I didn't realize that some (non-hidden) traits were undiscoverable! Thanks for another very useful mod!!!

I didn't know this was even a bug, BUT I noticed my brother-sister sims being unable to discover each other's social butterfly traits. I thought I was doing something wrong. Thank you!

I was wondering why my Sims couldn't discover all traits on some other Sims. I probably see it more than some might, because I have it set so all adults can have up to 15 traits, and Nraas automatically populates those of the townies. Thanks for noticing this and fixing it.

I'm wondering what difference is if I just enable these traits to be discoverable from the traits.xml in GameplayData.package. Is there any particular difference?

Also, I heard the game will freeze if a Sim find out someone has the No Sense of Humor trait. I never really encountered this because my mod enabled all traits discoverable except this one. Is this myth true? Will it occur with this mod?

Overriding traits.xml would indeed be the more accurate fix. However, I decided to change the value in a script in order to maximize compatibility in case there's another mod out there that actually overrides traits.xml. Also, having CanBeLearnedThroughConversation and CanBeLearnedRandomly set to false on any non-hidden and non-reward trait seems rather pointless IMO, so I decided to just set them to true as a catch-all solution.

I just did a little test on the No Sense of Humor trait by creating a new household with 2 people and 1 of them has that trait. Nothing unusual happened when the other sim discovered the trait. I've never heard of it causing a freeze. However, that's just from my own experience and I'm not sure if it would occur under more specific conditions.

Oh, alright. Thank you for the explanation and debunking the myth! I did realize scripting mod will not conflict with tuning mod that modifies Traits.xml. It's really nice you made a script mod out of it!

Holy crap I can actually discover all traits now! The message that pops up for those traits is a bit weird, but I really don't care as long as I can discover those traits that you couldn't discover before.

Does anyone know if this mod is safe to use with an up to date game?

The mod was built on patch 1.67, it should work fine with 1.69 also (if that's what you mean by 'up to date game').

as far as I know 1.69 made no changes to gameplay and should not break any mods except core mods.

Thanks, the last 2 traits used to be useless for my sims, without their related interactions because they never unlocked, until now.

Does this work for "shy" trait too?
