Released by Kadokawa and Degica, Add-on Vol.4 is an official asset pack designed specifically for the RPG Maker MV character generator. Unlike user-created assets that often suffer from inconsistent art styles, Vol.4 matches the default "SF_People" aesthetic perfectly.
The Core Focus: Children. This pack shifts the focus from grizzled warriors and stoic mages to the playful, energetic world of childhood. It provides the building blocks to create boys and girls ranging from toddler to pre-teen age groups.
RPG Maker MV - Add-on Vol.4- Kid Generator Parts is not just a "nice to have"—for certain genres (School sims, Horror, Flashback-heavy JRPGs), it is essential. It rescues developers from the "Small Adult" syndrome that plagues indie RPGs.
By investing an hour to master the installation and another hour experimenting with combinations, you will add an entire demographic to your game world. Your towns will finally have the laughter of children playing in the streets, your orphanages will evoke genuine emotion, and your prologues will pack a nostalgic punch.

3. Huge Variety With over 200 total combined parts, you can build an entire orphanage, a magic academy, or a flashback sequence without a single character looking like a clone.
