About this mod:

If you're missing customizable facial animations, or just getting proper head tracking (eye tracking) from slow-motion VATS cameras, this mod sounds like it might be interesting.

It adds more RPG elements to the game by enabling head tracking and allowing you to choose your character from a variety of facial animations. In the original VATS, head tracking (eye tracking) was not available and the player character just looked "somewhere". Additionally, head tracking now works with non-FaceGen standard characters (in other words, non-humans) such as super mutants, robots, feral ghouls, bloat flies, etc. (in the original, head tracking only worked with humans).

The mod supports multiple animations, each appearing in different situations based on a multi-level system.

• "Basic level" (if not in the killing move and not too close; default expression: aim, focus)
• Killing moves (amusing, happy faces might just fit in)
• Too Close (if you are very close to the target, you can choose a separate animation; perhaps nervous because it is a "dangerous move")
• Gender (different expressions of female and male goals; likes to be flirtatious with girls and smug with men; available at all levels)

Available facial animations:

0: Anger/Hate

1.Happy/Interesting

2.Psychological/sinister smile

• Aim/Focus
• frivolous

5.Confusion/Confusion

6.disgust

• Nervous
• Surprise/"Think about it"
• Friendliness and confidence
• Complacent/condescending
• Professionals
