Teaching myself C# for this purpose

I've started several new colonies to see if I can figure out what I'm doing wrong. Can your first three colonists have these trait? Will the traits show up if I spawn pawnsin development mode?

I had this problem when I extracted with winrar. Go into the mods file and click on the traits folder and open it. The folder is called something like "Traits.v2" and inside that is another folder called "Traits". You need to take "Traits" out of the "Traits.v2" folder and put it into the Mods folder. 

I'm not sure I've explained that very well, but it's worth looking at.

Yep that fixed it. Thanks!

I've actually just finished the Wiki page for this mod
More Traits

You're a saint, ta!

[MrRocket50]

What you guys think about these:

Gothic:
The goths have a different way to see the death. The mood not affected by watching someone die, corpses. Etc. And the penalty for having friends and pets killed is reduced.

Artistic:
The artist have good skill for art creation... but not much skills for anything else.

Materialistic:
Somewhat hard to deal, this guy want to live in luxury, the penalty for eating nutrient paste/raw food and living in a ugly place is higher.

sloppy:
They aren't affected by dirty places.

Childish:
The mind of this dude lives in another world. They don't act like adults and loves fun a lot. The social skill is totally degraded.

[TheFlameTouched]

Sweet suggestions everyone. I'll be working on them today and tomorrow and seeing where my limitations lie. I'm rather enjoying doing this and you can expect an update on Monday or Tuesday hopefully with "special" traits working.

[TheFlameTouched]

Shameless update bump.

[lilymortis]

Yippee!

[Peppsen]

I updated the wiki page so you can check out the new traits over here
Let me know if there's any mistakes or you could edit yourself

Wow. You work incredibly fast :/ I'm in awe.

installed the mod, started a new game but no new traits appear when I'm randomizing colonists. do they appear only on new people in-game?

They should appear at all times as soon as you install the mod

They should be appearing on all colonists, including starting ones. Check that you've installed it correctly, with it being Mods>Trait Pack>About and Defs.

Aside from that, I don't want to insult you by suggesting you forgot to activate it c:
