📋 About This Mod
I have stopped playing Fallout 3 a while ago. This means no more mods from me, for this game at least. So, this is probably the final version of this mod (same goes for all of my mods). Please note that due to this, a lot less, if any at all, support will be given regarding my FO3 mods. Sorry for all this, but I just simply stopped playing that game. This does mean I won\'t be around as much on the Nexus sites, but I will still continue modding Oblivion and possibly upload a mod I made for Dragon Age Origins. A great thanks to all those who downloaded my mods, hope you had fun with them. PLEASE ENDORSE IF YOU LIKE THIS MOD THERE IS NO README FILE IN THIS MOD BECAUSE IT IS JUST AN ESP. FILE. For people new to mods, the installation is below. Ever wanted to play as an irradiating Ghoul, raising fear in your enemies? Or maybe a total outlaw rebel... like a cool Raider? Now you can! This mod makes all of the Raider races (African American, Asian, Caucasian & Hispanic) playable, and also unlocks the Ghoul race. To install the mod, just put the esp. file in your Fallout 3 Data folder. All of the credit goes to Bethesda for making this fantastic game and allowing us to mod it :) If you have Broken Steel and you are having problems while playing as this race, then you should download this great mod by laffindude: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6240

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 583 endorsements and 16k downloads — clearly a lot of people wanted this.
- Does exactly what it says: makes Raider and Ghoul playable, no bloat.
- Lightweight and straightforward — perfect for roleplay runs where you want to be a wasteland baddie or a glowing one.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2009 — likely incompatible with modern Fallout 3 setups or the GOG version.
- Only adds the races — no custom hair, faces, or perks to make them feel unique.
For Fallout 3 roleplayers who want to play as a Raider or Ghoul from the start. If you're into post-apocalyptic character variety and don't mind an old mod, this is for you. Skip if you want modern polish or extra features — this is a bare-bones unlock.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is from 2009, check if you're using the Steam or GOG version of Fallout 3 — you may need to use a compatibility patch or the mod might not work at all.
- If you use a mod manager like FOMM or Vortex, install manually by dropping the files into your Data folder and activate the .esp in your load order.
- Make sure to start a new game after installing — the new races won't appear in existing saves.
