Lightweight Headtracking And Emotions

The original technical idea of using the "IsNPC" attribute belongs to Maegfaer. All credits goes to him.

SKSE free and compatible with everything (except other Headtracking mods)

I know there are at least two headtracking mods for Skyrim.
However... most of the times I don't need headtracking (especially in combat) and I don't use SKSE, so I decided to build my own implementation from the scratch.

The headtracking in this mod is enabled on demand when you Unequip some armor/clothing (for example, a helmet).
- Move to switch between targets.
- Stay in place to keep the current target.
- Draw your weapon or run far away from the latest target to stop Headtracking.

This mod WILL work with dead characters (yes, it's by design).

Looking at some characters will cause emotions (you character will change his/her facial expression)

Looking at friend will make Dragonborn happy. Looking at enemy will make dragonborn angry. Dead enemies killed by the player will cause anger, Dead enemies killed by other NPCs will cause disgust.

The mod is using the complex "mood" concept to make expressions fit the environment. The mood serves to "accumulate" your emotions. The single emotions will be shown ONLY if they are stronger than your current mood.

For example, if you meet your spouse in a peaceful environment, your character will have a Happy face. But if you seen several dead friends nearby you will have a Sad face, because your overall mood is Sad.

The mood is reset each time you stop the Headtracking (by drawing your weapon).
