📋 About This Mod
Main Info:
Yet another mod that changes character's facial expressions
this time there's 2 main versions:
- []for Tav
This version changed the first 3 expressions to , check the link below if you want to see how facial expressions i've changes looked like
- []for durge
Durge had quite a few different facial expressions that looked like "evil smiles", so here's what i changed:
Happy D -> thinking A
happy E -> thinking Z
neutral E -> angry B
angry E -> thinking D
For now both versions change the facial expressions for non-beefy male/female elves/half-elves/tieflings/humans/drow. let me know if you'll need a version for another race or if it causes any issues.

If you want any other facial expressions to be changed or if you want to see how each facial expression looks like to pick the exact one you need for your mods, check out this link -> BG3 Facial Expressions List (M head)
and here's a version with a fem head -> BG3 Facial Expression List (Fem head)
i've documented all (except for dead and sleeping) facial expressions that one of the faces uses. Animations should be pretty similar for all heads, so this could be useful.
