Children Wear Anything
Let your child colonists wear any clothing in the game!
Tired of children being stuck with a handful of kid-specific clothes? This mod removes all apparel restrictions for child pawns — they can wear any outfit, armor, or gear, just like adults.
Features
👕 No More Clothing Restrictions
- Children can equip any apparel in the game, including items from other mods
- Works automatically — no manual setup required
- Apparel mods that never defined a child stage are handled too
- Compatible with Humanoid Alien Races race-restricted apparel (optional toggle)
- Apparel for different body types from other modifications is supported and could be adjusted
📐 Automatic Visual Scaling
- Oversized adult clothing is scaled down to fit child bodies
- Separate scale controls for mixed apparel, child-only apparel, body mesh, and tattoos
- All effects fully adjustable with sliders
⚖️ Balanced Penalties
- Wearing oversized adult gear reduces armor ratings (Sharp, Blunt, Heat)
- Movement speed is reduced per oversized item worn, capped at 80%
- Penalties are visible in the stat inspector with a clear explanation
- Can be disabled or fine-tuned in settings
🔍 Live Preview Inspector
- Optional button appears on child pawns when enabled in settings
- Opens a window showing the pawn from all four directions in real time
- Adjust scaling, rotation, and offset while watching the result live
- Changes are only saved when you click Save — closing discards all edits
⚙️ Per-Mod Overrides
- Each apparel mod can have its own rotation, scale, offset, and penalty values
- Overrides are populated automatically based on your current mod list
- Save and load full setting configurations as named presets
Compatibility
- RimWorld Version: 1.6
- Safe to add to existing saves
- Safe to remove (gear stays equipped, effects simply stop applying)
- Works with Humanoid Alien Races
- No known conflicts with other mods
Settings Location: Main Menu → Options → Mod Settings → Children Wear Anything
FAQ
Q: Will this slow down my game?
A: No. All lookups are cached and the rendering hooks exit instantly for non-child pawns.
Q: Do apparel mods work automatically?
A: Yes. The mod patches apparel definitions at load time, so any mod that adds clothing is covered without configuration.
Q: What happens if I remove an apparel mod?
A: Missing apparel is handled by RimWorld normally. No errors or crashes from this mod.
Q: Can I turn off the tilt and scaling effects?
A: Yes, every visual effect has its own toggle in the settings.
Q: Can I disable penalties?
A: Yes, armor and movement penalties can each be turned off independently.
Q: The live inspector button doesn't appear on my pawn. Why?
A: It's disabled by default. Enable it in Mod Settings under Live Pawn Inspector.
Q: I see "Failed to find any textures" errors in the log. Can this mod fix them?
A: Yes. Enable "Fix missing adult apparel body type textures" in the Experimental section of the settings.
