NOTICE and Installation

To install the mod, open the zip folder and extract the files into your Mods folder on in one subfolder in that directory. Multiple subfolders will disrupt the game's ability to read the script file. It's best practice to keep all the package files and script files from a single mod in the same folder. You MUST keep the main package file and ts4script file, but you can delete any of the traits that you do not wish to use.

ATTENTION: I have renamed all of the files, so please DO NOT rely on overwriting the files, or else you will end up with two versions of the same traits which will cause conflicts. Please DELETE all old versions of the files before installing the new version.

Note to Translators

All traits have at least one new string to translate, to match how Maxis describes the reason for whims and holiday tradition preferences showing up. Some traits with new interactions and buffs have a few more (Restless, Insecure, Daydreamer, Oblivious, Stoic). Obviously, the new Coward trait has an entirely new set of strings. All string tables are now kept in the main file instead of the individual trait files to make it easier to add translations to the mod.
