A lot of the expressions start looking really cartoonish when you dial them to 100. Even the default smiles I usually keep dialed down to like 40% because of that.

There's a couple that work really well all the way to 100. The expressions that came with Amira (aka Leah) look really good including on other characters. There's also one called "Bereft" that I use a lot on Crystal when she starts losing, combine it with open-mouth at 30% and she looks utterly devastated. Not sure what set that came with but I suspect it's a core one you might have?

Oh very likely... I have been collecting expressions from all over the place. The Gustaf and I3d base sets are good staples. And Ubrey will be going in Leah's chair, hence Kim in between.

Careful putting people in the side-in-between spots. Those spots are ok as alternates but I wouldnt recommend making them someones primary position.

Crystal can barely be seen in the composite above depending on which way Saiki is leaning. And making Crystal stand up to be more visible would start blocking Leah behind her.

No problems. I'll have Kim's composites just to the left and behind where you see Saiki and have her standing. She won't block Leah or be covered by Saiki or Crystal. Aubrey will share the chair with Leah, and Mary with Candy.

And yes, dialing things to 100% usually looks weird, so I tend to avoid it most times. Maybe part of this is my philosophy towards these sorts of games. I prefer the opponents to be willing to play, but not expecting to lose, and becoming shocked when they do. So, and no shade towards Eldricus here, I'm not a fan of Candy because her profile leads to a character that is eager to strip, which isn't to my taste. So generally, after the first few items, the expressions on my opponents become more concerned. It's just my personal taste.

Candy's a special case, but she' got enough of a fan club that I'm not going to be regretting that character choice any time soon. :)

Hehe, there's nothing wrong with her, she's just not to my taste. Between us we provide a wide range of personalities for the ladies so everyone can find something they like.
