Description
Requires Old World Blues!
This is a simple mod which makes the Lobotomite "race" available to the player through the character creation menu.
A container of Lobotomite outfits is also placed in Doc Mitchell's house, so that you can get the full look from the start of the game.
Notes/Issues
This is a cosmetic mod only and will not affect the hostility of Lobotomites at Big MT towards the player.
The presets, based off Lobotomite NPCs from the vanilla DLC, are a bit rubbish.
Installation
Unzip in your Vegas data directory ("C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\fallout new vegas\Data" on my system) and make sure PlayableLobotomites.esp is checked under "Data Files" in the launcher. Obviously Old World Blues should be enabled too.
