Siblings and parent conversations are auto generated by the game, there is no need to implement those.

That being said, sibling/parent conversations also override whatever conversation type both units have, so for example, say Male Corrin has a fast romantic option with Caeldori, but if you marry him to Subaki, that fast romantic conversation is now a non romantic parent/child conversation.

As for parent/child, it's just as easy as writing down the character ID of the desired parent in the child unit's character block where the "parent ID' byte is located.

Ah, that's rather interesting. So assigning parents through custom DLC is possible? I imagine it wouldn't for say, giving Lissa the ability to parent Odin, correct? But we could have Lissa parent Owain by specifying that in Owain's data?

The answer is probably no, but has anyone messed around with importing custom models for Fates? Like making custom hair meshes in a 3D modeling program and converting them to a useable format in Fates?

I did some research into porting Awakening models over to Fates a little while back - I figured out the general process for creating a model for use with Fates.

You'll need access to the dev tools and a program like 3DS Max or Maya. The dev tools have a plugin for those programs that let you export to .cmdl/.ctex. Once you've exported to those formats, you can build .bch files using NW4C_h3dbincvtr.exe. Put your models in one file and textures in another and you should be good to go.

I never tried building anything from scratch, so I can't tell you how well that will turn out. I was able to get models to show up in game using that general process though.

Wait, that did work? I thought you said it wasn't possible at the time?

I could get the Awakening model to show up, but I couldn't figure out how to port it without losing texture mapping and animation rigging. You might be able to use the process for importing custom models, but editing character models probably won't work since Ohana has issues exporting the models with everything intact.

That's really helpful! Thank you! I already have the dev tools, so I'll try something out and post the results.

So is it possible?
Well, you could repoint their hair model and texture pointers to a different character's hair model and texture. Sakura would probably work. After that, specify the appropriate hair color in each AID, since the hair color listed there will recolor the hair appropriately.
