shame you can't 'Force 3rd person view' in real life. Maybe it's normal to look very neutral when being hugged.
I'm not sure if this is realistic, because I've never seen the face of anyone I've hugged DURING the hug. This prevents them from looking ungrateful or awkward during the hug. The smile is subtle, but should be noticeable. ○ When giving a hug to a friend or spouse, the hugged NPC will now smile during the hug, then return to normal a couple of seconds later. This Legendary Edition includes all the changes from 1.20 to 1.24, the latest version of the mod, so all changes below apply to this update: ENJOY!
