This mod provides some flexibility to the kissing functionality of Stardew Valley.

Current features include:

Free Love

Kisses and hugs are differentiated by sound and emoji; by default there is no hug sound, and the emoji is a smiley face rather than a heart.

To revert the custom kissing sound back to default, set "CustomKissSound": "", in the config.json file.

Limitations

For NPCs to kiss and hug each other, they need to be datable (or the special roommate), simply because other NPCs don't have the right pose on their tilesheet. So, by default Emily and Haley can hug, but Caroline and Pierre can't kiss (the latter don't have the right poses for it).

If you have a mod that adds these poses, you can disable this restriction in the config file. You can also set a custom pose frame for a given NPC, following the examples in the config file.
