📋 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.

  • 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).

💡 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.
