Main Info:
Major update: Now there's a version that changes only the kiss-related expressions without replacing any original animation files, so no more smiling in inappropriate times, yay!
Feel free to remove any previous files (unless you want to play as a smiley pcycho)
New main file should work on all heads and races
Download either [FixAAKissExpression_All_Happy] or [MOXI_Nightingales_Lord_Astarion_standard_v2]
Check the footage to see how the edited kiss looks like
New version is incompatible with any mods that edit [Astarion_InParty2_Nested_PartneredWithAstarion.lsf]
let me know if you'll encounter any issues
Use my other mod if you want more neutral facial expressions during AA kisses.
Huge thanks to moxifer3 for guiding me to the right direction and figuring out the files that contained facial expressions that are used during kisses ;D

Info for replacers (optional files):
So, I figured out which facial expressions were used during AA kisses and swapped all scared, sad and pained ones that were used in the kisses to happy facial expressions.
Yeah, you've heard it right, for now it's just a replacer that swaps the original facial expressions to happy ones, so your Tav/Durge may express themselves a bit weirdly during other cutscenes. It can also affect npcs that use the default/vanilla faces available to you in the character creator.
For now it changes animation files of facial expressions for default and possibly modded faces of male/female elves/tieflings/humans. Should also work on drow and half-elves.
Now it also has a version for dagonborn and half-orcs.
Let me know if it works on modded faces properly.
For now it only changes the animations used in kneeling and "admiring the neck" kisses.
There's also a version that works on female gith heads, but it needs a bit more testing. Let me know if it works/doesn't work or if it affects companion Lae'zel's facial expressions.
If you want any other races animations to be added, let me know and i'll try to make it work.
