📋 About This Mod

New Vegas has two Traits with opposite effects (Fast Shot and Trigger Discipline) so I decided to expand that idea to the game's other Traits. The added Traits also incorporate the hidden effects of their counterparts. I really don't know how two opposite Traits will interact; in the base game, choosing both Fast Shot and Trigger Discipline actually doesn't cause them to cancel out; rather, it results in a decrease to both accuracy and fire rate, so I advise not doing this unless you want to experiment. NOW WITH 100% LESS SPELLING ERRORS!

Traits added by this mod:

Walking Tank

+25% less limb damage

(Opposite of Small Frame)

Built to Last

+Weapon condition decays 15% slower

-3% chance to critically hit

+2 Damage Threshold

(+Hidden effect: +15 DR)

(Opposite of Kamikaze)

One Inch Punch

+60% critical damage with Unarmed and Melee Weapons

-20% Unarmed and Melee Weapon damage

(Opposite of Heavy Handed)

Ultra Violence

+5 Guns, Energy Weapons, Melee, Unarmed, & Explosives

-5 Speech, Medicine, Repair, Barter, & Science

(Opposite of Good Natured)

+25% Range with thrown weapons

-30% Attack speed with thrown weapons

(-Hidden effect: +30% AP cost with thrown weapons in VATS)

(Opposite of Loose Cannon)

NEW! Old World Blues Opposite Traits:

Agoraphobia

+1 to all SPECIAL while indoors

-1 to all SPECIAL while outdoors

(Opposite of Claustrophobia)

+2 to all SPECIAL from 6pm to 12am

-1 to all SPECIAL from 6am to 12pm

(Opposite of Early Bird)

+1 to all SPECIAL while carry weight is below 160 lbs

-25 lbs carry weight

(Opposite of Hoarder)

+10% XP gained

-5 to all Skills

(Opposite of Skilled)

(This perk implements a fix similar to that of Loose Cannon from YUP, but does not require YUP, nor does it edit Loose Cannon itself; this fixes the perk not applying to the Incendiary Grenade and Throwing Knife Spear.)

Shouldn't have any incompatibilities, and requires nothing except the base game. I may make custom perk icons in the future.
NOTE: Screenshots include Traits from the More Perks mod, which are NOT included.
