Exaggerated Facial Expressions

Featured in a gosh darn Al Chestbreach video LFG

-Description-

This is a comedy mod, and isn't meant to be taken too seriously, or lore-friendly, or anything.

New Vegas contains its facial expressions in TRI files which are applied to the head model.

This mod uses Outfit Studio to increase the strength of the TRI file facial expressions to be decently exaggerated.

Most notable expressions have been increased to the point where they are (debatably) funny, without strengthening them so far that NPCs look like eldritch monsters and you have no idea what's going on.

This mod works on males and females, children and the elderly, and ghouls, too.

This mod should be compatible with everything, except for possibly Fallout Character Overhaul, but I'm not sure.

This mod contains no meshes or textures, and ONLY adds the edited TRI files.

Hope you have fun!

This is my first upload on Nexus, but I've uploaded many more on Bethesda.net over the past few years. Several of those mods will likely be ported to Nexus as well.

Check out my profile to see previews of my other projects. I'm working on some pretty exciting stuff, especially if you're a Morrowind fan.

I learned how TRI files worked a few days ago, and I thought this would be a fun project. Altogether it probably only took me an hour to make, even though I created this mod over a course of about 8 hours. I'm a pretty slow worker, I guess.

-Creation Process- (you can skip this if you're not a modder or are not interested)

My goal from the beginning was to edit the "strength" of the shape keys in the TRI files.

My first thought was to do this manually in blender with the TRI importer/exporter, editing the shape keys by hand. I quickly realized that doing this would take a VERY long time, and probably wouldn't look good.

I then tried to see if there was a way to increase the strength automatically in blender, but the shape key options are very limited, and no such feature existed. Blender, sadly, proved to be a dead end.

Outfit Studio was my second option. I imported the TRI files, and fortunately, if you click the little pencil icon on the shape keys, there was a little "+" button to increase the strength of the slider data. Finally!

Unfortunately, the little "+" button only increases the strength by 1% at a time.

For a few minutes, I just pressed the "+" button manually about a hundred times, but once again, this was too slow. I had eight TRI files to edit, each with at least a dozen shape keys to edit, so that would round out to at least 9,600 manual clicks. :(

AutoClicker was the hero of this mod. I've never used it be
