More puppies, please!

Okay, this likely has been asked before but since I suck at using the search feature...

How do you mod in animals (and other things...) to have more childern? Is it really just as simple as changing the [CHILD] tag from 1 to however many babies you want?

The [CHILD] tag doesn't determine the number of offspring, but rather the age at which that creature is considered an adult. What you are looking for is the [LITTERSIZE:1:1] tag. This determines the minimum and maximum number of offspring that can be produced. The first number sets the minimum number of offspring in each litter, while the second number determines the maximum number of offspring that can be in a litter. So if you want an animal to produce more offspring, increase the maximum (and maybe the minimum as well) to a higher value.

Also some creatures have the [MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE] tag which makes births with multiple offspring less common. You will probably want to remove this from any creature you want producing more offspring.

BABY:1 sets the duration of babyhood to one year.
CHILD:1 sets the duration of childhood to one year.
If you have both, it takes two years from birth to become a breeding-capable adult.
