Exactly what title of thread says. What happened to new ambitions that allow you to try to lose a negative trait? I liked that feature, especially when there were no available ambitions...but I have not seen it since the latest patch.
What Happened to new ambitions that allow you to try to lose a negative trait?

We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
Way of Life can help there, focusing on Rule is a favorite of mine because it will help make you a better ruler if your new guy is a slovenly bastard. I think the family one and theology one are good too but I almost always choose Rule or War/Hunting because stewardship/martial are my favorite stats.

Only issue with the Rulership focus is you can pick up the stressed trait, so I like to get off it by the time I'm in my mid 50s. Stress can kill.
Does Conclave disable those, like it does with the other "boring" ambitions (Have Children, Get Married)?

I've never seen those before. Aren't they part of CK2+ or something?

To my knowledge they remain in the game and working just fine. They're Buddhist religion ambitions, and in a game I have running right now, there's quite a few Buddhist characters in the search window that have the ambitions active.
As far as I know they remain in the game with Conclave and working as they always have.

My bad. I picked up horse lords and way of life when I got conclave. I recently played a "Mongol" campaign, my first attempt at a tribal campaign. I just thought these were new features with one of the DLCs since ambitions were overhauled. Then with the latest patch, I've been playing as a Shia Muslim...and wondering where those ambitions went. Now I know, thank you community.

From my experience, Hunting have a high chance to remove the stressed trait so you can alternate between them to get the benefits from Rulership while keeping your character alive.
No. They have always been Buddhist only, (& therefore require Rajas) and they are still there.
(Certain ways of life & events from decisions will also get rid of negative traits (usually by trying to give you a countertrait) but thats by the by)
I thought I saw that strong/weak, quick/slow could be gained or lost in the new patch. Is this true? And if so, how would I lose the trait slow?

Well, the mechanic got amended so its actually new traits that get gained (or lost) in 2.5.2 and its in the new education system in conclave.

Going hunting or having someone who's Content in your court helps a lot.

Would be nice if they brought them to other religions. The ambition system is pretty boring now as most of the time you don't have any ambition to pursue. Usually by the time your successor inherits, unless you have a short reign or young successor, your successor is married, has children, has too much piety and prestige to pursue those ambitions. To have some new goals to pursue is always fun.

WoL Hunting focus. Wait till someone gives you a hunting dog. After some time an event will pop up that removes both stressed and depressed.

Please don't. The game now feels the same no matter where you play. We need more region specific features, not less.

Emphasis is mine. I've been experiencing a lack of ambitions since the 2.3 series of patches (when I started). Even before I got WoL (which disables the stat increasing ambitions since the foci system replaces them) it was easy to end up with no ambitions and,with successive prestige/piety boost for heirs, start with only the marriage/"have a kid" ambitions.
If you have WoL you can choose carousing which has. 30% chance to remove stressed/depressed, choose seduction to get a lover or ten to get the "comforted by lover" status which should always remove stressed/depressed, hunting and hope the hunting dog fires the event, or you can hope that a content courier successfully fires the event.
