🎭 Two animation options
This module provides two facial animation styles, **Please be sure to only choose one version to install**:
- **Standard Edition**: Keep the original facial expressions and animations of the game without any changes.
- **Stiff version**: Reduces the range of facial expressions (such as smiling, raising eyebrows, etc.), suitable for players who prefer more restrained expressions.
💡 **Background knowledge**: The game fixed the issue of female characters having too exaggerated expressions in cutscenes in the update on March 8, 2023. But some players still prefer "stiff" animations with smaller expression ranges.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
