In case anyone wants to know how to *fix* the problem rather than just work around it, it's not quite as simple as downloading this workaround, but it's pretty simple nonetheless. (I just did it a minute ago).
1. Open the GECK. 2. Load the .esp with the custom race. 3. Find the custom race you want to play as (under Actor Data). Double click it. 4. Under the "General Data" tab find the "younger race" category. Just remember what that is. Close the custom race. (Note: If it says "Form blah blah has changed save changes, click "no" though it probably makes no difference.) 5. Open the corresponding younger race. Set "Older Race" (also under the "General Data" tab) to your preferred custom race. 6. Close and Save. 7. Profit.
The drawback to this is that you have to do this for each custom race race you want to play as. So if have a mod that adds the option to play as a ghoul or as a cyborg, and you want to do play through as each, you'll have to make the change for ghoul playthrough and then again for your cyborg playthrough. (If you plan to do both at the same time via Mod Organizer, you'll have to install the mod twice under different names.) You'll also have to redo this if the mod updates--unlikey at this point.
A more thorough fix would be to create a unique child race for your custom race or for each race in your esp. This shouldn't be especially difficult if you don't mind your child-PC looking like a member of a vanilla child race. Just copy the relevant child race. Instructions on custom races can be found all over the internet so I'll let you figure that out.
Note: I don't mean to bag on this mod. I just want to leave some instructions here for those who would prefer a more immersive tranquility lane experience and are willing to do a little GECK-ing for it.
I have a bug, whenever I attempt to enter this quest, the screen flashes, but then instead of loading the lane, it just says "stand by, please wait" on the screen, can anyone help me?
