Description
Requires Honest Hearts!
This is a simple mod which makes the three tribal races (Sorrows, Dead Horses, and White Legs) available to the player through the character creation menu.
Also included are "Sorrows Alternate" and "Dead Horses Alternate" races which add facial tattoos to the females; these are found only on males in the vanilla races. Modified female face textures are courtesy of my good friend Ghanima.
A container of tribal outfits is also placed in Doc Mitchell's house, so that you can get the full tribal look from the start of the game.
Notes/Issues
This is a cosmetic mod only. Choosing the White Legs race won't affect their hostility towards you in Zion.
Installation
Unzip in your Vegas data directory ("C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\fallout new vegas\Data" on my system) and make sure PlayableHHTribals.esp is checked under "Data Files" in the launcher. Obviously Honest Hearts should be enabled too.
