I'm pretty sure there was a mod that adds a new trader which sells modded items and I can't find it. Perhaps it's not updated to 1.1 yet, idk. Can any one link me the mod if it exists? If not would be nice to see it in the future.

What do you mean by modded items? Items from mods should appear in vanilla trade ships if that's coded in the mod.

They sometimes do yes. But if you have a lot of mods that add a lot of items it can be difficult finding specific things. A trader that sells only or mostly modded items would help a lot actually.

A mod that allows traders to have a more diverse inventory would also be appreciated.

How the trader should know about modded items ?
It don't exist any flag for that.
You can create a custom trader, like the Robot trader from Misc. Robot.
And you can define at which trader your item should show up
<tradeTags>
<li>Robots</li>
<li>Exotic</li>
</tradeTags>

at example of the robots.

Sorry, I'm not a modder so I don't know much about how it works in the code. I guess if it's impossible to tell which items are modded, this becomes a bit difficult. Unless you just make a new type of trader that just sells random things, which I think would still be a decent solution to have a better chance at finding otherwise rare items.
