Expanded Storytelling Relationship Bits Mod

July 15th: Feature update available to download now for early access: here

I'm so excited about this! Revamp your Sims' relationships and unlock a world of storytelling possibilities with Custom Relationship Bits!

Whenever I play the game I always wanted to be able to visually see how each relationship was different so I thought it would be a great idea to add more relationship bits in the game.

I don't know if I am the only one who loves to open the Sim Info Panel and look at the different relationship descriptions between sims. Gone are the days of generic labels like "Friend" or "Romantic Interest." With Custom Relationship Bits, you can now give your Sims personalized and meaningful relationship titles that reflect their unique connections. From "Childhood Sweetheart" to "Love-Hate Relation" and a lot more, the possibilities are endless.

This mod is perfect for storytellers who want more depth and nuance in their Sims' relationships. Some of the custom relationship titles add depth to your Sims' interactions and help to shape their narratives.

You can access the relationship bit option my pressing on the target sim while you are in control of the sim with whom you want to set the relationship by clicking on actions and then the Enhanced Rel Bit Pie Menu.

Above you can see all of the possible relationship bits you can choose from. They also each have their own description. (The Secret Admirer Rel Bit is the only one-sided bit)

Some of the relationship bits have interactions that come with them. I would love to make more and expand on them but I don't know if this is something you would be interested in so let me know.

More about some of the interactions:

Travel to Visit Long Distance Partner will have your sim leave the house for about two days and return with possible different moodlets.

With the virtual date option your sim will video call their long-distance partner for a few hours and it will make them really happy.

Star-crossed lovers can share a forbidden kiss. And sims who have a love-hate relationship can share an "I hate you"(kiss).

That is all for this mod! A lot of it is cosmetic, But I think it can really help relationships between sims feel more distinct.

Does this mod require any DLC?

No, it does not.

What else do I need for the mod?

Lumpinou's Mood Pack Mod, so it is required for the mod to work properly.

You can get her mod here.

If you already have it great! But make sure it's up to date. Otherwise, it will break the UI

Maplebell Pie Menu: Download Below. If you already have it ignore.

More Kisses Mod here. If you don't intend on using the kissing interactions you don't need to get it.

Questions and concerns you might have?

I want to remove the relationship bit

After you set the relationship bit an option to remove it will appear in the same pie menu.

Some interactions aren't showing

The interactions depend on the relationship bit you may have with a sim. For example, only sims who have had a summer romance can "Share Summer Memories. Only Study Buddies can quiz each other, only long-distance relationship simmers can have virtual dates etc...

I'm experiencing some weird bugs!

Let me know, please.

Hello! I've got some children sims, and am wondering if there's any way for them to access the Relationship edits? I mean the "puppy love" or "childhood sweethearts" types? Or is the entirety of the edits only available to adult sims? (thus far i have 2 small families in the 1 household and all of the Adults have access but the 2 children dont) And do Teens and/or Young Adults get any of the choices either? Thanks in advance!

Exception when applying action for loot (ValueError: Trying to use DoubleSimResolver with unsupported participant: ParticipantType.Listeners)

Elizabeth Nicole

Hi, what kind of conflict are you getting??

Maple Bell

Hi, I could be wrong, but I believe this mod is conflicting with a.deep.indigo new mod: family connections

Elizabeth Nicole

Hmm curious 🤔. That’s unfortunate, but thanks for letting me know. I’m gonna figure out what’s going on :)

Maple Bell

I absolutely love this mod and really want to use it. However it broke the Relationship panel, Sentiments were not showing at all. When I removed it, Sentiments showed again. Any idea what it could be?

Thank you! i will share the link!

Maple Bell

Thank you! i will share the link!

Maple Bell

Thank you! And thank you for bringing this issue up. It probably has to do with the image tuning. I'm working on updating a lot of my mods and I will also work on fixing this. Thanks! :)

Maple Bell

Hii i was able to solve the issue!!

Hey, thanks a lot! Do you know if you have XML injector properly installed? That's usually the reason why these interactions don't show up. Let me know :)

Maple Bell

Thank you!

Maple Bell

lea

Best mod everrrrr

Radah Gharbi

Yay I’m glad! 🥳

Maple Bell

It works now thank you so much!

Amber E

Ok thank you

Cathy T

Thanks a lot, yes you can mix and match! 😊

Maple Bell

Hey, thank you so much, and sorry about that. I've updated the mod to be compatible with the XML injector. This error should hopefully not show up anymore, let me know though! :))

Maple Bell

I cant get this mod to work. I must be doing something wrong, I keep getting "'Scripts/maplebell_custombits_injector' (Scripts.maplebell_custombits_injector) No module named 'maplebell_injector'" in BE. This is such a cool idea though and I hope everyone is having fun playing with this mod

Amber E

Great mod idea, can you mix n match the different relationship bits, eg high school sweethearts and study buddies together or would one replace the other
