I know this is a bit old, but if you are using this guys patch: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2280607572

The guy uploaded a version that wasn't unzipped, so the game can't read any of his patch files. If you want to fix it without following a tedious guide or manually editing yourself you can just unpack his zip.

To do this navigate to Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\294100\2280607572\Patches

Unzip "Patches.7z" in that folder. Now the mod will actually apply patches for facial animations to work with Humanoid Aliens (or at least the ones he patched). Let me know if this helps.

PS: I spent the last 4 hours ripping my hair out trying to figure out why his mod wasn't working, and he conveniently turned off discussion/comments. Daemon976 can go jump off a cliff.
