📋 About This Mod
For Frosty. (UPDATE: Also added a .daimod version for those that don't use Frosty)
Made this because I didn't like how different the face on my inquisitor looked while exploring compared to the character creator/inventory screen.
Compatibility
The mod alters only one file, SetEmotion_ExploreGeneric_Blend. Any mod that doesn't alter it should work with this mod.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,374 endorsements and over 25k downloads.
- Simple, focused fix for a common annoyance—no more permanent frown while exploring.
- Lightweight and doesn't touch cutscenes, so your story moments stay intact.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects idle/exploring expressions—if you wanted cutscene changes, this isn't it.
- Last updated in 2021, so it may not be compatible with the latest game patches (though likely still works).
For Dragon Age: Inquisition players who are tired of their Inquisitor looking grumpy during exploration and want a more neutral expression. Skip if you're looking for broader animation overhauls or cutscene changes—this is purely a cosmetic tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple mod, just drop the files into your Dragon Age: Inquisition mod folder (usually Documents/BioWare/Dragon Age Inquisition/Mods).
- Use the Frosty Mod Manager if you're on the latest version—it's the standard tool for DA:I mods and will help manage load order.
- If you're using other mods that affect facial expressions, test this one last to ensure it doesn't conflict.
