This mod prevents sims from greeting each other with the Euro kiss that EP1 introduced.
 
EP1 is required to use this mod.
This mod is compatible with EP2, EP3 & FFS/GLS.
I try to ensure that all of my mods are 100% bug free but sometimes a bug pops up that I wasn’t aware of; If you find a bug please send me a private message; I can usually fix it within a couple of minutes.

Umm, just what may I ask is the Euro kiss?

Kiss on the cheeks probably

Seems like you're not so certain, either. :lol:

Not 100% sure that is true lol.  But it would make sense since this is the way European greets people.

That kiss on the cheek that EP1 introduced the name of the code is Euro Kiss.

Yeah! I was right lol.

Just curious, because I hadn't noticed this yet, but does this euro kiss cause jealousy? Or is it still a platonic kiss?

Ste

Nope, it's platonic. Which makes sense, even for Maxis. lol I use it all the time with my closer acuaintances/friends :p

Yes, it is. But europeans have many different "euro-kiss". Latins (like Italians, Frenchs and Spains) uses normally one kiss on each cheek, Anglosaxons and nordics in general only one, and finally eastern europeans as Russians, often use three, the final one on the closed mouth or on the first cheek used before.

Finally, Italians only ( :D :D ) prefer to kiss women only one time, but directly with a "deep kiss". ;)

Can you tell me what triggers a euro kiss verses any other type of greeting? I personally like the euro kiss and would prefer it over all other type of kisses (for greetings) and wish it were enabled for both males and females. I have never seen two females euro kiss upon greeting.

Three "attraction" bolts, often trigger the euro kiss.
Normally between sims of different gender, due the gender prefence bias of the game.
I never tried, but I think it's possible to have the euro kiss also for two females if:
1. they have both a great sexual preference for females.
2. they have (consequentely) three attraction bolts for each other.

oh bummer I didnt realize this was a chemistry thing, as I know a lot of people who euro kiss their good friends, family - not potential lovers. oh well, thanks for the reply!

I see you are no priest yourself  :laugh:

YEAH!

:rofl:

So then what do Americans do? Go straight for groping?
 
:hides court documents showing I have groped a few dozen people against their will:

I like the Euro-kiss.  I've found it to be very natural, but maybe that's because I'm from Miami :)  I have noticed Sims greet each other this way when they have high enough attraction scores, but I've never really noticed anything having to do with the lightning bolts or attraction before.

I don't think any of the greetings cause jealousy I have never had it happen anyway.

I've had best friends of a sim do the Euro Kiss to each other. It doesn't matter if they are attracted or not.

You know, I think Americans are quite fuddy duddy at times.  I mean, here in America people connotate nude beaches with pervs.  In Europe they are no big thing.

We seldom hug or kiss good friends when we greet them.  I don't know if it is the French influence or what, but the only Americans I know who are more open with their affections are some Cajuns I know.

What the hell means "groping"?
By my dictionary seems "go forward moving arms like a blind", but....

great thanx

ROFL

Works for me.

IcemanTO - Groping = grabbing someone's butt or anything else.

Thanks, Rogue
now I understand well Kathy's second line! :D :D :D

That is just too sad. I kiss and hug my friends.

Maybe this could be my last post (don't :banplz: )....

...can I be your friend? ;)

lmao Ok you can be my friend

The only reason I don't like it is because my male sims greet other male sims with that kiss :)

I thought the euro kiss was a straight (no pun intended!) kiss on the cheeks by the sims.

Or does this mean that full-on kiss when 3 bolt greeting, even if friend only and they are MARRIED (no jealousy or falling in love, thank goodness)??? Because that greeting I'd consider getting rid of, gender irrelevant.

I have many of your mods Squinge, but I'm rather very fond of seeing male-male affection and a little kissy on the cheeks is nothing to get all fussed about :P  (Points to avatar sig) so will give this one a miss if it's only that.

WOW! :love1: :love10: :blob6: :love7:

** purchasing an air ticket to Pittsburg **

:) Same here. I have a thing for buff military sims, and how weird it is to see them doing that kissy thing. (??!!) :tard:

Aren't German men greeting this way?

We were raised differently in America, Europeans see nothing wrong in 2 men kissing cheek for greetings.  I don't personally mind either.

As said in my first post here, cheek kissing for men is normally but not often used by latins europeans (Italians, French and Spanish), more often by balcanics and eastern eurpoeans and finally very low used by Germans and Northerns in general. I can say this quite sure due my journeys around Europe in the past.

It all comes to personal preference, really :) Some of us like the "typical male" and some have wide cultural values. Don't think the simmies give a damn one way or another though, it's just us control freaks that like things just so.

gee, germans didn't use the euro kiss at all, but it's increasing now I guess.

/me never kisses strangers

so its back to the greet with hand gesture thing?

no there are still the romantic hugs & kisses.

The Euro Kiss didn't bother me at first -- till I saw two of my story-villains greet each other in this manner, which was very out-of-character for them. Thank you very much for this hack!

I just opened this thread for the first time - I thought "Euro Kiss" was a new politically correct term for French Kiss.  LOL!

There are several no jealousy mods out there. Jealousy can be turned off with the InSIMenator, Squinge has a no jealousy for Romance or Pleasure Aspirations, LizzLove has a global no jealousy mod, there are probably more but I can't remember them all, lol. :)

Great stuff Squinge, your mods rock.

Any chance you could make a version that disables the euro kiss for male-to-male greetings and enables it for female-to-either gender greetings?

Being french myself, I can just tell this..."euro kiss", is used in france by male toward female usually, but on some occasions we kiss this way male-to-male on celebrations like birthdays or Christmas...In particular when people are familiar and are acquaintances.

Otherwise, male french usualy shake hands. By the way, this kiss has no particular naming besides the fact itself : "embrasser sur les joues" or more usualy "faire la bise".:)

This thread is a little old but I just wanted to add my two cents.  I just wanted to say that my sims do get jealous over greeting kisses but I've never noticed any romantic connatations with the euro-kiss.  My sims use it a lot.  I have one female sim who usually greets her mother this way.  I play with General Buzz Grunt in Strangetown though and it's really funny when he euro-kiss greets this one CAS neighbor of his who has the body builder meshed biker outfits.  That's a sight to see.
