So, last week, I made a list of suggestions in the suggestion forum describing how I thought personality traits should be rebalanced. I am of the opinion that quite a few traits are basically no-brainers to either choose or avoid. This results in heirs/children that are educated by the player having roughly the same spread of traits, and the same thing happens when personality trait events happen to the player character when he or she is an adult. To rectify that, I believe that every personality trait should have some sort of upside, and some sort of downside, and have made this mod based on my list of suggestions. This fits, in my opinion, with Paradox's stated policy/ideal/goal/(I can't recall the correct word) that every decision should be meaningful and important, not non-decisions.
That out of the way, here is the feature list for this mod: (for ease of reference, here is the wiki's list of traits in vanilla.)
Update:
Update 2:
Update for 2.5.2:
Please see the suggestion thread for my reasoning behind these changes.

Please report any bugs in this thread. Thank you.
That out of the way, here is the feature list for this mod: (for ease of reference, here is the wiki's list of traits in vanilla.)
- Chaste: Added Vassal Opinion +5
- Lustful: Removed +1 to Intrigue
- Temperate: Added penalty to Moral Defense of led troops: -10%
- Gluttonous: Now allows use of Carousing Focus's "Invite to Party" decision without Focus being active. (Still requires WoL DLC.)
- Charitable: Added penalty to global taxes: -10%
- Greedy: Unchanged from vanilla
- Diligent: Removed +10 Vassal Opinion. Added -10 Vassal Opinion.
- Slothful: Removed -10 Vassal Opinion. Added +10 Vassal Opinion.
- Kind: Added penalty to Damage dealt by led troops: -15%. Now unlocks Timid Advance combat tactic.
- Envious: Reduces MTTH for the character's chancellor to fabricate a claim.
- Patient: Now unlocks Hesitant Commander combat tactic.
- Wroth: Can now Rival characters who have dishonored you (If taken, can no longer imprison the offender). Now allows use of the War Focus's "Duel" decision without Focus being active. (Still requires WoL DLC.)
- Humble: Unchanged from Vanilla
- Proud: Added -1 to Diplomacy
- Deceitful: Unchanged from Vanilla.
- Honest: Unchanged from Vanilla.
- Craven: Tooltip now indicates modified chances of being killed, injured, or captured in combat.
- Brave: Added triggered modifier: -0.5 Prestige per month when at war and not leading troops (Also applies if liege is at war.) Tooltip now indicates modified chances of being killed, injured, or captured in combat.
- Shy: Now allows character to go into hiding without being plotted against.
- Gregarious: Added -1 to Intrigue. Characters are now more likely to spill the beans if included in a plot.
- Ambitious: Added -20 Vassal Opinion.
- Content: Added +5 Vassal Opinion.
- Just: Unchanged from Vanilla.
- Arbitrary: Added "No CB" CB. This CB targets neighboring counties (or counties up to two sea tiles away), reduces prestige by -250 when used, and has a cooldown timer. Additionally, use of the CB generates a -12 global opinion penalty. (Planned: high Infamy cost when declaring this war, when the next DLC is released.) Added -2 to Diplomacy
- Zealous: Adds Revolt Risk +10% to wrong religion provinces (Religious Intolerance.)
- Cynical: Added +5 Infidel Opinion.
- Paranoid: Can always go into hiding or send others into hiding, even without knowing of any murder plots against them. Tooltip now indicates modified chance of being imprisoned after combat.
- Trusting: Added +10 Vassal Opinion.
- Cruel: Can now use "Blind Prisoner" and "Castrate Prisoner" without being in Byzantine culture group. Added "Maim Prisoner" decision. (Still requires LoR DLC.)
- AI Characters are now more likely to castrate Master Seducers, if they have access to the decision.
Update:
- Altered Perceived Cowardice triggered modifier: No longer triggers on children or non-Cathar Women.
- Put timer on going into hiding with Shy to reduce message/alert spam
Update 2:
- Altered Perceived Cowardice triggered modifier: Now triggers for women of Basque culture, women of the Messalian religion, and characters with the special_marshal character flag.
- Altered on-action events for Zealous RR events: Apparently Paradox uses bi-yearly to mean once every two years, not twice a year. Moved the events to yearly pulse.
Update for 2.5.2:
- Adjusted opinion values for consistency with vanilla (most modifiers giving more than 10 were halved)
- Added Threat to the Arbitrary no CB CB. It is currently set to 7 Threat from war dec, which I feel is painful enough to be felt, but not so painful that one will never want to use it. Threat will also be gained upon victory, as is normal.
- Changed name that shows up in the launcher to "Rebalanced Personality Traits for 2.5.2", so the version number would be visible in the launcher (it was getting cut off before.)
Please see the suggestion thread for my reasoning behind these changes.
