Description
This is a replacement mod that swaps out The Sims 3's facial idle animations with their The Sims Medieval equivalents.

This mod affects Sims aged teen and up and replaces 14 facial expressions in the game. Most of the remaining animations are identical across the two games and thus are left untouched and not pictured in the preview images. The animations usually play when the Sim is idle or walking, so facial expressions in other animations, like social interactions, aren't affected by this mod.

The new facial expressions are more subtle and natural-looking, with reduced clipping and less distortion of Sims' facial features. However, it's still likely that Sims with more heavily altered facial features will suffer from more distortion during animations.

By default, all facial expressions have a full blinking animation and a “noblink” pose. The TSM animations had some sort of blinking, but the Sim’s eyes didn’t actually close for some reason, so I took care of that for every facial expression this mod touches to bring them more in line with the few remaining TS3 ones.

Compatibility
  • This mod will conflict with other mods that edit most of the a_expression and a_expressions CLIP resources.
  • This mod is technically compatible with other mods that edit different game resources to change the frequency of, or entirely disable, the facial expressions, such as Esmeralda’s No making stupid faces when idle. Of course, if you used that mod, then you’d never see the facial expressions this one has to offer.
