Benchside Kiss plays again!

Updated 13 November 2026

Start here (please read this first!)

More Kisses has a big update, and there are now two ways to get it. It's easy once you know which one you want. Here's the whole plan in four steps:

1. Pick your edition (see "Which download do I pick?" just below).

2. Want to choose your own kisses? Go to my website first. Watch the kisses, tick the ones you like, and it gives you a list of file names.

3. Come back here and download the Modular zip. It has all the kisses inside.

4. Open the zip and copy only the files on your list into your Mods folder. The steps below show you how.

Updating from an older version? You must delete your old More Kisses files first, or the old rules come back. "Installing, Step 1" names every file.

Which download do I pick?

You only need one of these two:

If you…

want every kiss download this:

All-in-One: Maplebell_More_Kisses_v3.12.1.zip

If you…

only want some of the kisses

Modular edition: Maplebell_More_Kisses_Modular_v3.12.1.zip

Never install both. If you do, every kiss shows up twice.

Not sure? Pick the All-in-One. It has everything, and you can skip the website part.

Optional extras (they work with either edition):

• Optional Neutral: only if you tell stories and want kisses with no romance effects.

• Pose pack: only if you use Pose Player for screenshots or videos.

Don't know what these are? Then you don't need them!

How to use the website

The website doesn't download anything. Think of it as a shopping list:

• The Modular zip (here on Patreon) holds all 35 kiss files, each in the Kisses folder. You download the whole zip once.

• The website helps you decide which of those 35 files to keep. You watch the kisses, tick the ones you like, and it writes your list.

• Then you open the zip and copy only the files on your list into your Mods folder. You leave the rest in the zip.

The file names on the website are exactly the same as the file names in the zip.

Choosing your kisses, step by step (Modular edition)

My website has a page where you can watch every kiss and build your own list of files.

Open Choose your kisses on maplebellmods.com

Step 1. Open the link. It takes you straight to Choose your kisses on the More Kisses page.

Step 2. Watch the kisses. Each kiss has its own card. Tap the picture to play a short clip, and tap again to stop it. Looking for a kiss by name? Type it in the Find a kiss box.

Step 3. Tick the ones you want. On each card you like, tick Add to my install. The card lights up so you can see what you've picked.

• Want them all? Press Select all 35.

• Changed your mind? Press Clear to untick every kiss.

Step 4. Pick your extras (optional). Under Extras, tick:

• Kissing Styles, if you want it (it's inside the Modular zip, so there's nothing extra to download);

• Optional Neutral and/or the Pose pack, only if you want them.

Step 5. Look at "Your install checklist". On a computer it's on the right side of the page. On a phone it's below all the kiss cards, so keep scrolling down. It shows:

• Download: which zips to download from this Patreon post (for the kisses, that's always the Modular zip);

• Put these files in Mods: your list. These are the files you'll take out of the zip. The core file is always at the top, because you always need it.

Step 6. Save your list. Press Copy file list and paste it into Notes or a text file. Or just keep the website open in another tab while you install.

Step 7. Come back to this post and download the Modular zip (plus any extra zips your checklist names). You download the whole zip, with all 35 kisses inside. That's normal.

Step 8. Open the zip and copy only the files on your list:

1. Unzip Maplebell_More_Kisses_Modular_v3.12.1.zip.

2. Open the Required folder and copy maplebell_morekisses_core.package into your Mods folder.

3. Open the Kisses folder. For each file on your list, find the file with the same name and copy it into your Mods folder. Leave every other file where it is.

4. If your list has Kissing Styles, it's in the Optional folder.

Tip: the files in the Kisses folder are in A to Z order, and so is the website, so they're easy to match up.

Want a different kiss later? Go back to the website, find it, and copy its file from the zip. No need to download again.

Changed your mind and want everything? Press Use the All-in-One on the website. The checklist switches to the All-in-One file instead.

Two kisses, Shy Kiss and Steamy Kiss, don't have a clip yet. You can still tick them.

What's new for returning players

• Who can kiss whom is fixed: teens with teens, adults with adults.

• Jealousy, first kisses and many moodlets are fixed.

• New: the Modular edition, with one file per kiss.

• Optional Neutral and the pose pack are now their own downloads, so you only take what you use.

About More Kisses

When I started this mod, I just felt the game needed more ways for Sims to kiss. One kiss animation for every couple and every moment never felt like enough. So I started adding my own: shy kisses, steamy ones, playful ones, a kiss on the couch, a kiss by the bed, and later the "fake" kisses for Sims who are only pretending to like each other.

More Kisses adds 35 kiss animations. Most are romantic kisses, and most of those come in two versions: a first kiss version for a couple's first kiss, and the normal one after it. Both play the same animation, so your Sims' first kiss can be any kiss you like.

Most kisses leave a moodlet behind, a little after-feeling, and some come with their own moodlets or a little note.

Sims never start a More Kisses kiss on their own. You always choose. Romance, friendship and jealousy work like the game's own kisses.

What you need

• The Sims 4 base game. No packs needed.

• XML Injector. Required. Without it, no kisses show up at all.

• Lumpinou's Mood Pack. Required. Many of the moodlets use its moods.

• Pose Player. Only if you use the pose pack.

You do not need the Maplebell Pie Menu for this mod.

Installing

Step 1: Remove the old version (everyone who had More Kisses before)

1. Close the game.

2. Open your Mods folder: Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods.

3. Delete these old files. Check inside sub-folders 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).package

   • maplebell_morekisses_posepackv1.2.package (or the older maplebell_morekisses_posepack.package)

4. Go back one folder, to The Sims 4. If there's a file called localthumbcache.package, delete it.

New to More Kisses? Skip to Step 2.

Step 2: Install ONE edition

If you picked the All-in-One:

1. Unzip Maplebell_More_Kisses_v3.12.1.zip.

2. Put maplebell_morekisses (All-in-One) - v3.12.1.package in your Mods folder.

3. Want Kissing Styles? Also put in maplebell_morekisses_kissingstyles_v1.1.1.package.

Done!

If you picked the Modular edition:

1. Unzip Maplebell_More_Kisses_Modular_v3.12.1.zip.

2. Open the Required folder and put maplebell_morekisses_core.package in your Mods folder. You always need this one.

3. Open the Kisses folder. Copy only the kiss files on your list from the website into Mods. The names match exactly. One file = one kiss. The ones you didn't pick stay in the zip.

4. Want Kissing Styles? Open the Optional folder and put in maplebell_morekisses_kissingstyles_v1.1.1.package.

The folders in the zip are only there to keep things tidy. The files can go anywhere in your Mods folder, up to five folders deep.

Step 3: Add extras (optional, either edition)

• Optional Neutral: unzip Maplebell_More_Kisses_Optional_Neutral_v3.12.1.zip and put maplebell_morekisses(Optional-Neutral).package in your Mods folder.

• Pose pack: unzip Maplebell_More_Kisses_Pose_Pack_v1.2.1.zip and put maplebell_morekisses_posepackv1.2.1.package in your Mods folder.

Before you start the game, check:

• I have only one edition (All-in-One or Modular, not both).

• I have only one copy of each file.

• No old More Kisses files are left anywhere in my Mods folder.

• If I chose Modular, I have the core file.

• XML Injector and Lumpinou's Mood Pack are installed.

Switching from the All-in-One to the Modular edition later? Delete the All-in-One file, then put in the core file and your kiss files. Your Sims keep their Kissing Styles.

Want to add or remove a kiss later (Modular)? Just add or take out its file. Nothing else changes.

How to use it in game

Where to find the kisses

Kiss type

Where to click

Most kisses: Click another Sim → Romance → Physical Intimacy → More Kisses

Seated kisses: When your Sims sit together

Bed kisses: On a double bed, under More Kisses

Fake kissesMischief → Deception

Before a couple's first kiss, you'll see the first kiss version of each kiss. After it, you'll see the normal one.

A Modular example

Say you only want a shy first kiss, a cozy couch kiss and a kiss on the bed. You'd put just these four files in your Mods folder:

• maplebell_morekisses_core.package ← always needed

• maplebell_morekisses_kiss-shy-kiss.package

• maplebell_morekisses_kiss-wrapped-in-a-kiss.package

• maplebell_morekisses_kiss-sweet-lean-in-kiss.package

That's a complete install!

• Shy Kiss shows in the More Kisses menu.

• Wrapped in a Kiss shows when your Sims sit together.

• Sweet Lean-In Kiss shows on the double bed.

Want Shy Kiss as a Neutral kiss for a story too? Add the Optional Neutral file, and Shy Kiss (Neutral) shows up under Friendly.

Kissing Styles

Gives each Sim their own way of kissing.

• Where: click your Sim → Actions → Kissing Style.

• Pick one of eight styles: Affectionate, Confident, Intense, Messy, Needy, Nervous, Teasing or Tender. You can also let the game pick at random.

Your Sim gets a notification explaining what their style means. It also unlocks chats about kissing, like "Show Me How You Kiss", "So... Am I a Good Kisser?" and "Admit Nervousness".

A style is about how a Sim gives kisses, not what they like to get. A Nervous kisser can still love an intense kiss!

Optional Neutral (for storytellers)

The same kiss animations, but with no effects at all: no moodlet, no relationship change. The animation just plays, and you decide what it meant: a mistake, a dare, a stage kiss…

• Where: Friendly → Affection → More Kisses (Neutral). The two Sims only need to have met.

• 19 of the kisses have a Neutral version, mostly the older ones. The newest ones aren't in Neutral yet. On the website, each kiss that has one says "Has a Neutral version".

• Modular edition: a Neutral kiss only shows if you've installed that kiss's file too.

The pose pack (for Pose Player users)

13 of the kisses as poses, for staging screenshots, stories or videos.

• Each kiss comes in two halves, Actor X and Actor Y, one for each Sim.

• Where: in Pose Player, under More Kisses (Maplebell).

• It doesn't need the main mod. Without Pose Player, the file does nothing, but it doesn't break anything either.

Known limits

• Modular edition: taking a kiss file out also removes that kiss's Neutral version.

• Only 19 kisses have a Neutral version. The newer ones will come in a later update.

• Other game languages show English text. All 18 language slots are filled, so nothing shows up blank.

Something's not working?

No kisses show up at all. Make sure XML Injector is installed and working, and that Script Mods Allowed is ticked in Game Options → Other. That's almost always the cause. Also check you only have one copy of each file.

The game's screens look broken after using the mod. Make sure Lumpinou's Mood Pack is installed and up to date. That's what usually causes this.

A kiss is missing from the menu (Modular edition). Its kiss file isn't in your Mods folder, or the core file is missing. You always need the core.

Every kiss shows up twice. You have the All-in-One and the Modular files installed together. Delete one edition.

A Neutral kiss is missing. You need the Optional Neutral file. On the Modular edition, you also need that kiss's own file.

I only see the first kiss versions. That couple hasn't had their first kiss yet. Once they do, the normal versions appear.

Will my Sims start these kisses on their own? No. Everything in this mod is chosen by you.

Still stuck? Check the help section on the More Kisses page, or use Report an issue on the website. Tell me what happened, what you expected, and which Sims were involved.

Complete changes in version 3.12.1

Changes since version 3.12.

Who can kiss

• Romantic kisses are teen with teen, or young adult and older with each other.

• The Kissing Styles conversations follow the same rule, and 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 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.

Downloads

• The Modular edition is new: the same mod as one file per kiss.

• Optional Neutral and the pose pack are now their own downloads, so you only take what you use.

Good to know

• The All-in-One and the Modular edition have exactly the same kisses, rules and text. Only the way the files are split is different.
