As much as I love CK2 I've always found the way that the traits were set up by Paradox to be basically lacking. I've now made a complete overhaul of the way that the traits work. It is my eventual intention to add a whole raft of new traits to the game by expanding this mod. The mod as mentioned makes a huge number of (justified and positive) changes to the mod, too many to mention but I'll point out a few.
*Being chaste does not reduce fertility because fertility controls whether you impregnate your spouse or getting pregnant and it is senseless that being monogamous would reduce the odds of this happening. Being diligant on the other hand does reduce fertility because you are too busy working to pay much attention to your spouse.
*Traits that involve fresh air and excersise make you healthier. Being a glutton and a drunkard is decidedly unhealthy.
*Evil traits reduce piety and Good traits give you piety. Some traits give or remove more piety than others.
*The use of the spouse opinion modifer has been increased as well as sex appeal, injury scarring and mutilation traits tend to reduce your sex appeal but often they are considered positively by spouses because they have a somewhat less shallow view of these things and know 'the backstory' as it were. However this never makes you more attractive than you would otherwise be except unavoidably in women beyond childbearing age that do not register sex appear bonuses or penalties.
*Syphillis now spreads rapidly to spouses and lovers.

I've playtested it and it does not ruin game balance as far as I can see.
