Control your followers' traits with this quality-of-life mod.
Originally part of Cult of QoL, these trait features grew substantial enough to deserve their own dedicated mod.
Control whether special/crossover traits can appear in trait pools:
Each unique trait has two options:
Additional option:
Control how many traits followers receive:
Vanilla behavior is 2-3 traits for new followers (randomly chosen between min and max), with a cap of 6 during re-indoctrination. Increase these values to give followers more traits (limited to 8 due to UI constraints). The maximum setting also affects re-indoctrination, removing the vanilla cap of 6.
Note: If "Use Unlocked Traits Only" is enabled and you don't have enough traits unlocked, followers may receive fewer traits than the minimum. A warning will appear in the log when this happens.
Control how likely each trait is to appear on new followers. Each trait has a weight slider from 0 to 100. Weights are relative to each other.
Localization: Trait names display in your current game language alongside the internal name, e.g. "Lover of Cold (Chionophile)". Names update automatically when you change languages. Traits with missing translations are marked with an asterisk (*), indicating they are not fully implemented in the game itself.
Understanding the math: With "Use All Traits Pool" enabled, there are ~85 traits competing. If all are at weight 1 and you set Immortal to weight 50, the probability is: 50/(84+50) ≈ 37% per follower. At weight 100: 100/(84+100) ≈ 54% per follower.
The trait list is dynamically generated from the game, so new traits added by the developers will automatically appear in the config.
Each trait in the configuration shows which game lists it belongs to at the end of the description, e.g. "Found in: Starting, Rare, Faithful". Traits not in any pool show "Granted via other means (rituals, events, etc.)". This helps you understand which traits are safe to disable without affecting unlocks.
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Starting | Naturally appears on new followers (default pool) |
| Rare | 20% chance to appear instead of a third starting trait |
| Faithful | Granted when a follower becomes faithful (spider web interaction) |
| Unique | Special reward traits - only one follower can have each (Immortal, Disciple, etc.) |
| Single | Only one follower in your cult can have this trait at a time |
| Sin | Sin traits (requires Pleasure Shrine from Sins of the Flesh DLC) |
| DLC | Requires DLC content to be active |
| Winter | Winter/seasons-specific traits |
| Event | Granted through gameplay events (marriage, parenting, criminal, etc.) |
| Unlock | Requires at least one boss defeated |
Traits can belong to multiple categories. For example, [Single, Starting] means the trait appears in the starting pool but only one follower can have it.
Some traits are excluded from the weights list because they require special game state or are granted through gameplay events:
Always Excluded (cannot be randomly assigned):
| Trait | Reason |
|---|---|
| Spy | Requires SpyJoinedDay to be set or followers leave immediately |
| BishopOfCult | Story-related, granted when converting a bishop |
Event Traits (excluded by default, enable "Include Event Traits" to add them). Note: "Include Event Traits" only applies when "Use All Traits Pool" is enabled:
| Category | Traits |
|---|---|
| Marriage | MarriedHappily, MarriedUnhappily, MarriedJealous, MarriedMurderouslyJealous |
| Parenting | ProudParent, OverworkedParent |
| Widowing | HappilyWidowed, GrievingWidow, JiltedLover |
| Criminal | CriminalEvangelizing, CriminalHardened, CriminalReformed, CriminalScarred |
| Missionary | MissionaryExcited, MissionaryInspired, MissionaryTerrified |
| Special | ExCultLeader, ExistentialDread |
| DLC/Snowman | InfusibleSnowman, MasterfulSnowman, ShoddySnowman |
| DLC/Other | MutatedVisual, PureBlood, PureBlood_1/2/3, FreezeImmune |
