Are there any decent custom smile morphs for G3F?

I love G3F's facial bones, but she can't do big grins very convincingly. The upper lip does not thin and stretch realistically, and the corners of the mouth do not become suitably pointy. G2F, whose expressions were all morphs, had much better smiles. I've been trying to port my favorites up to G3F with no success. Does anyone know if there are decent custom smile morphs that help G3F attain realistic smiles?

and if you ever need one for G3M as well, you could also get the bundle
I'd agree with that recommendation - I have the smile delight asset and have been very pleased with the character's natural looking smiles.
Do these expressions affect the eyes, as any 'true' smile does? On the last promo pic showing all expressions of the set I see only the mouth region smiling. This indicates that the smiling person doesn't really mean what she/he is trying to pretend.
caravelle -- Nope, Smile Delight affects only the mouth. Any additional effects have to be added manually. I don't mind because I enjoy messing around with the facial bones and saving expression pose controls, but that level of customization isn't for everyone, I know.
I have Smile Delight for G3F, and it does help to expand the smiles available. However, I still think that the lips don't become appropriately thin and stretched. Sigh...
I wish D3D would come out with GenX3, and I would just port the morphs up from G2F...

Not trying to be insulting, but I don't know what you know- do you go to Parameters and Posing, then Head>Expressions, and mix the sliders? You get awesome smiles that way and yes, it does the entire face appropriately.
As Novica said i have the DAZ Studio expressions and Capses toon expressions and you really have to look at pictures of different types of smiles and dial in the needed expressions to come close.
I like the Capses Tooned Girl 7 Expressions although you'll need to make small adjustments to them to suit your taste they take you most of the way there. There is also a Capses Tooned Guy 7 Expressions. And they both look OK on stock Genesis 3 Female and Genesis 3 Male.
Novica -- if you're talking to me, yes, I do go into the sliders and mess around with them. I also shift individual facial bones for more realistic asymmetry.
Maybe I'll look at the Tooned expressions for some variety...
