I replaced ONE of the two base game cribs (the Rock-a-bye) with its invisible counterpart that has a swaddled newborn mesh attached to it. I couldn't do anything with the other one, it throws a bone assignment error. this works exactly like any other invisible crib mod - place the invisible Rock-a-bye bassinet before the birth and the newborn will appear in it. then you can move it around. I've changed the footprint so you can place the baby in CC or in-game cribs. most other objects don't work fine because of their own footprints (like these deco cribs if they have Pathing checked - it should be UNchecked. it's a minor fix so I won't go reuploading other creators' meshes for them).

there are two options, like in my original infant post, full-mummy and free-arms. below is another pic of the free-arms version. YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE. textures are mesh-specific. they are separated into two different folders.

there are also two options for default-boy and default-girl textures; one is just slightly different shades of white, the other is furs. YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE. for some idiotic reason I can't replace the bump map for these. I've replaced the three files referenced by the meshes and nada. but it isn't that noticeable.

plus the Growing Together swatches and the Nifty Knitting swatches (thank you @simverses for the newborn defaults, especially for the image instances, which would be extremely difficult to find otherwise). the NK swatches roughly (very roughly) correspond to the colors of wool they need and have custom thumbnails. my attempt at creating custom thumbnails for GT swatches failed miserably, you'll have to choose blindly. but here are two options out of 25:

I am ECSTATIC about finally figuring out The Metal Glint. specular is now my friend. the helmets are metal! the chainmail is metal! no rubbery nonsense *kicks the old Egyptian sword under the bed*

full-body armor, 2 options. found in Costumes

top-only armor, 2 options (should work with most bottoms)*. found in Sweaters

two… err… heaumes? in Hats, obviously.

a cloak accessory. found in Bracelets. very simple, and the elbows clip right through when moving actively, but I consider it a nice addition anyway. yes, this is a child.

*to make it work safely as a top-only option while not having badly pixellated coats of arms I had to shorten the mapping for the bottom part of the tunic SIGNIFICANTLY. if you want to have a trim on it or whatever, it can be tricky. patterns are also a bit tricky. it is what it is. same goes for the cloak.

the "color swatches only" folder contains the files with 36 swatches, solid colors (from my beloved historian palette) and combinations of those.

the "90 swatches" folder contains the files that also include swatches with some religious orders and some coats of arms. I am sorry if I got something wrong (and also pretty sure that I did). 90 swatches in total, sorry again, I'm not making a preview of those.

psd's can be found in the folder. go crazy.
