First I have to say that I am not sure where to post this so any mods can move this if they see fit.

If the player's race and Dad's race are not the same after leaving Tranquility Lane and Vault 112 do the following:

click on Dad and type this in the console commands: matchrace player

After typing that command Dad and the player will look the same race.

It took me lots of failed searches before I took a look at the script for entering Vault 101 then trying this out.

....oooooooooookkkkkkkkkkkk

Ok...try pulling out the plug and putting it back in. That should solve your problem

You know, I can fix most things by giving it a good, healthy whack. If it's still broken, then it was a piece of crap to begin with.
