[b]Important notice[/b]
If you are subscribing to this mod for the first time, please read the trait descriptions at least once to have a rough idea of what you are getting. These traits are carefully designed to have gameplay impact and RP flavour, and they can sometimes affect your pawns in unexpected ways. It is better to read the infographics now than spend hours scratching your head thinking your game is broken. (For example, Procrastinator pawns might idle if you do not schedule them to work in the timetable. Zen pawns cannot start a battle because they only attack in retaliate.)
If you get a pawn with a new trait that you think you will recruit but are uncertain what it fully does, feel free to come back and read about it here. I am not planning to add detailed descriptions in‑game, because this follows how [b]vanilla[/b] and other large trait mods handle their traits.
For minmaxers, there is now a wiki page where every trait is explained in detail, including its exact mechanics and numbers.

[b]What's the mod[/b]
Part I – Adds traits inspired by The Sims games, I plan to add more in the future.
Part II – Patches some of my favourite traits from the Vanilla Expanded mod to make them more useful. You’ll still need to install the original VE mod for this part to work.
(An toggle-off function is now added if you prefer to use the original VE trait. This should give you the flexibility to switch between my patch and the original as you wish.)
10/12/2025 added support for trait icons.

The map defog effect of the 'Observant' trait has been redesigned and removed as of 26/11/2025. Now, the pawn has a small chance to spot a random trade ship when using the telescope instead.

Q: Will you add more traits?
A: Yes, as mentioned in the first part.
Q: Can you add XYZ traits?
A: You can leave a comment with your ideas, but I cannot guarantee anything since I’m just a commissioner. I also have my own personal preferences, so if I don’t like an idea, it’s unlikely to be added. You can always go to the market Discord and commission your own mod.
Q: Is XYZ compatible?
A: I don’t know. I don’t play with CE, and my mod list is fairly light (250+). If errors occur, please leave a log, but I’m unlikely to create compatibility patches from my end.
