UPDATE: Give a Heartfelt Hug is a platonic way to show affection to your loved ones. It works between family (the Friends Edition also covers friends), unlocks at 50 relationship points, and always succeeds with a warm "Big Hug" buff. It's built on the game's existing hug animations, so adults and children can both give and receive a hug. I added a little animation I made since I couldn't find the game animation for child to child hugs. This is my first animation but I figured it would be better than no hug! I hope it looks good enough!

Adds an "I love you" option so your Zois can say it to the people they love. It appears in the Romance menu for partners and in the Affection menu for family. It isn't a guaranteed win and rejection is possible depending on the relationship level.

Who can use it:

Partners - dating, engaged, or married Zois (teen and older)
Family - parents and children, siblings, and grandparents and grandchildren (child and older)

Relationship level matters:
The option stays hidden until the relationship reaches 30. Strained or distant relationships don't get it, such as a sibling pair who don't get along. The odds of the other Zoi saying it back depend on how close they are:

Relationship 30-49: ~60% they say it back
Relationship 50-74: ~85% they say it back
Relationship 75+: always said back

If they say it back:
Both Zois play a warm reaction, and the relationship goes up by 10. Both also get a "Feeling Loved" mood (shows in game as Moved) for about two hours: "Those three little words reminded you how much you mean to each other."

If they don't:
The other Zoi plays a refusal reaction and the relationship drops by 3. The Zoi who said it gets a short "Left Hanging" sad mood for about an hour: "They didn't say it back, and your heart sank a little." The one who turned them down gets no mood.
