📋 About This Mod
Adds a total of 5136 Expressions and 23 Expression Categories to photo mode.
A total of 257 base expressions, with each expression having 20 eye direction/eyelid variants.
All eye variants, base expression names and base expression looks can be seen on the media page.
Some of these expressions were pulled directly from in-game cinematics, and as such will fit and work best on the head and skeleton base, for which they were created. However, they should be able to be pulled without major issues on ALL HEADS INCLUDING DRAGONBORN. If you notice major issues, you can reach out to me directly in the ZillionZ of Expressions section of my server, Pose Posse. Personal requests for future expression additions can also be made here!
This mod is compatible with the Universal Pose Patcher and has been added to both the Faerun Fashionistas Mega Pose Pack Patch and the Compatibility Patch. This mod can be loaded above a patch along with other supported expression mods to be seen in photo mode.
I recommend QSAT if you want to have multiple expression packs not included in a patch, simultaneously in your load order. Open QSAT and click 'update animations'. All my expressions can be found in search bar of QSAT using the tag ZZEE. Full expression categories, and QSAT names, can be viewed here (making a copy for your personal use and filtering expressions names is highly recommended).
Lighty Lights latest update also includes a feature which will allow you to adjust eye positions and I highly recommend it for even more finetuning of poses and expressions.
These expressions are best fitted for humanoid heads, but can be pulled and used for dragonborn heads and one set of eye variants now available on Illithid as well. However since they were not refitted for the dragonborn skeleton, some expressions may not work fully as intended. I will be working on a better long term solution for this and updates will be posted regularly in the server.
The naming convention of these expressions in both Photomode and QSAT is, expression name, eye position, eyelid position. Example, Photomode: BlowingBubbles UpRightLidded or QSAT: ZZEE_BlowingBubbles_UpRightLidded
Base Expressions represent the expression as it was created from e
Adds 5,136 expressions across 23 categories to photo mode, with eye and lid variants for all Humanoids, Dragonborn, and one eye set for Illithids. A massive cosmetic expansion for players who love detailed character photography.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons

- Covers all Humanoids and Dragonborn, so your main character is fully supported.
- Community-tested with 183 endorsements and 24k downloads—people are using it.
⚠️ Cons
- Illithid support is limited to just one eye variant set—if you play as one, you're missing most of the content.
- Last updated June 2026—if the game patches photo mode, this might break without warning.
For Baldur's Gate 3 players who live in photo mode and want endless expression options for their characters. Perfect for screenshot artists and roleplayers who need specific emotions. Skip if you rarely use photo mode or play mostly as Illithid—you'll get little out of it.
