Talking Heads Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on head scaling when someone talks?
Open your game settings menu and look for the Talking Heads mod options. The head scaling feature should be enabled by default, but you can toggle it on if it's off. Once enabled, any player speaking into their microphone will have their head grow larger on your screen.
Can I use this mod with both Plasmo Voice and Simple Voice Chat at the same time?
Yes, Talking Heads is designed to work with both voice chat mods simultaneously without any conflicts. You can have both installed and the head-scaling effect will work for speakers using either mod.
The heads aren't getting bigger when people talk. What's wrong?
First, check that Talking Heads is enabled in your mod settings. Make sure the other players have their microphones working and are actually transmitting voice—the mod only scales heads when it detects active voice input. If you're still having issues, verify that your voice chat mod (Plasmo Voice or Simple Voice Chat) is properly installed and configured.
How do I make the head scaling bigger or smaller?
Open the Talking Heads settings screen from your game menu and adjust the head scale size slider. You can also change the sensitivity to control how quickly heads grow when someone starts speaking.
Does this mod affect other players or just what I see?
Talking Heads runs only on your own screen, so it only changes the visuals you see. Other players won't see the enlarged heads unless they also have the mod installed.
Will this mod work if I'm in a large group of players?
Yes, that's one of the main benefits—the enlarged head makes it much easier to identify exactly who is speaking even when many players are standing close together. The visual effect cuts through the confusion of crowded situations.
Can I customize how the head scaling looks?
The mod includes a settings screen accessible from your game menu where you can adjust the scale size and sensitivity to match your preferences. These changes only affect your personal view of the game.
Does Talking Heads work if players are far away or flying?
Yes, the head scaling effect works regardless of distance or whether players are flying, swimming, or standing on the ground. You'll see the enlarged head as long as the player is visible on your screen and speaking.
What if I only want to use one voice chat mod, not both?
Talking Heads works perfectly fine with just Plasmo Voice alone or just Simple Voice Chat alone. You only need to install whichever voice chat mod you prefer.
Does this mod cause lag or performance issues?
Talking Heads is a lightweight visual-only mod that runs client-side, so it has minimal impact on performance. It simply scales player head models when voice input is detected without affecting server performance or gameplay mechanics.
