Closed Mouths for Orcs

This subtle and hopefully not too controversial mod tweaks facial tri's to allow Orsimer the ability to smack their lips together. That's all. I'm not sure if this has been done before but it's been bugging me for years so I made this over a couple of evenings.

Please be aware that you may experience slight clipping, specifically on beards and some non-vanilla sliders. I've tried my best to get rid of issues but due to the heavy-handed nature of FaceGen mods, you may run into conflicts depending on your mod order but it's nothing that isn't easily fixed with facial sculpting. Lots more info on the topic below. Also, to be honest, I'm well out of my usual space of knowledge with this mod so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

REQUIREMENTS

None but RaceMenu is highly recommended.

COMPATIBILITY

Compatibility with this mod is... tricky. When skimming through the following, note that "conflict" does not mean unplayable. All conflict with this mod results in models clipping which may result in visuals that can be distracting. It really depends on your setup. If by the end you still have doubts, test the mod in your game and see how you feel. It can be installed and uninstalled whenever.

This mod is compatible with all mods that replace mouth textures and meshes. Therefore, the following mods will not conflict with this mod:

• [] FA ORCODONTIST - Orsimer Mouth and Teeth Fix (Facegen files are included)

  [] A dentist for Orsimers - HD teeth retexture

  [] Immersive Mouth and Teeth for Orcs

  Expression tweaking mods do conflict but can be patched. This mod includes patches for the following expression tweaking mods:

  • [] Expressive Facial Animation -Male Edition-

    [] Expressive Facial Animation -Female Edition-

    Mods that touch specific race .tri files will conflict with this mod, be overwritten and require patching. Additionally, mods that add morphs to RaceMenu that specifically touch Orc faces can causing clipping on beards and scars. This type of clipping will only affect the player, not NPCs, and can be fixed within RaceMenu using its sculpt menu but obviously, that requires a bit of effort. Support for the following popular mods is explained below:

    • [] Expressive Facegen Morphs - Patch included.

      [] High Poly Head - Patch for the vanilla head is included. See FAQ for more info.

      [] RaceMenu - No support for now as I'm awaiting a response.

      Finally, this mod does not affect NPCs immediately. Faces need to be regenerated before the changes can be seen. This also means that mods that replace characters' faces (such as Bijin NPCs) will need to be regenerated. For those who don't mind the vanilla look, I have included vanilla FaceGen data in the
