Sweet Moments guide

Small, sweet gestures for couples. A nose nudge. A lift into the air. A love letter.

Sweet Moments adds six cute romantic interactions for your Sims. It grew out of More Kisses, but the focus here is softer: little moments of comfort and affection between partners. Each one plays its own animation and leaves both Sims with a moodlet.

There is also a Sweet Moments 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 nothing shows up.
• Lumpinou’s Mood Pack. Required. Seven of the moodlets use its moods.
• A romantic relationship. The two Sims need some romance between them.

You do not need More Kisses for Sweet Moments.

Installing

1. Download the Sweet Moments .package file.
2. Put it into your Mods folder.

Updating to version 1.3.1

1. Delete the old file, maplebell_sweetmoments_v1.3.package (or the older maplebell_sweetmoments.package). Check sub-folders too.
2. Put maplebell_sweetmoments_v1.3.1.package in its place.

Never keep two copies.

Where to find it in game

Click the other Sim, then Romance > Affection > Sweet Moments.

The rules every Sweet Moment follows

• Teen with teen, or adult with adult. A teen and an adult never see these with each other. Children never see them.
• Not relatives.
• They must have met.
• Attraction counts. The game’s own attraction settings are respected.
• Romance 15 or more (the love letter needs 50).
• Your Sim is not Sad or Angry. If they are, the option is greyed out and tells you why.
• Both Sims standing.
• Your choice only. Sims never start these on their own.

The six moments

Moment	Extra condition	What happens
Nose Nudge	none	a playful little nose boop
Close Comfort	none	the two hold their foreheads together
Tender Lift	none	one Sim lifts the other up
Give Love Letter	romance 50 or more; your Sim is Flirty	your Sim hands over a love note and says a sweet line
In Safe Arms	the other Sim is Sad; friendship 70 or more	your Sim comforts their partner and lifts their mood
Back-Hug Flirt	your Sim is Flirty; friendship 70 or more	a sweet hug from behind

You can repeat a moment straight away. There is no waiting time.

Nose Nudge.

Close Comfort.

Tender Lift.

Give Love Letter.

In Safe Arms.

Back-Hug Flirt.

Moodlets

Each click gives each Sim one moodlet: one for the Sim who started it and one for their partner. A Sim does not get a second moodlet from the same moment while one is still on. Most last 4 Sim hours.

A Quiet Connection, one of the Nose Nudge moodlets.

Moment	Your Sim may get	The partner may get
Nose Nudge	Simple Gesture, Lighthearted Moment, A Quiet Connection	Unexpected Gesture, A Small Smile, Brief Amusement
Close Comfort	one of 11 shared moodlets, such as Shared Stillness, Close and Comforted, Quiet Reassurance, In Sync or Moment of Clarity	one of the same 11
Tender Lift (being lifted)	Held Close, Weightless Together, Safe and Secure, Swept Away, Romantic Heights
Tender Lift (lifting)		Strength in Love, Romantic Lift-Off, Light as a Feather, Swept Off Their Feet (Literally)
Give Love Letter	usually Love Expressed, Heart on Paper or Romantic Gesture Success; sometimes Embarrassed Expression or Wrong Words	usually Flattered and Blushing, Words from the Heart or Adored Attention; sometimes Awkward Affection or Overwhelmed by Emotion
In Safe Arms	Protective Embrace, I’ve Got You	Safe in Their Arms, The Warmest Place
Back-Hug Flirt	Couldn’t Resist, Wrapped Up in the Moment	Caught in Their Arms, The Sweetest Surprise

In Tender Lift, the Sim you control is the one who gets lifted.

The love letter is special. The happy moodlets last a full Sim day and are much more likely. The awkward ones last half a day.

What else a moment does: romance and friendship go up a little every time, like the game’s own romantic socials.

Jealousy: the five touching moments (all but the love letter) can make a partner jealous, the same way the game’s own physical romance does. The love letter uses the game’s emotional jealousy instead.

What’s new in version 1.3.1

This update (12 November 2026): Sweet Moments 1.3.1. Free. Changes since the last public 1.3 file.

Changes

• Back-Hug Flirt now needs your Sim to be Flirty, like Give Love Letter.
• Close Comfort now gives its own moodlets. It used to give Nose Nudge’s.
• The other Sim’s moodlet: in all six interactions, the Sim you click now gets their own moodlet. The check looked at your Sim instead, so it could be skipped.
• Jealousy: Close Comfort, Nose Nudge, Tender Lift, In Safe Arms and Back-Hug Flirt now use the game’s jealousy for physical closeness. Give Love Letter keeps the jealousy for emotional closeness.

Behind-the-scenes fixes: the “Back-Hug Flirt” name was missing in the other game languages. It now shows in English there.

Good to know

• Tender Lift and the other lifts need a romance bar of 15 or more and attraction. A dating or partner tie is not needed.

---

Known limits

• In Safe Arms and Back-Hug Flirt need friendship 70. Older posts did not say so.
• Back-Hug Flirt now needs a Flirty Sim, like the love letter.
• Two Back-Hug Flirt icons replace two pictures from the game everywhere they are used. This is on purpose, and it means no pack is needed for them.
• Without the Mood Pack, seven moodlets show no mood.

If something looks wrong

I cannot find Sweet Moments. Check that XML Injector is installed and working. That is the usual cause. XML Injector is a script mod, so Script Mods Allowed must be on in Game Options > Other. Then check there is only one copy of the file.

The UI disappears or acts strangely after a moment. Lumpinou’s Mood Pack is missing or out of date. Install or update it.

One moment is missing. Check, in order:

1. Ages. Teen with teen, or adult with adult.
2. Family. Relatives never get them.
3. Attraction and having met.
4. Romance. 15 or more, or 50 or more for the love letter.
5. Friendship. 70 or more for In Safe Arms and Back-Hug Flirt.
6. Mood. Your Sim must be Flirty for the love letter and Back-Hug Flirt. The other Sim must be Sad for In Safe Arms.

The option is greyed out. Your Sim is Sad or Angry. The tooltip says so.

My Sim did not get a new moodlet. A Sim does not get a second moodlet from the same moment while one is still on. Wait for it to wear off, or try a different moment.

My teen and an adult cannot use these. On purpose. Sweet Moments are for teen with teen, or adult with adult.

Can I add it to a save I already have? Yes. Sweet Moments adds nothing permanent: its moodlets wear off on their own, and romance gained stays as normal.

Sweet Moments pose pack

For Pose Player users who want to stage screenshots, tell stories or make videos with the Sweet Moments 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 Sweet Moments for the pose pack.

Installing

Put maplebell_sweetmoments_posepack.package into your Mods folder.

The pose pack is not part of this update and has no new version. If you already have it, keep it.

Using it

Open Pose Player and pick the Sweet Moments pack. Each pose comes in two halves, X and Y, one for each Sim. Put one Sim on X and the other on Y.

The Sweet Moments pack in Pose Player.

What is in it (10 poses)

Pose	From
Forehead Hold X / Y	Close Comfort
Lift Up in the Air X / Y	Tender Lift
Share Note X / Y	Give Love Letter (no note in the Sims’ hands)
Friendly Side Hug X / Y	A friendly side hug
Pull in for a Hug X / Y	In Safe Arms

The Give Love Letter moment that the Share Note pose comes from.

Known limits

• No Nose Nudge or Back-Hug Flirt poses. Back-Hug Flirt came out after the pack.
• Share Note has no note prop. The Sims hold nothing.
• Every pose uses Pose Player’s own icon, so the thumbnails all look the same.
