🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure to extract the files into your Fallout 3 Data folder, then activate the .esp in your mod manager or launcher.
If you're using FOSE or other mods, load order usually doesn't matter for cosmetic mods like this, but keep it near the bottom just in case.
Check the mod's comments section on Nexus for user screenshots—since the description lacks images, that's your best bet to see the beards in action.
