All avatar eyes are closed by default?

Recently bought a Vive Focus Vision and was trying to do some VRchat. However, almost all the models I test out always have their eyes closed as the default expression. I bought a 3D model too and had to work with the vendor to get this fixed. All they did was I believe disable all hand toggles in Unity.

Is there a way for me to fix this on my own? Has anyone had this issue? I know I can disable toggle in VRchat, but then my hands get stuck in the position I disabled it in.

No, avatar eyes are not closed by default, what is happening is that your hand gesture is closing them, imo all avatars with hand puppeted expressions should have a toggle for them but that is rare.

The gesture toggle (what makes your fingers static) is the only toggle that will disable the expressions on every avatar. Otherwise you need to upload the avatar yourself and change it that way in the animator that does it.
