📋 About This Mod
Tav and others now spend less time chewing on their lips and pulling faces when cycling through animations in neutral conversations. The mod does not affect any emotional dialogues
Example on bt4 here
Lip chewing is not gone completely since all neutral expressions have some amounts of it, but you'll see it less often.
Affects all races except Dragonborn
V1 removes the worst offenders where Tav grimaces for no reason, leaves some in
V2 removes most of lip chewing and pouting in neutral dialogue
Installation
Install with BG3 Mod Manager
How to uninstall:
It's an override, so you will need to delete the mod from your Mods folder to restore the original animations
