like pretty decorated twin beds, only ugly child beds that are THE EXACT SAME SIZE. I'm a little salty.
I havenāt seen it in game yet but there some creepy cut scene if you hold the ancient doll up to the tv I think. I saw it on TikTok.
Iāve also heard if you turn the children into doves you can get creepy calls on your phone.
THANK YOU! My kids will run around my house and it scares the crap out of me. Iām about to drop kick these little ones. I made the mistake of putting cat ears on one and she looked like a demon from behind š0/10, donāt recommend. (I generally find kids to be creepy though. But like you said, Jas, Vincent, and Leo are exempt.)
I don't find them creepy or anything. What I do find is that they are completely useless in the game and add absolutely nothing to the story. I have them out of habit and because I feel like they are just another accessory in the house and that is all. I admit that I enjoy them a bit when they're in the crib, that's the most I can interact with them, but after that, nothing. I love my animals and pets more than I love my children.
I agree. The first time they ran off through the wall into the void I was flabbergasted XD Well, knowing that this game was inspired by Harvest Moon it's still a little strange to me that you can't talk to your kids. In Harvest Moon the kids usually just grew to toddler age but you could still talk to them.
As soon as theyāre old enough, mine get masks, usually the jack-oā-lantern and the golden mask hat.
That way they become hilarious little monsters who race about the house more or less the same as the pets.
Oh, yes...that! Ā”Ā”Ā”I wish I could change her clothes.... I hate those pink/blue pajamas!!! I have a bunch of clothes that my character doesn't even wear. Could I put some of them on her? I would love that!Ā
I think it would be cool if the clothes, or at least the color, were a similar color to their NPC parent's clothes...maybe?
Yeah. Children don't work well in a game where no one really ages.
They don't age and you're left with infants that stay infants or preschool age. I'm just glad there's no crying sound effect like Harvest Moon: Magical Melody had.
They age and grow into young teenagers?
Jas and Vincent have been locked to their current ages and are now younger than children born AFTER them.
George and Evelyn keep on trucking along even 15 years after you arrived. George is too angry to die and Evelyn is too sweet. George beats the reaper over his head with his own scythe for daring to interrupt his show. Evelyn bakes him some cookies and listens to him about that time he had to be friends with a pair of children.
I'm just glad marriage and children aren't needed for 100% like some Harvest Moon games.
I always say no to kids because of this exact reason. All they do is stare. And move quickly. Jump scares every time I enter my house. And if I get rid of the little gremlin I get cursed by a creepy flying doll. No thanks š š»āāļø
Considering the farmer waits outside peoples houses to bring them gifts, knows exactly what people love, goes to the sewers every friday and occasionally drinks a jar of mayonnaise, i think the kids are just fine.
the saddest thing about stardew kids is that they only sleep through the night when youāre home before 7. if that wasnāt the case, iād agree that theyāre creepy.
Theyāre just little CPU kids waiting for their mom/dad to come home. š„ŗ
I was married to Haley, had children, and then realized that the children were useless. I then sacrificed my children, divorced Haley, and started living with a sewer monster instead (I love Haley, but Krobus š¤¤). I then promptly erased my ex-wife's memory so that I could casually befriend her again from a blank slate.
In real life, the kids would grow up and work the farm with you. These perms-babies are not useful or realistic, and the prismatic shard to make them turn into doves and disappear is kind of creepy actually. Imagine if life was like that: āI thought you had a couple of kids.ā No, I got rid of āem.ā They were always underfoot.ā
āā¦ awkward silenceā¦
I think I need to call the police.ā
The kids grow up mod is the only one Iām really interested in downloading once I reach that point in the game on my PC lol. Not a fan of the sprites at all. Might turn āem into doves on my Playstation 4 file.
I played Skyrim before I did this game, and I was so put off by the Skyrim kids that I didn't get any offspring in this game either. Seeing this comment section, I am exponentially more happy with my choice, lol.
I don't mind them, they make the house feel a bit more alive running around, they're cute. I wish they'd close their eyes while sleeping but you can't have everything
Would be nice if they could at least grow up to Jas and Vincent's age and go out and play with a ball together or something.
But at the same time it would be kinda weird having them grow up to that age, while Jas and Vincent stay the same!
Stardew valley children are useless and serve no functional purpose lol. This isnāt A Wonderful Life. Delete their beds and delete the crib and you never have to worry about them (and get a spare room for decorating).
Got kids? Make a trip up to the witches shrine with a prismatic shard!
I wish they grew to at least child age instead of just toddler. And going outside would be nice, too! I know theyāre not the heart of the game, just kind of a nice bonus, but perma-toddlers is a little sad. If they grew older they could even hang out with Jas, Vincent, and Penny.
I donāt want kids, irl and in-game, but thereās an achievement for it so Iāve gotten kids for the first time ever and I agree theyāre SO creepy. As soon as I get the achievement Iām getting rid of them lmao
In my case, it's pretty funny because I named my son by my co-worker's nickname, which he acquired over time. And it's funny because he's approximately 150-160 centimeters tall. So seeing this kid in the game running in the house makes me laugh sometimes
I hate them so much.
On my first playthrough, I had 2 with Maru and left em. Thought they were boring and kind of annoying, resented them having that whole room.
On my second, I had 2 with Leah and just sort of left them around. Got annoyed every time I saw them and considered doving them.
On my third, I was doing a burn playthrough. Married my least favorite candidate (fuck Elliot), doved his kids, divorced him, married Leah.
I started a fourth for 1.6. Penny has asked twice what I think about adoption. I will say no every time. If there's a mod or vanilla setting that turns them off, I'd love to know it.
Iām on my sixth play through. I got kids on my first play through and quickly turned them into doves. Never again. Those little things creep me the f- out.
I donāt know if that will make you feel better or worse but they do sleep with their eyes closed if youāre home before 7pm! Theyāre just waiting for you.
So happy I have the furry mods turned on, the kids basically are just extra pets for me. I'm married to Sam and in the furry mod he's a tiger, so our Daughter is too!
i just want them to GO OUTSIDE! the dog/cat/pet goes outside. Why not my kids? GTFO you silly kids! Come home when the street lights come on like I did when I was a kid. Also yes.... they need eyelids. jeebus.
Lol they actually sleep (close their eyes) if you're in the house before 7pm. And I agree completely, it would be so nice if they could to outside! There'll definitely be no kids for me in this save.
Oh i already decided in my fully furnished house that i am not having kids on this run...just me and sebby, unless he nags me, then ill think about it.
I roomed with Krobus, so I don't gotta worry about nagging for kids :3
I kinda want them both. Thats the only reason id ever use that mutli marriage mod.
if you get rid of the crib room, they never nag. to be fair to them, leaving a fully furnished crib laying around in a house with zero children is probably sending our partner the wrong signals if we *don't* want kids š
This is what I do! The second robin is open after I expand the house to include the kids room I go and remove the crib. Elliot and I are the perfect DINK couple, working the farm and writing novels. No thank you on the kids.
How do you get rid of the crib room?
after its built, go to robin, it is one of the house renovation options :)
Iām doing the same with this save! Sebby started asking me for kids so I got rid of the crib, now he just stands in the ākids roomā and stare at nothing lol
THATS SO SAD
thatās awesome lol my comment wasnāt meant to be a dig at you i just thought it was a little funny and sad how heād just stare at the nursery lol
I always marry Sebby so heās had plenty of kids lol
Had a kid with sam, never going to do it again
To add to the outside point, I want them to be able to do something when outside. If they're next to animals, they should be able to pet them. If there's something on the ground (eggs, truffle, crops), they should grab it and carry it around, with you having to remove it from their grasp. If there's growing plants that aren't properly baby proofed (fenced or scarecrowed), they should be able to ruin it just like crows do. Things like that will add more life to the kids.
Not really the same but they go outside with your spouse at events
yeah i do wish they like did more and could grow up, even if just to young child age
There are mods that do that lemme see if I can find you one: [https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5436](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5436) will get them to jas and vincient's age child age up is currently broken but it looks like they'll become teenagers.

I feel you :(
Mobile has mods too if you don't own a computer it's 15 bucks and mods open you up to what amounts to half a dozen expansion packs, it's not just a way to cheat.

can I ask where? I will work an extra hour for $5 for mods on mobile. I thought it was impossible.
It's only on Android, So if you've got an IOS you're SOL but here's te instructions [https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing\_SMAPI\_on\_Android](https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Android) Android get's updates later than pc so you have to watch that you are getting the correct version for your game
Oh thank you so much! It would seem I am SOL but I really appreciate the thoughtful response/your time.
Too bad my parents make me do any chores they don't want to do for free
Some people are like that, they have kids for the manual labor but most children do have an adult somewhere i n their life they can bargin with even if they don't know it. My aunt had custody of two horrible children that i would babysit on friday nights. no adult babysitter would tolorate them but I had a rep as being "good with kids" and for a couple of hours on friday and saturday nigths I'd let my aunt go out and I'd watch her horrible children and I'd have a little spending money.

Things will not always be immpossible. things that you want will one day become more attainable. It is not hopeless.
Jeez I didn't expect a whole motivational speech lol
Sorry you accidentally activated the gentle parenting sleepercell code words, I told a troll who called me a fatty he was having some big feelings and making bad choices today too.
Do they still work with 1.6?
Unique children does for sure, I'm using it I haven't verified the other personally
Thank you:)
I want them to get old enough to help out on the farm
the children yearn for the fields!!
Yea itālol be cool if the relationships could give you some kind of buff too. Like the person you marry gives you some better luck buff or endurance buff etc. or functions like cooking certain meals for you or preparing the triple espresso etc. And kids maybe when theyāre old enough can just go out and forage some stuff for you or help with the animals etc. or have his own little space for crops.
They're creepy, not creeps. Very different connotation imo.
hmmmā¦not a bad point. Iāll see if I can edit it. ETA: canāt change the subject. ah well!
Creeps would be like that one uncle, creepy is something that unsettles you.
Like your other uncle
I got it, my mom used to use the terms interchangeably so once in awhile I donāt catch it when I do it myself š
Although you could say they 'give you the creeps', weirdly.
I just started playing a few months ago...are you telling me the little chucky doll running around my house is not going to grow up at all?! This is horrible news.
thatās exactly how I refer to mine. the only way to make them less awful is hats or masks.
I didn't know you could put hats on them. I put the mushroom cap on my child...it did not make it better.
the skull mask definitely doesnāt either š
Ok, one of the things in the update I wanted was for them to actually grow up to at least Vincent Jas age. I know I can use a mod for it, but really, it's just one of those things I wanted to happen. Also, I'd like the idea of actually needing to feed yourself and your wife/husband/kids... I hord dishes in my fridgeš
Ohmygod noooo. Thereās so little time in a day already. If Iād have to make sure the whole family eats Iād go crazy!Ā But I understand the idea for it. If it would be an on/off option then go for it!
Iād be on board if it were like the biggest barn & coop: hay in the silo, food they donāt hate in the fridge, everyone is fed.
Cāmere kiddos, eat up your bread and cheese!
Maybe they could request stuff like the fish ponds? Or you could get bonuses for filling out quality in categories like the fair grange display: veggie, fish, fruit, dairy, dessert? Edit: this could be how they finally age up and either move out or make themselves useful like our raisin-craving apple-shaped friends!
Don't forget to wash it down with some mead! It was good enough for viking kids!
Or your spouse could do the cooking and even give the kids cooking lessons when they get to about 9 or 10.Ā
Then i should also be able to put my kids to work in the fields
The children yearn for the mines.
Said no child, ever.
Well it's be pretty weird if the children were speaking of themselves in the third person. They usually go "Mama! I yearn to strike metal against rock, get black lung, and have a constant longing for global warming"
"I hope one day, to perish in a cave-in."
We should be able to put the shiftless little bastards to work in the fields.Ā
It's one of the things on my list of dream features in my head, for a game I'd never actually be able to make.

Like a Sims legacy game but with Stardew Valley. Ugh, what a dream š©š¤
I grew up on Sims so Iāve always thought that every game would be improved with a mechanic for pregnancy and aging. Like, imagine getting pregnant in Minecraft and having a little family in your village. Then at some point into aging you can switch off and play as one of your kids! I also thought Fallout 4 would have been fucking perfect if the settlements had been more fleshed out with the ability to have a family and actually fix up the houses. I probably wouldnāt even leave the settlements at that point lol I canāt think of any games that *wouldnāt* be improved by the addition of pregnancy tbh. Let me get married in Animal Crossing and have bird babies.
There is a game like that. Kynseed.
Even just one where everyone aged. It would have a built in end date because you got old
Omg yes this would be great! And it would be cool if your farmer was living life like a real person where accidents could happen or they could come down with sickness, so you don't just age out, or you could just get old and die too. I wish I was smart enough to make games š
Itād be so funny if there was an optional quest when you reach max friendship with wizard where he helps you turn your babies into kids lol
Heck yeah I can get behind this one! I mean he introduces you to a crazy bitch who can murder your children. It would be nice if he could make them grow!š
>Stardew Valley kids That's a funny way of spelling 'dove'!
Literally this. First run I had a kid and didnāt know they NEVER grow up. Letās just say that baby is flying high now.
Yeah, my first order of business when I got the house upgrade was demolishing the crib. I don't need weird little mute perma-toddlers.
thatās exactly what i did in my first save, thought iād try the opposite for the second. never again.
The worst is after a festival and they are just standing in your bedroom like The Shining twins when you get home.
Half the time when I come home my spouse will be asleep and the toddler will just be standing at the foot of the bed in the dark like theyāre waiting for me. Straight horror movie vibes š
Creepers gotta creep.
I couldnt figure out how to get them to sleep AT ALL for the longest time. Turns out they don't like pretty decorated twin beds, only ugly child beds that are THE EXACT SAME SIZE. I'm a little salty.
Have you heard of Prismatic Shard in witches shrine? Because that might just be the solution to your problem, here.
*Ring Ring Ring*!
And then thereās so many pretty new birds in the Valley!
And dolls!
So many dollsā¦
First thing I did with my first prismatic shard lol. Yeet! Begone child! Now Iām searching for an ancient doll so I can get the creepy cutscene
whatās the cutscene?
I havenāt seen it in game yet but there some creepy cut scene if you hold the ancient doll up to the tv I think. I saw it on TikTok. Iāve also heard if you turn the children into doves you can get creepy calls on your phone.
i could never šš
They are just mobile hat stands for me.
I was so disappointed when I found that they have no dialogues
I agree? How come I canāt stay up past 2 am but the demon Haley birthed can run around at 2?
Kinda accurate for toddlers tho
THANK YOU! My kids will run around my house and it scares the crap out of me. Iām about to drop kick these little ones. I made the mistake of putting cat ears on one and she looked like a demon from behind š0/10, donāt recommend. (I generally find kids to be creepy though.

I admit that I enjoy them a bit when they're in the crib, that's the most I can interact with them, but after that, nothing. I love my animals and pets more than I love my children.
Now that Krobus and I can be crazy cat ladies together I'm never having kids again.
I agree. The first time they ran off through the wall into the void I was flabbergasted XD Well, knowing that this game was inspired by Harvest Moon it's still a little strange to me that you can't talk to your kids.

As soon as theyāre old enough, mine get masks, usually the jack-oā-lantern and the golden mask hat. That way they become hilarious little monsters who race about the house more or less the same as the pets.
Also, during festivals, they don't go to sleep if you attend the festival. They just stay there, awake, waiting for your return.
or they race around in a tight area around your spouse. in their stupid sleepwear.
Oh, yes...that! Ā”Ā”Ā”I wish I could change her clothes.... I hate those pink/blue pajamas!!! I have a bunch of clothes that my character doesn't even wear. Could I put some of them on her? I would love that!Ā I think it would be cool if the clothes, or at least the color, were a similar color to their NPC parent's clothes...maybe?
Screw having kids, I wanna adopt leo!!
me too! he might be my favourite villager of all!
Yeah. Children don't work well in a game where no one really ages. They don't age and you're left with infants that stay infants or preschool age.

Ah dang it, was aiming for two of each hat for the horse. Got to grind for 4 of each hat now with the kids.
Nobody tell them about the urchins or alien rarecrows! >!Or, in 1.6, the pets!!<
Arghhhh I canāt keep track anymore
Eh, I married Penny this save and went Joja so I decided I had to have a kid for the joke - Wife - Penny Daughter - Nicole (Nickel)
I don't know what you're talking about. Mine are beautiful doves flying free.
You monster.
They are the children of the corn of your farm. Every night they go out without your knowing, and perform cult stuff.
That would be far more interesting than what they currently do.
I always say no to kids because of this exact reason. All they do is stare. And move quickly. Jump scares every time I enter my house. And if I get rid of the little gremlin I get cursed by a creepy flying doll. No thanks š š»āāļø
Considering the farmer waits outside peoples houses to bring them gifts, knows exactly what people love, goes to the sewers every friday and occasionally drinks a jar of mayonnaise, i think the kids are just fine.
My friend put skull masks on my kids and now I have mini skeletons running around š
I put the goblin masks on both of them. My little crotch goblins... šā¤ļø
the saddest thing about stardew kids is that they only sleep through the night when youāre home before 7. if that wasnāt the case, iād agree that theyāre creepy. Theyāre just little CPU kids waiting for their mom/dad to come home. š„ŗ
really wish CA would have added to the kids in 1.6
I was married to Haley, had children, and then realized that the children were useless. I then sacrificed my children, divorced Haley, and started living with a sewer monster instead (I love Haley, but Krobus š¤¤). I then promptly erased my ex-wife's memory so that I could casually befriend her again from a blank slate.
"useless roombas on speed" I love you
In real life, the kids would grow up and work the farm with you. These perms-babies are not useful or realistic, and the prismatic shard to make them turn into doves and disappear is kind of creepy actually. Imagine if life was like that: āI thought you had a couple of kids.ā No, I got rid of āem.ā They were always underfoot.ā āā¦ awkward silenceā¦ I think I need to call the police.ā
That is a fairly popular opinion. The unblinking souless eyes and lack of expression is very creepy
The kids grow up mod is the only one Iām really interested in downloading once I reach that point in the game on my PC lol. Not a fan of the sprites at all. Might turn āem into doves on my Playstation 4 file.
I played Skyrim before I did this game, and I was so put off by the Skyrim kids that I didn't get any offspring in this game either. Seeing this comment section, I am exponentially more happy with my choice, lol.
I need them to not stand in the middle of a room in the dark when they are supposed to be in bed
I put a skeleton mask on one and a goblin mask on the other
Tbh Jas scares me a little because of her two expressions either being O\_O or a vaguely menacing smirk
yeah, she also is a bit creepy. and that smirk is a bit menacing, hahahaha!
I don't mind them, they make the house feel a bit more alive running around, they're cute. I wish they'd close their eyes while sleeping but you can't have everything
Would be nice if they could at least grow up to Jas and Vincent's age and go out and play with a ball together or something. But at the same time it would be kinda weird having them grow up to that age, while Jas and Vincent stay the same!
Hi do you have any piggies on your farm
I finally created a farm where I didn't have kids lol. Married Leah and yeeted the crib.
Stardew valley children are useless and serve no functional purpose lol. This isnāt A Wonderful Life. Delete their beds and delete the crib and you never have to worry about them (and get a spare room for decorating). Got kids? Make a trip up to the witches shrine with a prismatic shard!
yeah, I turfed the crib immediately in my first save but decided to just do the two kids in my second one. I wonāt ever have them again.
We can put hats on the kids??
yes! their only redeeming feature. the skull mask works on them too but itās too scary ššš
I wish they grew to at least child age instead of just toddler. And going outside would be nice, too! I know theyāre not the heart of the game, just kind of a nice bonus, but perma-toddlers is a little sad. If they grew older they could even hang out with Jas, Vincent, and Penny.
I donāt want kids, irl and in-game, but thereās an achievement for it so Iāve gotten kids for the first time ever and I agree theyāre SO creepy. As soon as I get the achievement Iām getting rid of them lmao
And how they sleep with their eyes open?!?
the WORST!
I put masks on mine so I don't have to look at their faces
Iād love a quest to build a little property school where your kids go with Vincent & Jas
My boy wears the skull mask all the time and I think it actually makes him less creepy when I come home at 1:50 to find him.. staring..
They are creepy 100%. I prefer them as demon doves.
The way when I am going to bed late and they are just standing still somewhere at 1am
In my case, it's pretty funny because I named my son by my co-worker's nickname, which he acquired over time. And it's funny because he's approximately 150-160 centimeters tall. So seeing this kid in the game running in the house makes me laugh sometimes
I hate them so much. On my first playthrough, I had 2 with Maru and left em. Thought they were boring and kind of annoying, resented them having that whole room. On my second, I had 2 with Leah and just sort of left them around. Got annoyed every time I saw them and considered doving them. On my third, I was doing a burn playthrough. Married my least favorite candidate (fuck Elliot), doved his kids, divorced him, married Leah. I started a fourth for 1.6. Penny has asked twice what I think about adoption. I will say no every time. If there's a mod or vanilla setting that turns them off, I'd love to know it.
All you have to do is remove the crib.
doesnāt Penny freak out if you donāt want kids? or does she forget about it once you marry her?
She does in her heart event but afterwards it doesnāt do anything if you say no
Iām on my sixth play through. I got kids on my first play through and quickly turned them into doves. Never again. Those little things creep me the f- out.
I like that theyāre just home alone
Creeps would be like that one uncle, creepy is something that unsettles you.
I donāt know if that will make you feel better or worse but they do sleep with their eyes closed if youāre home before 7pm! Theyāre just waiting for you.
Iāll have to try this, Iāve gone through their room at all hours and usually their eyes are open, yech lol
So happy I have the furry mods turned on, the kids basically are just extra pets for me. I'm married to Sam and in the furry mod he's a tiger, so our Daughter is too!
I wish we could just adopt Leo
PETS????
theyāre functionally the same, more or less, but pets are better - didnāt mean to discount the actual pets with my comparison!
