Part 1 of 1
Player guide
Your Sims deserve more than one way to kiss. More Kisses adds dozens.
More Kisses adds new kiss animations to the game. A Cradle Kiss, a Searing Kiss, a shy one, a clumsy one, a kiss on the bed, a kiss on the couch, a fake one for show. Each kiss can be a normal kiss or your Sims’ very first kiss. Most of them leave a moodlet behind, so the kiss has a little after-feeling.
There are three parts:
- More Kisses (the All-in-One). The main file. All the kisses, hugs and moodlets.
- Kissing Styles. An add-on. Give each Sim their own way of kissing, and unlock conversations about it.
- Optional-Neutral. An add-on for storytellers. The same animations, but not romantic and with no outcome. You decide what the kiss means.
There is also a More Kisses pose pack for Pose Player. It has its own section near the end.
Getting started
What you need
- The Sims 4 base game. No packs needed.
- XML Injector. Required. Without it no kiss shows up.
- Lumpinou’s Mood Pack. Required. Many of the moodlets use its moods.
- Kissing Styles needs More Kisses. It does not work on its own.
- Optional-Neutral needs More Kisses. On its own it shows nothing, because the kiss names live in the main file.
Installing
There are four downloads. Pick one of the first two, never both:
- All-in-One (
Maplebell_More_Kisses_v3.12.1.zip): every kiss in one file, plus Kissing Styles. - Modular edition (
Maplebell_More_Kisses_Modular_v3.12.1.zip): one file per kiss, so you install only the kisses you want, plus Kissing Styles.
And add these if you want them, with either edition:
- Optional Neutral (
Maplebell_More_Kisses_Optional_Neutral_v3.12.1.zip). - Pose pack (
Maplebell_More_Kisses_Pose_Pack_v1.2.1.zip), for Pose Player.
All-in-One: put maplebell_morekisses (All-in-One) - v3.12.1.package in your Mods folder, and maplebell_morekisses_kissingstyles_v1.1.1.package if you want Kissing Styles.
Modular edition:
- Put
maplebell_morekisses_core.package(in the Required folder) in your Mods folder. You always need it. It has no kisses of its own. - Add the kiss files you want from the Kisses folder, one file per kiss. To see each kiss and its file name, use Choose your kisses on the More Kisses page.
- Want Kissing Styles? Add
maplebell_morekisses_kissingstyles_v1.1.1.packagefrom the Optional folder.
The folders in the zip are only for sorting. Files can sit up to five folders deep in Mods. There is no script file to place.
Updating to version 3.12.1 (important)
Replace the old files. Delete the old copies in your Mods folder, including any copies in sub-folders:
maplebell_morekisses (All-in-One) - v3.12.packagemaplebell_morekisses_kissingstyles_v1.1.packagemaplebell_morekisses(Optional-Neutral).packagemaplebell_morekisses_posepackv1.2.package
Then put the new ones in their place:
maplebell_morekisses (All-in-One) - v3.12.1.packagemaplebell_morekisses_kissingstyles_v1.1.1.packagemaplebell_morekisses(Optional-Neutral).package(same name as before)maplebell_morekisses_posepackv1.2.1.package
This matters more than usual this time. The new version has new age rules. If an old copy is left behind, the old rules can come back. Never keep two copies of the same file.
Using the Modular edition instead? Delete the same old files first, then follow the Modular steps above. The new files have new names, so they don’t overwrite the old ones. Never install the All-in-One and the Modular files together: every kiss would show twice. Switching later? Delete the All-in-One file, then put in the core and your kiss files. Your Sims keep their Kissing Styles.
The rules every romantic kiss follows
These hold for every romantic kiss and every Kissing Styles conversation:
- Teen with teen, or adult with adult. Romantic kisses are for teen with teen, or young adult and older with young adult and older. A teen and an adult never see them with each other.
- No children. No kiss is ever offered to a child, and a child does not see the Kissing Style menu either.
- Not relatives. Sims who are related do not get these kisses with each other.
- They must have met.
- Attraction counts. The game’s own attraction settings are respected. A Sim who is not attracted to the other Sim’s gender does not get the romantic options.
- Your choice only. Sims never start a More Kisses kiss on their own. Every kiss happens because you chose it.
- First kiss or normal kiss. If two Sims have not had their first kiss yet, you see the first-kiss version. Once they have, you see the normal version. Both play the same animation.
Where to find the kisses
Want to see them? Every kiss has a short clip on the More Kisses page.
Click the other Sim. Most kisses are in one of these places:
| Menu | What is there |
|---|---|
| Romance > Physical Intimacy > More Kisses | The main kisses (the big table below) |
| Romance > Physical Intimacy (while sitting together) | Wrapped in a Kiss, Steamy Couch Makeout |
| Romance > Affection (while sitting at a picnic table) | Benchside Kiss |
| Mischief > Deception | Kiss For Show, Whisper and Cheek Kiss, Fake Hug, Air Kiss Rivalry |
| Friendly > Affection | Soothing Snuggle, the friendly Teasing Kiss, and the Neutral kisses if you installed them |
| Click a double bed > More Kisses | Sweet Lean-In Kiss, Needy Kiss |
| Click your own Sim > Actions > Kissing Style | Choosing a Kissing Style (if you installed Kissing Styles) |
Some of the main kisses in the More Kisses menu.
The main kisses (Romance > Physical Intimacy > More Kisses)
Unless the table says otherwise, a kiss here needs:
- Normal version: the two Sims have had their first kiss, and romance is 50 or more.
- First-kiss version: no first kiss yet, and romance is 15 or more.
- Your Sim is not Sad or Angry. A Sim in a bad mood does not see most of these.

Handheld Kiss.

Kisses while sitting
| Kiss | Where | What it needs |
|---|---|---|
| Benchside Kiss | Romance > Affection, both Sims sitting at a picnic table | dating, engaged or married; romance 15 or more |
| Wrapped in a Kiss | Romance > Physical Intimacy, sitting together (couch or bed) | romance 15 or more; 30 or more for the first-kiss version |
| Steamy Couch Makeout | Romance > Physical Intimacy, sitting together on a couch | romance 15 or more; 30 or more for the first-kiss version |
Benchside Kiss and Wrapped in a Kiss give a random More Kisses moodlet. Steamy Couch Makeout gives its own “Making Out” moodlets to both Sims. All three have a first-kiss version.

Kisses on the bed
Click a double bed, then More Kisses. Pick Sweet Lean-In Kiss or Needy Kiss, then pick the partner from the list.
- Only your Sim’s romantic partners are in the list.
- The partner must be awake.
- One Sim sits on the bed and the other leans in.
- Both Sims get a moodlet from that kiss’s own set (“Sweet Kiss” or “Needy Kiss”).
These only appear on double beds, not single beds.

Mischief > Deception
Kisses that are not quite what they look like.
| Interaction | What it needs | Moodlets |
|---|---|---|
| Kiss For Show | romance 15 or less; the same age and family rules as the romantic kisses | “Insincere Kiss”, both Sims |
| Whisper and Cheek Kiss | friendship 10 or less; they have met; teen with teen or adult with adult | “Cheek Kiss”, both Sims |
| Fake Hug | friendship 10 or less; they have met; teen or older | “Fake Hug”, both Sims |
| Air Kiss Rivalry | friendship 10 or less; they have met; teen or older | “Air-Kiss”, both Sims |
Kiss For Show never counts as a first kiss. It is only for appearances. So if two Sims have not had their first kiss, they will still see first-kiss versions of the other kisses afterwards.
Fake Hug and Air Kiss Rivalry are not romantic.
Friendly > Affection
| Interaction | What it needs | Moodlets |
|---|---|---|
| Soothing Snuggle | the other Sim is Sad; friendship 80 or more; teen or older | “Emotional Support” for the Sim being comforted |
| Teasing Kiss (friendly) | friendship 80 or more; teen or older | its own friendly “Teasing” set, both Sims |
These two are not romantic.
Moodlets
The random More Kisses moodlet
Fifteen kisses share one pool of 28 moodlets. Most are happy, flirty or playful. Six are not so nice. The game picks one for the Sim who started the kiss. The not-so-nice ones are rare in a good mood and common in a bad mood.
- One at a time. Your Sim only gets one moodlet from this pool at a time. After one lands, more kisses from the pool give no new one for about 4 Sim hours.
- If the first one is awkward, it stays. It does not get replaced by a nicer one. It wears off on its own.
- First kisses are different. A first kiss gives the game’s own first-kiss moodlet instead.
One of the moodlets from the random pool.
Kisses with their own moodlets
The newer kisses each have their own small set. Both Sims get one: one written for the Sim who kissed, one for the Sim who was kissed. A Sim does not get a second moodlet from the same set while one is still on.

What else a kiss does
- Romance and friendship go up, like the game’s own kisses.
- Jealousy works like the game’s kisses. If your Sim kisses someone while in a relationship with someone else, the partner can get jealous. That also counts when the partner of the Sim being kissed sees it. The bed kisses can cause jealousy too.
- Loyal Sims feel guilty after any of the romantic kisses with someone who is not their partner, like with the game’s own kisses.
- First kisses show the game’s first-kiss message and play its sound, but only when the first kiss succeeds.
Kissing Styles
Kissing Styles gives a Sim their own way of kissing. It shapes how they talk about kissing. It does not change what they enjoy receiving. A Nervous Kisser can still love an intense kiss.
The eight styles
| Style | What it means |
|---|---|
| Affectionate Kisser | loves frequent, casual kisses and physical affection |
| Confident Kisser | smooth, self-assured, happy to take the lead |
| Intense Kisser | passionate, physical, never does things halfway |
| Messy Kisser | enthusiastic, imperfect, a little uncoordinated |
| Needy Kisser | one kiss is never enough |
| Nervous Kisser | hesitant, flustered, overthinks the moment |
| Teasing Kisser | loves almost-kisses and keeping a partner guessing |
| Tender Kisser | soft, slow, gentle and present |
What a style means, as the notification explains it.
A Sim has one style at a time. Choosing a new one replaces the old one.
Choosing a style
Click your own Sim > Actions > Kissing Style. Your Sim must be a teen or older.
- Select … Kisser: one entry for each of the eight styles.
- Randomize Kissing Style: let the game pick.
- Current Kissing Style: see which style your Sim has.
- Remove Kissing Style: take it away.
The Kissing Style menu on your own Sim.
When you select, change or randomize a style, a notification explains what that style means for your Sim.
Kissing Style conversations
Click the other Sim > Romance > Physical Intimacy > More Kisses > Kissing Style. These follow the same rules as the romantic kisses: teen with teen or adult with adult, not relatives, they have met, attraction counts.
| Conversation | Who sees it |
|---|---|
| Share Kissing Style | your Sim has any style |
| Show Me How You Kiss | romance 30 or more |
| So… Am I a Good Kisser? | romance 30 or more; they have had their first kiss |
| Ask for More Kisses | Affectionate |
| Ask if Kisses Are Missed | Affectionate |
| Request a Goodbye Kiss | Affectionate |
| Express Kissing Confidence | Confident |
| Offer to “Show How it’s Done” | Confident |
| Ask for a Real Kiss | Intense |
| Ask for More Passion | Intense |
| Admit Nervousness | Nervous |
| Am I Doing This Right? | Nervous |
| Promise a Kiss… Maybe | Teasing |
| Ask for a Sweet Kiss | Tender |
| Compliment Soft Kisses | Tender |
The 12 style conversations (from Ask for More Kisses down) also need romance 30 or more.
Messy and Needy Kissers have no conversations of their own. They still get the three shared ones.
The style conversations give a pair of moodlets: warm, playful or awkward, picked at random. Share Kissing Style tells the other Sim your style. Show Me How You Kiss and So… Am I a Good Kisser? give replies that depend on the other Sim’s style.
Kissing Style conversations, replies and moodlets.
Optional-Neutral
For storytellers who want the animations without the romance. A kiss that was a mistake, a dare, a stage kiss. You decide.
- Where: click the other Sim > Friendly > Affection > More Kisses (Neutral).
- No outcome. The animation plays and that is all. No moodlet, no relationship change.
- Rules: teen with teen or adult with adult; not relatives; they must have met.
- Needs More Kisses. Without the main file it shows nothing.
Which kisses Neutral has (19): Admire and Kiss, After Words Kiss, Amorous Kiss, Carried Temptation Kiss, Chin Lift Kiss, Cradle Kiss, Enraptured Kiss, First Move Kiss, Forehead Kiss, Frenzied Kiss, Grab and Kiss, Handheld Kiss, Hesitation and a Kiss, Hug and Surprise Kiss, Lingering Uncertain Kiss, Searing Kiss, Shy Kiss, Steamy Kiss, Tearful Tender Kiss.
Not in Neutral: the kisses added since September 2025. That is Whirlwind, Wander & Kiss, Teasing, Steamy Couch Makeout, Kiss For Show, Reassuring, Mixed Signals, Whisper and Cheek, Drown in Kiss, Benchside, Wrapped in a Kiss and the two bed kisses.
What’s new in version 3.12.1
This update (12 November 2026): More Kisses All-in-One 3.12.1, Kissing Styles 1.1.1, the Optional-Neutral file and the pose pack 1.2.1, plus the new Modular edition (same version). Four downloads, all free.
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 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.
Behind-the-scenes fixes: a retired game reaction removed from the seated kisses, and a duplicate text removed.
Known limits
- Optional-Neutral does not have the newest kisses yet. They will be added in a later update. See the list above.
- Enraptured Kiss has no first-kiss version. Use another kiss for the first one.
- Carried Temptation Kiss uses Chin Lift’s moodlets. It has no set of its own.
- Bed kisses are on double beds only.
- Benchside Kiss is only at picnic tables. Unlike the couch kisses, a Sad or Angry Sim can still use it.
- A refused first kiss still plays the kiss. If the other Sim turns down a first kiss, the kiss animation plays first and the embarrassed reaction comes after. The game’s own kiss plays a refusal animation instead.
- Old posts give different numbers. The numbers in this guide follow the mod files: Mixed Signals Kiss needs romance 30, Fake Hug and Air Kiss Rivalry need friendship 10 or less, Kiss For Show allows romance up to 15, and Benchside Kiss is in Romance > Affection.
If something looks wrong
I cannot find any More Kisses kisses. Check that XML Injector is installed and working. That is almost always the cause. XML Injector is a script mod, so Script Mods Allowed must be on in Game Options > Other. Then check the More Kisses files are in your Mods folder, and that there is only one copy of each.
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. Every kiss has its own conditions. Check these, in order:
- Ages. Teen with teen, or adult with adult. A teen and an adult never get romantic kisses with each other.
- Family. Relatives never get them.
- Have they met?
- Attraction. Is the other Sim attracted to your Sim’s gender?
- First kiss. Before the first kiss you see first-kiss versions; after, normal versions. Enraptured Kiss and the romantic Teasing Kiss have no first-kiss version.
- Romance. 50 or more for most normal kisses, 15 or more for most first kisses. Drown in Kiss and Mixed Signals Kiss need 30.
- Mood. Your Sim must not be Sad or Angry for most kisses. Reassuring, Tearful Tender and Soothing Snuggle need the other Sim to be Sad.
- Awake. Several kisses need the other Sim awake.
- Place. Benchside needs a picnic table, the couch kisses need you sitting together, the bed kisses need a double bed.
The Deception kisses never show up. They are for Sims who are not close. Kiss For Show needs romance 15 or less. The other three need friendship 10 or less.
My teen and an adult cannot kiss. That is on purpose. Romantic kisses are for teen with teen, or adult with adult.
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 Neutral file, then add the new ones again.
My Sim did not get a new moodlet. From the random pool, your Sim only gets one moodlet at a time, for about 4 Sim hours. From the kisses with their own sets, a Sim does not get a second one from the same set while the first is on.
Kiss For Show did not count as their first kiss. On purpose. It is a kiss for appearances.
The Neutral kisses do not show. Neutral needs the main More Kisses file. Check they have met, and that they are teen with teen or adult with adult.
The Kissing Style menu or conversations do not show. Kissing Styles needs More Kisses. The menu is on your own Sim and needs a teen or older. Most conversations need your Sim to have a certain style and romance 30 or more. Show Me How You Kiss needs romance 30 or more. So… Am I a Good Kisser? needs romance 30 or more and a first kiss.
Someone got jealous. That is the game’s own jealousy, the same as with its kisses.
Can I add it to a save I already have? Yes. More Kisses adds nothing permanent except the Kissing Styles your Sims pick, which are saved with each Sim. Its moodlets wear off on their own.
More Kisses pose pack
For Pose Player users who want to stage screenshots, tell stories or make videos with the More Kisses animations, without using the interactions.
What you need
- Pose Player. That is all. Without Pose Player the pack does nothing, and it breaks nothing.
- You do not need More Kisses for the pose pack.
Installing and updating
The pose pack comes in the same zip as More Kisses.
- Delete the old More Kisses pose pack file,
maplebell_morekisses_posepackv1.2.package(or the oldermaplebell_morekisses_posepack.package). - Put
maplebell_morekisses_posepackv1.2.1.packagein its place, in your Mods folder.
Using it
Open Pose Player and pick the More Kisses pack. Each kiss comes in two halves, X and Y, one for each Sim. Put one Sim on X and the other on Y.
The More Kisses pack in Pose Player.
To see what each kiss looks like, every one has a short clip on the More Kisses page.
What is in it (26 poses, 13 kisses)
Handheld Kiss, Benchside Kiss, Wrapped in a Kiss, Lingering Uncertain Kiss, Chin Lift Kiss, First Move Kiss, Cheeky Lift Kiss, After Words Kiss, Whirlwind Kiss, Wander & Kiss, Kiss for Show, Whisper and Cheek Kiss, Mixed Signals Kiss. Each one as X and Y.
What’s new in version 1.2.1
- Pose 24 now reads “Whisper and Cheek Kiss (Actor:Y)”. Before, both halves said Actor:X.
Known limits
- Three kisses share animation. Cheeky Lift Kiss X and After Words Kiss X play the same motion. Chin Lift Kiss Y, Cheeky Lift Kiss Y and After Words Kiss Y play the same motion too. So at least two of these do not show their own kiss yet. This needs new exports from the animation files and is not part of this update.
- The newer kisses are not in the pack yet. For example the bed kisses, Drown in Kiss, Reassuring Kiss and Steamy Couch Makeout. An update with them is planned for later.
- Every pose uses Pose Player’s own icon, so the thumbnails all look the same.
If something looks wrong
The pack is not in Pose Player. Check Pose Player is installed and working, and that only one copy of the pose pack is in your Mods folder.
Two kisses look the same. That is the shared-animation limit above.
