📋 About This Mod
To the folks who hate AA with all their passion and who can't wait to leave a hateful comments about AA: i made this mod for myself and my fellow AA fans who disliked the scared facial expressions during kisses. If you dislike the mod or disagree with me, then look away. No one's forcing you to use it, let the others enjoy it.

Main Info (Non-replacer aka main file):
Updated for Patch 7:
while patch 7 improves the kisses immensely, i still decided to tweak them a bit to make them look even more positive than before.
Bitey kiss stayed the same because it already looked perfect ;D
Here you can look at the comparison : modded vs original
Update: added a version of Moxi's [MOXI_Nightingales_Lord_Astarion] with same slight tweaks to patch7 expressions.
For now there's only a version of . Let me know if you'll need other versions tweaked
If required i can create a version that'll look just like patch 6 version used to be ;D
Non-replacer version (main file) is incompatible with any mods that edit
not compatible with Astarion Kiss Dialogue Fixed and will never be
Info about Patch 6 files:
I've also managed to fix Ascended Astarion's "bitey" kiss. Your character will no longer stare at him with a stinky face after receiving a kiss

Use my other mod if you want more neutral facial expressions during AA kisses.
Huge thanks to moxifer3 for guiding me to the right direction and figuring out the files that contained facial expressions that are used during kisses ;D
