Guide to Custom Races

Short Description A guide to custom race creation and to avoiding the Tranquility Lane glitch.

Ever wondered if it is possible to use that cool body replacer only with your own player character so he or she stands out of the crowd of cookie-cutter non-player characters? But you read a lot of issues on the forums concerning custom races and various glitches?

Don't be discouraged! This guide is a product of my own experiments with custom races, and includes a few lessons that I learned the hard way. It is written in a 'for dummies' style so even if you have very little prior experience with GECK or FO3Edit, the guide will literally hold your hand and point you in the right direction.

(Oh, I'm starting to sound like the author of the latest 'how to get rich and successful' bestseller.)

The guide is in PDF format, with screenshots added to assist beginners.

Due to a few nude body meshes that I used for the embedded screenshots I will tag this file as 'adult only'.

Comments, corrections and other helpful remarks are always welcome in the upload comments thread.

New version (Nov 22, 2010): - added section about using custom cosmetic packages with custom races (including importing customized chargen presets from those cosmetic packages); - added section about head/body color mismatch bug;

To do list: - Discussion about the Broken Steel related issues (how to avoid it, what causes it, etc.);
