📋 About This Mod

A part of the July 2025 BG3 Modathon





About the Mod

This mod adds expressions to photo mode with multiple choices for eye directions. Not all eye directions are shown on the mod page.

NOTE: I cannot account for how these expressions will look on modded heads in general, but overall they should be alright but will look slightly better on vanilla heads. I also can't promise that beards will look 100% okay but I've tried to minimise any issues as best I can.

Compatability

This mod uses HUM_M_Head_A_Base for expressions and other mods using this will most likely not be compatible unless you use the Compatibility Pose Patch or QSAT.

It is otherwise compatible with photo mode poses since this mod doesn't modify the same file.

How To Install

1.  Place the .pak file in AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods

2. Open BG3 Mod Manager and refresh the page

3. Drag the mod from the right side to the left

4. Click 'save load order to file'
