What’s new in version 3.12.1
Covers More Kisses All-in-One v3.12.1, the new Modular edition (same version), Kissing Styles v1.1.1, the Optional Neutral file and the More Kisses pose pack v1.2.1.
Ages and who can kiss
- Romantic kisses are teen with teen, or young adult and older with each other. Children are never included, and a teen can't kiss an adult. This covers the normal kisses, the 19 Neutral kisses, Whisper and Cheek Kiss, the bed kisses and their partner list.
- The Kissing Styles conversations follow the same rule: teen with teen, adult with adult.
- Actions > Kissing Style is hidden for children and younger.
- First kisses respect romantic orientation, as the game's own First Kiss does. The seated kisses do too.
- The normal kisses no longer have a side route that skipped their first-kiss and romance requirements.
- The 16 older kisses (8 normal, 8 first-kiss versions) are no longer started by Sims on their own, and they need the other Sim to be awake.
- Neutral kisses, Fake Hug and Air Kiss Rivalry need the two Sims to have met.
- The 12 Kissing Style chats need romance 30, and "So... Am I a Good Kisser?" needs a first kiss.
Kisses
- Admire and Kiss now plays its animation as a first kiss.
- Jealousy now uses the game's kiss-level jealousy, and partners of the kissed Sim can react too. Loyal Sims react to all the romantic kisses, and the bed kisses can now cause jealousy.
- First kisses play the game's first-kiss sting and notes only when the first kiss succeeds.
- Mixed Signals and Drown in Kiss can be refused as first kisses, like their sister kisses. Wrapped in a Kiss and Steamy Couch Makeout are never refused.
- Unflirty first kisses and the After Words first kiss give the kiss's own moodlets.
- Two old replacements of the game's own animations were removed, so the game's originals play again.
Moodlets
- Bad moodlets from the random pool are rare in a good mood and common in a bad mood. A Sim gets one pool moodlet at a time.
- Moodlets meant for the kissed Sim now check the kissed Sim.
- Reassuring Kiss always gives the kissed Sim "Not Alone Anymore".
- Tearful Tender Kiss gives a note for every couple, and its texts say "loved one".
- Still Wanting More lasts 4 hours.
- Some of the ten Kissing Styles moodlets have a new emotion that fits them better, and the Kissing Styles conversations always show their own names.
- Text fixes, such as "Where am I?" and "(From Reassuring Kiss)". The Lingering Uncertain kisser moodlet is now called "Ended on a High Note".
Pose pack
- Pose 24 now reads "Whisper and Cheek Kiss (Actor:Y)". Before, both halves said Actor:X.
Modular edition (new download)
- More Kisses now also comes as a Modular edition: the same mod cut into one file per kiss, so you install only the kisses you want. Same kisses, rules and fixes as the All-in-One.
maplebell_morekisses_core.packageis always needed. It holds the text, the menus and the shared moodlets, and no kisses of its own.- 35 kiss files, one kiss each. Take a file out later and that kiss is gone from the menus; nothing else changes.
- Kissing Styles is the same file as in the All-in-One download.
- Optional Neutral and the pose pack are now their own downloads and work with either edition.
Behind-the-scenes fixes
- A retired game reaction removed from the seated kisses, and a duplicate text removed.
Good to know
- 19 of the 35 kisses have a Neutral version. The newest ones will be added in a later update.
- With the Modular edition, a Neutral kiss shows only when its kiss file and the Optional Neutral file are both installed.
- Switching from the All-in-One to the Modular edition later: delete the All-in-One file, then put in the core and your kiss files. Your Sims keep their Kissing Styles.
For translators
Game text: 0 new, 11 changed, 0 removed. Optional Neutral and Kissing Styles also gained language tables filled with English text. Translations for this mod
About
More Kisses adds dozens of new kisses to the game: a Cradle Kiss, a Searing Kiss, a shy one, a clumsy one, a kiss on the bed or the couch, and a fake one just for show. Before a couple’s first kiss you see a first-kiss version, and after it a normal one. Most kisses leave a moodlet behind, so the kiss has a little after-feeling.
Kisses Shy, steamy, on the couch or bed.
First kisses A first-kiss version for new couples.
Moodlets A little after-feeling for most kisses.
Kissing Styles Eight ways to kiss, and talk about it.
Kiss for Show Kisses that aren’t what they look like.
Every kiss is your choice: Sims never start one on their own. Romance and friendship grow like with the game’s own kisses, and jealousy works the same way too. Two add-ons are there if you want them. Kissing Styles gives each Sim their own way of kissing, from Nervous to Intense, with conversations about it. Optional-Neutral plays the same animations with no romance and no outcome, so you decide what the kiss means.
There are two ways to get it, and you install only one. The All-in-One has every kiss in one file. The Modular edition has one file per kiss, so you pick only the kisses you want: watch them in Choose your kisses, below, and see each kiss’s file name.
Mod help
Install or update
- Install only ONE edition: the All-in-One (
Maplebell_More_Kisses_v3.12.1.zip) or the Modular edition (Maplebell_More_Kisses_Modular_v3.12.1.zip), never both. Together, every kiss shows twice. - First delete every old More Kisses file, in all subfolders too:
maplebell_morekisses (All-in-One) - v3.12.package(or any older version),maplebell_morekisses_kissingstyles_v1.1.package(or v1.0),maplebell_morekisses(Optional-Neutral).packageandmaplebell_morekisses_posepackv1.2.package. An old copy left behind brings back the old age rules. - All-in-One: put in
maplebell_morekisses (All-in-One) - v3.12.1.package, andmaplebell_morekisses_kissingstyles_v1.1.1.packageif you want Kissing Styles. - Modular edition: put in
maplebell_morekisses_core.package(always needed), then only the kiss files you want from the Kisses folder, and Kissing Styles from the Optional folder if you want it. Choose your kisses, below, lists every file. - Extras, for either edition:
maplebell_morekisses(Optional-Neutral).packagefrom the Optional Neutral download, andmaplebell_morekisses_posepackv1.2.1.packagefrom the pose pack download (needs Pose Player). - Delete
localthumbcache.packagein your The Sims 4 folder if it’s there.
Troubleshooting
No More Kisses kisses show up. Check that XML Injector is installed and working. That is almost always the cause. Then check the More Kisses files are in your Mods folder, and that there is only one copy of each.
Every kiss shows twice. The All-in-One and the Modular files are both installed. Keep only one edition.
A kiss is missing (Modular edition). That kiss’s file isn’t in your Mods folder, or the core file is missing. The core, maplebell_morekisses_core.package, is always needed.
The UI disappears or acts strangely after a kiss. Lumpinou’s Mood Pack is missing or out of date. Install or update it.
One kiss is missing from the menu. Each kiss has its own rules. Romantic kisses are teen with teen or adult with adult, never between relatives, and the Sims must have met and be attracted to each other. Most normal kisses need romance 50, most first kisses need 15, and your Sim can’t be Sad or Angry.
The age rules seem wrong, or a child sees a kiss. An old copy is still in your Mods folder. Remove every old All-in-One, Kissing Styles and Optional-Neutral file, then add the new ones again.
