Expressive Expressions F1.15
Expressive Expressions is a near-complete overhaul of the facial expression morphs.
Many of the major morphs such as smile, frown, and many others are fully customized by hand. Every other morph has been examined one by one, and each of them has been adjusted to appear more natural than what the vanilla game offers.
This mod is considered an enhancement overhaul rather than a ground-up overhaul as the new morphs are still based on vanilla, and as such won't look drastically different.
Take a look at the preview images and GIF comparisons to see how it compares with the vanilla expressions.
I am not very 'artistically gifted' so if you have any suggestions on how to improve any of the morphs further, feel free to comment and let me know. Note that in case you are judging the mod just from just the previews alone, the discussion is not going to be long at all.
Recommended Mods:
-Player Comments and Head Tracking - While it is not a requirement, it is highly recommended. You will see your player character emote when looking at NPCs and it works great together with EE.
Installation:
Just install the FOMOD with your mod manager. Includes compatibility files for HiPoly Faces REDUX and Realistic Facial Proportions (for Pearly Whites).
Compatibility:
-This mod is not compatible with other mods that modify the BaseFemaleHead.tri and the BaseMaleHead.tri files, so basically anything that changes the facial expressions.
-The 'Pearly Whites' teeth meshes are not compatible with other mods that modify teeth meshes. However, there is an option to use just the textures from Pearly Whites in the FOMOD, but without the mesh edits, it most probably won't look as good.
-The textures included in both male and female versions of the mod are identical. So, you can install them from both, or either FOMODs, the results will be the same.
Known Issues:
None at this time. Note; the eyelash clipping visible on some of the screenshots has already been corrected in the release version.
If you see any issues, report them to me. Enjoy!
Tools:
-Blender
-Outfit Studio
