Expressions

Enables you to select your eye, eyebrows and mouth expressions individually of each other, letting you customise your expression to fit exactly what you want.

You can edit your expression at any time using the editor with the chat command .exsel, which will allow you to view and tweak your changes in real time (without requiring a charsel).

Expressions can also be edited with the chat command /expressions [category] [name], for example /expressions eyebrows caring.
Because of this chat command, it is possible to make a macro to quickly change between your custom preset expressions.

This mod will gradually have more custom expression options as it updates.

 

Custom Expressions:

  • Eyelashes (Eyes)
  • Judgemental (Eyes)

 

Devlog:

  • 30/10/2025 - v.1.0.0 - Initial release + eyelashes
  • 30/10/2025 - v.1.1.0 - Bugfixes
  • 23/11/2025 - v.1.2.0 - Now compatible with playermodellib, and expressions properly save and display between sessions
  • 20/04/2026 - v. 1.4.0 - Added Racial Equality support and a new Judgemental eyes look

  • 23/04/2026 - v. 1.4.2 - Add eyelashes and judgemental eyes to humans

 

Future Ideas:

  • A fourth "decal" selector with cosmetic options like scars, freckles, beauty marks, etc.
  • The option to create custom "face-paints" with an ingame editor, to paint whatever you want onto your face texture
  • More custom 3D options for all expressions
