While I can understand being apprehensive about upcoming changes that you're not used to... the extreme facial expressions should be relegated to a mod. Especially since they evoke such negative feelings for many players. It shouldn't suddenly be the default after all these months of the game being out before Patch 6. The default should be neutral, or expressing pleasure/happiness (as kisses usually do/should).
I am very sure that a mod with those extreme negative expressions will be made available so that you can have them again.
In other discussions where people have expressed that they do not want to have the patch 6 kisses in their game and asked for at least some option to avoid them, the suggestion that they could just rely on mods wouldn't have been very helpful or productive and it would have been rejected and thrown out.
Why doesn't the same apply in this case?
