Same Bloodline - Dynamic Child Elf
🌟Module introduction
**Same Bloodline** is a visual enhancement SMAPI module that can dynamically replace the child elves in the game, making them look more like their NPC parents! This means that if you marry and have children with different NPCs, your children will have different physical characteristics.
👶 Children’s style
The mod provides 2 different styles for the children of each original spouse (two for boys and two for girls), and one style will be randomly selected when the child is born:
- **Boy style**: neatly styled, messy hair
- **Girl style**: ponytail, bun
Seasonal sprite overlays are also supported, including winter sprites by default!
🎨 Custom sprite
All sprite files are located in the mod folder, you can freely edit or create a new style!
**Elf file structure example:**
- Baby.png - Baby stage wizard (cradle and crawling stage)
- Baby_dark.png - Dark-skinned baby elf
- Toddler-Combed.png - Combed style for boys
- Toddler-Messy.png - Messy style for boys
- Toddler_girl-Hairbuns.png - Girl bun style
- Toddler_girl-Pigtails.png - Girl Ponytail Style
**Seasonal Elf:**
- winter.png - Winter overlay for boys
- winter_girl.png - Winter overlay for girls
Other seasons include spring, summer, and fall, and you can create corresponding overlays as needed!
⌨️ Console commands

Change the sprite of a child named Billy to look like Emily
- **style **
*Example: style Mary Pigtails*
Change the hair style of a child named Mary to a ponytail

Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)
- Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
- Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
- Launch the game through SMAPI (run StardewModdingAPI.exe or set it as the launch option). The console before the title screen lists each mod's load result.
Cheat-style tools may not need SMAPI — unzip and run them as the readme describes. Back up your save before editing it; SMAPI lists failed mods in its console.
