INSTALLATION:
1) Download Mannequin Race Type6 (Version 2. 4) under the OLD FILES section.
Copy "meshes" and "textures" folders from Mannequin Races into your "Data" folder or install with a mod manager. Make sure to DELETE or DISABLE the "Mannequin Rce.esp" as it is not needed (and won't work in FO3 anyway.)
2) Download Megaton Hairs - Vegas Edition
Copy "meshes" and "textures" folders from Megaton Hairs into your "Data" folder or install with a mod manager. Make sure to DELETE or DISABLE "zzjayHairsFNV.esp" as it is not needed.
3) Download this mod. Drop "Mannequin Rce FO3.esp" into "Data" folder or install using a mod manager.
4) Remember to endorse both Mannequin Races & Megaton Hairs by zzjay!
IMPORTANT:
When using a custom race, it is recommended that you DO NOT start a new game as a custom race, but instead wait until the Vault 101 exit to change to your custom race. You will need to install Tranquility Lane - Custom Race Workaround by moirai to avoid any further issues caused by custom races, and if you have the DLC Broken Steel, you will need to install Custom Race Endings Broken Steel Override by laffindude.This is a port of zzjay's Mannequin Races v2.4 from Fallout New Vegas to Fallout 3, fixing the pink/bald dad issue and other errors.

⚠️ Cons
