Trats Plus
What this mod does:
- Adds about 15 new backstories and some 50 traits to the pool. The traits vary a lot. From rarer stuff with a lot of impact to a pawn, to smaller traits boosting or nerfing a stat. Jobs, skills, stats, thoughts and mood are all changed in different ways.
I also focus a a lot on making the social aspects intertwine better with the traits, so people with similar interests or jobs are more positive towards each other and moody people have a harder time making friends.
