📋 About This Mod
Description
-
[]New faces. All (?) 140 faces of base game, Tribunal, Bloodmoon remade.
[
]Meshes are untouched - textures are optimized for "Familiar Faces by Caleb (Updated)", install that for the best result.[]All hairstyles visually optimized at least a little bit, too.
[]This started as a addon for my other mod "Artistic Upscaled Textures" but it will also fit in many other modlists (I guess)
[]No 4K stuff, just "Vanilla +"
[]AI slop.
Mods used in the screenshots
- []Better Morrowind Crosshair
[]Analog Film Shaders for OpenMW (activate "Multi-Lut" and "Multi-Lut-interior" - lets the colors pop and stuff, just looks fantastic. My settings for both "Multi-Lut" and "Multi-Lut-interior: Lut 1: 7 / 45. 000, Lut 2: 29 / 40. 000).
[]Artistic Upscaled Textures
This was made for OpenMW, no idea if you can use the textures for the original game.

Weird Faces remakes all 140 face textures for the game using AI, blending them with 4x upscaled originals in Photoshop. This 'Vanilla+' mod adds more expressive, varied emotions to character faces. With 23 endorsements and 635 downloads, it's a niche cosmetic option for players seeking a fresh look.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Covers all 140 face textures—complete overhaul, not just a few
- Vanilla+ approach keeps the original feel while adding more emotion
- Small but active community (23 endorsements, 635 downloads)
⚠️ Cons
- Low endorsement count (23) suggests limited testing or niche appeal
- AI-generated textures can sometimes look inconsistent—worth checking screenshots
For players who want more expressive faces without straying too far from vanilla style. If you're tired of the same neutral expressions and want a bit of weirdness, this is for you. Skip if you prefer strictly lore-friendly or subtle changes—this mod amps up the emotion.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture mod, make sure to back up your original face textures before overwriting.
- Check the mod's screenshots to see if the AI-generated faces match your taste—some can be uncanny.
- If you use a mod manager, install this as a separate mod so you can easily disable it if you don't like the look.
