Does more happier make sense?

The phrase "more happier" is grammatically incorrect because "happier" is already a comparative form of the adjective "happy." Instead, one should say "happier" when comparing two things or "more happy" in certain contexts, though "happier" is more commonly used. Therefore, it’s best to say "happier" or "more happy," depending on the structure of the sentence.
