FYI, your cover image is still showing "1.4" compatibility, which threw me off.

LETS GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Lol 1.7 woooo!

THANK DUDE!!! WOOOOO!!!!

Updated with the 1.6 tag.

It's a retexture so it already worked fine but now it won't whine at you about it.

the mod does not work with eye color, gen "Gusar" does not have red eyes, or other genes also do not have gray or white color, a mod for additional colors will not fix this problem.

I'm saw Reel's facial done here 1.6!

It would be nice for this to be updated to 1.6.

Working great for me as of 7/7/25 on 1/6 branch.

I need this for 1.6 bro

@JoeOwnage It needs an update. I tried it and the head shape is broken. it just shows the original one.

its just a retexture it probably doesn't even need to be updated

You think maybe the description should be updated? Its still proudly saying its functional to version 1.3 in a big graphic.

done this update facial!

The following races/xenotypes from Vanilla Expanded series has no retextures from this mod and will look like normal heads:
- Genie ("Elongated head" gene)
- Neanderthal ("Heavy Jaw" gene)
- Waster/Fungoid/Ekkimian ("Gaunt head" gene)
- Yttakin/Lycan ("Furskin" gene)
- Insector ("Insect skin" gene)
- All Phytokins ("Barkskin" gene)
- Saurid ("Scaleskin" gene)
- Bruxa ("Sanguine head" gene)

pls update 1.6?

Does this work with xenotypes and also mods that add new xenotypes like alpha genes for instance?

no hands and feels awww man.

If the automatons mod is activated at the same time as this mod their head gets removed for some reason.

is it compatible with "Oops all BUGPARTS 2"?

Most of the male eyes are aligned the same as the female eyes, causing them to be drawn too deep into the head when facing east or west and making them look inbred.

"CE comp" you joke but i have seen the most random things not be. there was a mod that just added a cold torch to the game and it broke CE

I have it near the end of the modlist but whenever female are sleeping their face is blank

roblox faces

Is there a way to remove those smirks they have? Maybe just have the eyes cause those mouths look weird

For those asking about Red and Grey eye genes: install '[BT] EyeGenes2Lite' and load it after this mod to fix the issue.

Note that if you do this mid-save your baseline eyes will have random eye-colours; so you'll need to adjust them to black using the original NL Facial Animation afterward. On fresh saves all baseline eyes display correctly as black.

@RandomEdits Sounds like you have "Children, School And Learning " mod installed. If u have, disable it cause it WILL cause errors, sadly but it also conflicts with Biotech itself anyway.... so

I feel like it removes the point of the mod. The faces are simply too small to actually notice the faces unless you zoom really close

Any chance this could be made to work with the Pawn Editor mod?

Question, is anyone having an issue with baby and children heads being replaced by adult heads?

Alright, while not completely wrong, the main issue seems to be an incompatibility between this mod, and the experimental facial animation features. Simply disable that mod, and this one works fine.

After working through my modlist, it seems that this mod unfortunately results in an misalignment of eyes and mouths a good percentage of the time, which is especially visible when viewing a pawn from the side. They float in the air.

i have a question with big and small combatabilaty when i use the no Facial animatons gene the person still has a Facial animations

is there any way to show masks and hats? for some reason even when my pawns wear one, it does not appear

@Neocoustic though unfortunately it's a problem with the facial animations mod itself

@Neocoustic I'm having the same problem

i agree with @Kalmorph

The following races/xenotypes from Vanilla Expanded series needs some working:
- Genie ("Elongated head" gene)
- Neanderthal ("Heavy Jaw" gene)
- Waster/Fungoid/Ekkimian ("Gaunt head" gene)
- Yttakin/Lycan ("Furskin" gene)
- Insector ("Insect skin" gene)
- All Phytokins ("Barkskin" gene)
- Saurid ("Scaleskin" gene)
- Bruxa ("Sanguine head" gene)

This seems to bot include anything relating to Gaunt Heads

i fixed it just fine w/ pawn adjuster

@Memmo theres an (outdated but still works) mod called No Narrow Heads which removes narrow heads

could you fix the issue relating to eyes? i just got a blind healer and when he walks sideways, you can still see the normal eyes underneath the blind ones

Is there a way to display the facial textures of pawns such as Androids from the mod "Vanilla Races Expanded - Android" ? Currently this mod seems to overwrite them.

remove [NL] Facial Animation - Experimentals from active mods. It fixed most problems for me including the beard not aligning

Potential workaround for misaligned beards: Disable Facial Animation and this mod, use Character Editor to change your pawn's face shape to AverageNormal (male) or AverageNormal (female) for respective pawns. Re-enable Facial Animation and this mod, and the beard should be better aligned.

The misaligned beard seems to come from the fact that, underneath these facial animation mods, the pawn might actually have vanilla narrow face which is used to draw the beard, rather than the average-looking headshape from facial animation. With facial animation and this mod enabled, trying to change headshape through character editor doesn't actually change the BASE headshape, only what it appears to be drawn as.

I'm having a problem, and I can't tell if it's this, the [NL] Facial Animation mod, or either of those mods' incompatibility with Biotech and certain gene/xenotype mods. Some of the xenotypes which are supposed to have different facial features, like neanderthals' jaws and brows, or that one slug race's distinct heads, are instead showing "regular" human heads. I saw that [NL]FA had the option to disable the retextures for certain xenos, so I disabled it on the problem xenos, then for some reason the pawn creation menu was rendering the torsos on top of the heads.

This mod currently does not work, some of the eyes from normal facial animations are not properly converted.

Does this face mod hide eyes on characters missing them.
