The Next-Gen Update Broke Character Faces and No One Noticed

its not broken, its working as intended , next gen has a mod that edits those "wrinkles" out. (as other  similar"clear face mods do")

 

unless you mean something else.

 

the reason? proabbly because it looks more realistic.

It looks more realistic for character faces not to wrinkle and remain stiff like they're injected with loads of Botox? How are you aware this change is intended? I don't see it listed in the official integrated mod list.

it could be based on my own preference but based on screenshots you attached the next gen looks a lot better without those wrinkles. (I did not see it in motion yet , maybe its worse there?)

I might be wrong but I think this mod was included in the next gen by default:

Lip Movement and HiRes Shadows (and High Quality Heads) on NPCs in gameplay at The Witcher 3 Nexus - Mods and community

and under the posts section of that mod there is :

Unfortunately, this new version removed both the ability for NPCs to blink and the effect of wrinkles on the faces of all characters. I believe that this mod, even updated, does not apply to the issue of wrinkles. Right?

 

and that mod was updated in 2020, and you can also find post that they copied code and bugs on same page as well. 

thats what I am basing this  on assumption , but I dont really know if its true, it might be not related as well.

 

 

(you can find the lip mod on this page:

List of unneeded mods for Next-Gen Update (already included or obsolete) at The Witcher 3 Nexus - Mods and community

 

says it was reported to have  mod features used in next gen.)
