📋 About This Mod
This is a resource as well as a standalone fix for a few issues regarding the heads in Fallout 3. I\'ve corrected some triangulation issues, and issues with the eye modifiers (blinking, squinting, etc). This was built largely upon noticing these things while doing prepwork for the Eyelashes for Fallout 3 mod. I strongly encourage other modders to use this resource when setting up custom races, especially those who will want eyelashes for those races; but won\'t be a requirement.
