This project is aimed to replace/add NPC's attire with much more modern and high quality clothing. It goes without saying but vanilla Fallout 3 clothing is drab and mundane. I grew tired of looking at the same handful of armors every playthrough so I took my collection of assets and got to work. It's as Crow says, "If the clothes make the man, then here are the means to re-make yourself."

Updates Log:

- Fixed two meshes for the 'Knit & Skirt' outfits, the leggings texture file pathing wasn't set up properly. Sorry about that.

- Three new outfits and two accessories have been added to the list. I also removed the original Road Warrior Outfit and swapped it for Dragbody's 'Armored Leather Jacket', which is infinitely better in every way possible. Gloves that were missing have been added for various outfits such as 'Merc Operative'.

-  Three more NPCs have been given unique clothing including Flak, a couple other NPCs have had their outfits swapped around but nothing much. (See Pictures)

- The attire can be purchased from various merchants instead of just having everything given to Bannon. A list of each merchant is listed further below with what they specifically sell.

- As of right now I do NOT plan on updating this mod with any more NPCs or unique attire. The main file is nearly at 300 MB as it is and anymore will become too much. Of course you may see a hotfix but nothing major planned for the future.

- Fixed a small graphical error with the male expedition outfit mesh.

- Added one more NPC to receive alternate clothing.

- General fixes/tweaks to the esp.

- Six more NPCs have been given new outfits, there's pictures posted of all the additional characters.

- Three new outfits and a beanie hat have been added along with female variations for the 'Modern Man' & 'Modern Sheriff' clothes. Pictures are posted for a majority of the new attire.

- The 'merc repair list' has been edited to
