Would you be able to make a version that raises the cap to like 10 instead of removing it entirely? I really like the mod but I'm finding that my rulers who live to 70-80 end up with a silly amount of traits, and it's also almost impossible to get rid of negative traits as well. I know it wouldn't remove the RNG, but I feel like just having a higher trait cap would make the random losing of traits not so egregious, and would allow for more character development without going overboard.

Another idea: I'm assuming it wouldn't be feasible based on comments below, but it would be rad if you could somehow give older traits a higher weight when deciding which trait gets randomly cut, so that you don't end up losing that trait you just picked up like 2 months ago.

In any case, thanks for the mod, it's still a sight better than vanilla regardless of the issues.

How compatible is this mod with HIP? (Or is there a HIP-compatible version?)

This mod causes your dynasty bloodlines to disappear that you add from ruler creation.

Wow! Thanks! I really needed this to make my god like character. This will save me SO much effing around in the files.

it would be possible but it would be a lot of work to track down every event that adds a trait and change the mtth on all of them, and you would need to make patches for every mod your running that adds events which add traits if you wanted it to be consistent, so it would be way too much work, and it would almost certainly get destroyed every single update, but the good news is there are no more updates.

Good mod, but old characters end up with 10+ traits which imo goes into the other extreme, which isn't good either.

I think the best thing would be to increase the cap to 6 and just decrease the probability of the RNG event.
Would it be hard for me to do such from the game file directly?

does it work with HIP?

I took a look and its not compatible with elder kings. Elder kings makes some changes to the personality trait events file.

idk if elder kings adds its own events in these vanilla files i guess it probably does not, but maybe it ads its own trait cap events for its own traits i would need to look at elder kings to be sure

compatible with elder kings?

it changes the trigger for the events to always = no so NPCs shouldn't get the trait removing events either

Does this only applies to player or for all?

thank you

I don't know if its something with my game but I still get the events for the softcap just they are very rare. Playing with the Elder Scrolls Overhaul mod

just did some testing, this mod is still working downloading from Steam, but there were a Couple of bugs in the NSE download that prevented the mod from loading which have now been fixed

I dont know why but game dont recognize/find the mod. I have the latest version (3.3.3), and I install it in the right place (mod folder of crusader kings II folder). I drag the file "Trait softcap exterminated" nothing happens. I drag the contents of the file, again nothing, the game still dont recognize the mod. What am i doing wrong?

PS1: I have ALL dlcs!
PS2: I dont have the ck2 plus mode, so no, I didnt pick the wrong version of the mod.

@Gelcressor, have you uploaded the mod here? I have just started playing Faerun and would very much like it, but I can't seem to find it.

Yes but you would need a different file for it and you would have to change the event weights so it doesn't fire all the time, unless you want the game to remove all the traits from every character

Is there a way to keep these events in the game, but to make sure they only come up as random events and not whenever you get over 5 personality traits?

of course not i think its better for everyone when more people develop mods and share them i am guilty of doing the same there are some mods you just cant live without and if your going to make your own copy its nice to share it crediting is a must but letting me know is just a nice bonus thanks for that.

i don't think there is a proper convention for it but you should be safe legally in the case of paradox mods and as long as your polite which you are then you shouldn't upset people either.

I made a Faerun-compatible version of this mod. Would you have any issues with it if I upload it on the workshop and credit you for the original idea?

I'm not entirely sure what the proper protocol/convention would be, since I'm new to uploading mods.

no

does this work with achievements?

yeb i just appear not so long after i comment

all mods need to be enabled sometimes steam forgets to download them try closing the game unsubscribing and resubscribing then open the launcher again and it should be downloaded

is this mod don't need to enble ? don't seem to find it in mod tab

Nice, thank you!

just checked the files with the latest version and it looks like they are exactly the same except for my changes so it is fully compatible with 3.3.3 SOHY

Anyone care to confirm this still works with the latest version of vanilla game? Thx.

Of course! Asking you to support old versions would be silly.

heres a super old version https://drive.google.com/open?id=1E9g1fbany47BTmw78qD3F4KHmo2vEScm

please don't complain if it doesn't work i don't want to download old versions of CK2 to support old versions of CK2

So if possible, could you please provide a link to version 2.3?

Unlimited Lifestyle Traits is done my script didn't work with most of the DLC stuff so i had to do a lot more work to get the other half of the Lifestyle events working and life kept getting in the way so there were lots of delays but finally i have finished it there's a link in the description

Unless you're missing a version, it sounds like I was probably using 2.3. Any chance you can hook me up?

i have 3.3 and 3.2.1 and 2.3 interestingly it looks like this is still the 3.2.1 version and no one has complained yet i don't like the like the idea of remaking obsolete mods but whats the other small handful of mods i might update them to 3.3 instead if there simple enough

Hi! Odd request, but I'm wondering if you have previous versions of this mod available? My small handful of mods haven't been updated in ages and I'd rather miss out on some of the newer content then have my mods no longer work. I've had this mod installed for ages, but built a new computer. The last version I played on was 3.0.1.1.

Do you have any version from between 3.0 and it?

I came up with a few simple find+replace scripts in notepad++ that should be safe
i can remove the lifestyle trait limit and the bit that stops lifestyle event chains from starting while there is still a flag from one so you can have two going at once if your lucky and it means you still get events even if the flag somehow gets stuck

and i think i dealt with the DLC stuff idk though maybe some of it should be turned off needs testing but this new mod would conflict with the mods that usually turn those events back on so it needs to be able to replace them or you wouldn't be able to have both features

Then there's the Way of Life DLC changes to take into account...
I'm so sorry.

I'm very grateful that you're doing this.

i already made the .PNG file though so i have to make to the mod now

ugh they have made it annoying alot of the lifestyle events are triggered by other events creating interesting event chains problem is that means i have to search for traits and the event IDs for other events triggering those events so i can change all the triggers to have them fire in order regardless of current lifestyle traits

otherwise the events would fire without the rest of the event chain and it would be more boring then vanilla

Thank you very much for replying.

Others have requested it, but no such mod currently exists. In vanilla, lifestyle event chains will not trigger for characters who already have a lifestyle trait. However, it is possible to gain more than one by certain events that grant them despite not being lifestyle events, or with the Ruler Designer.
I wish you well in finding all the lifestyle events. There's 83 of them!

I don’t think so.

pretty sure i would have to track down all the lifestyle events and change all of them for that sounds like its too much for this mod but i could search for all the lifestyle traits in notepad++ and make a new mod that way is there no other mod already doing that?

Could you also allow multiple lifestyle traits to be gained through lifestyle events?

if only money was that easy to get if i had the money i would gift everyone 2080tis

If I had the money I'd gift it to you so you could make mods sooner.

idk probably but it depends on things like does CK3 have a trait cap in the first place?
does CK3 have a good enough modding API or will they lock it down so they can sell more stuff as DLC?

i probably will if CK3 turns out well but i would have to buy CK3 to use Steamworkshop so even then it might not happen until like a year later when its updated enough and on sale enough for me to think its worth buying

are you planning on transferring this mod over to CK3 when it comes out?

maybe steam workshop is pretty buggy it does sometimes mess up mods the guy before you had to restart his game for it to download and i had to delete one of my other mods because steam broke it and wouldn't let me update it to a unbroken version

also keep in mind the mod doesn' remove every event that takes away your nice traits it only removes the random events that take a single random trait when you have more then 5 personality traits

None of mine seem to edit that file. Is it me, or is it steam messing up the mod? It has done that some times.
