Adopt Aventus Aretino

HEARTHFIRE REQUIRED

You can now adopt Aventus Aretino. Speak to him in the Aretino Residence after completing the quest Innocence Lost.

Recommendation for people who have mods that return Aventus back to the Orphanage: Turn on this mod AFTER Aventus has returned.

Any feedback, positive or negative, leave them in the comments below :)

IMPORTANT NOTE: Once Aventus is adopted the game treats him just like any other adopted kid. To unadopt him you can't just disable this mod; you'll need to do stuff that allows you to unadopt any kid, such as disabling Hearthfire entirely and then re-enabling it again.

Note for users of mods that change children's appearance (RS Children, The Kids Are Alright, Dolls): Download patches at the above Nexus mods link.

--- Update 1.8 ---
Minor changes to Aventus's post-adoption dialogue.

--- Update 1.7 ---
Made this mod more compatible with other mods, such as the boarding school mod Dragon's Keep.

--- Update 1.6 ---
Aventus now always has his voice, during Innocence Lost quest and throughout adoption.

--- Update 1.5 ---
Re-uploaded with very minor changes - now requires Update.esm as master file (because I realized it probably should).

--- Update 1.4 ---
Aventus will retain his aspiration to become an assassin :)
Also, Aventus should now stop forgetting that he once lived in Windhelm, if player's house is Hjerim (for this part to work load this mod after Hearthfire Multiple Adoptions if you use it).

--- Update 1.3 ---
Dialogue to propose adoption might appear more readily now.

--- Update 1.2 ---
Now somewhat compatible with "Aventus Aretino Goes Home": If you use the mod "Aventus Aretino Goes Home", Aventus must have already gone back to the Orphanage before "Adopt Aventus Aretino" is installed. "Adopt Aventus Aretino" needs to be loaded after "Aventus Aretino Goes Home" in the mod loading order. Even so, adopting Aventus still sometimes works sometimes doesn't; try a few times entering and exiting Riften.

--- Update 1.1 ---
Now compatible with the Unofficial Skyrim Patch which returns Aventus Aretino to the orphanage after Innocence Lost. Allows for adopting Aventus Aretino even if he has gone back to the Orphanage; with no need to talk to Constance Michel beforehand.

Fixed bug where Aventus will stop saying anything if you cannot adopt any more children.
