4/14/2023 REFACTORING
As of 4/14/2023, FAWD has been internally overhauled. This should make supporting the mod much easier going forward. There's a number of things users should be made aware of:
  • XML Extensions support has been added. Irritating file management is no longer needed to selectively toggle support.
  • Eye color changes have been removed. While a fun idea, I found they were ultimately convoluting the mod. You may get some one-time errors from loading saves with old FAWD eye defs, but everything else should be fine.
    • Dark sclera are still present and unaffected.
  • The supported race list has changed drastically. Many races have shifted over to Biotech or haven't made the jump to 1.4. Others, such as the demi fox, idearn, chaoura and littluna have been added.
  • Fixes for Aya race child addons have been moved to a separate mod along with some other fixes. Without these fixes, the Ayameduki races will not have their addons properly offset!
  • All patched races now use BasePawn due to the new way I add the FA comps. This has the byproduct of resolving various compatibility issues faced by certain races (such as Ayameduki's).
  • 4/16/2023: FAWD must now be loaded before all races instead of after to ensure compatibility. Let me know if this results in unexpected behavior.
Also, note that I don't intend to expand FAWD much more going forward. Facial Animation patches are a good introduction to some basic XML work, but they're tedious to maintain - especially without even having the benefit of truly unique art assets.

Someday in the future I may put together a proper configurable FA autopatcher, which would serve as a spiritual successor of sorts.

You're very welcome! I'm so glad I've made something useful to you.
The game has been badly ruined since the refactoring.
If you remove this mod, it works fine, but if the mod is enabled, when you call up a save, all the phones and UI will disappear.
Even if you try to start a new game, you won't get a faction on the map, and you won't get to the character creation window.
I might have had a conflict with some mod because I used it a lot, but the same symptom happened when I removed and used it as much as I could.
Please check the mode error.
Additionally, is there a link to get an older version of this mod?

Hey there, thanks for your report! Those are some very concerning problems that I haven't been able to recreate. Would you be willing to try loading FAWD before any of the patched races and see if the issue persists? A HugsLib log would be useful as well, if you could provide one.

I have indeed saved a copy of FAWD from before my refactoring. If the problem can't be resolved, I'll be sure to upload it.
Here my log.
I only used mods for FAWD.

HugsLib

HAR
MoHAR framework
Rakkle(unofficial)

I hope you for help fixed mod. :D

Thanks! Yep, all you should need to do to resolve the problems is load FAWD before any of the patched races (such as the rakkle). I've updated the mod's About.xml to reflect this requirement. I apologize for the trouble.

Also, since you're using the rakkle there, please note that I've removed the face color patch. This is because I've spoken with the author of the rakkle. Those changes will be incorporated into the race itself within a day or so.

Let me know if that helps!
