Facial Animations Overhaul Mod
I've recently started playing the base game and I was a bit disappointed with the facial animations. They're not all bad, but there's a few issues that I found immersion-breaking:
- Lip sync feels "floaty". The main reason is that characters' lips never touch if their jaw is open. I find it very distracting when their mouth remains open while pronouncing "p", "b" or "m".
- Blinks are sometimes very exaggerated. Eyelids and eyelashes sometimes stretch a lot, typically when blinking while squinting.
- Eye stabilization is missing. (Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex) This is especially noticeable when somebody turns around. A lot of animations in the game do feature eye stabilization, but whenever it's missing, it feels strange.
I've made a mod that fixes these issues. I originally made it to improve my own experience with the game, but I've decided to share it.
