Best/Most Natural Expressions for Genesis 8.1?

There are a ton of expression packs for Genesis 8.1 of varying quality. Do any of you all have favorite packs? I'm especailly looking for female expressions, but I'm also interested in male.

I can start: the ones that come with Mousso's Jade seem quite good--not too exagerated and pretty natural.

    There's a lot of great ones.  Some packs have more natural looking expressions, but may still include a few that feel very exaggerated (open mouth smiles often feel like this). I adjust the expressions using the sliders or use other settings (for example, I find some smile expressions don't squint the eyes or cheeks, so I will add that) to make them feel a little less exaggerated. 

     

    I pick from these fairly often.  I have a lot of expression packs, so I tend to mix them when I can.

    (I use this often when I'm just starting, so I don't have the default blank stare)

    I use the base G8.1 expressions and tweak the sliders on my own.

    Yeah.  Sliders are key, no matter which way you go.  One-click expressions are dialed all the way up, and often look exaggerated.

    With 8.1 you have facial bones controls that allow you to make any expression you need out of the basic ones. It was making sense to purchase expressions for G3 and G8 if they were heavily morph based. Not so much for G 8.1.

    If a character needs custom expressions, it likely comes with them. Anything else you can make out of basics.
