📋 About This Mod
Turns the following perks: Lady Killer, Confirmed Bachelor, Black Widow, Cherchez La Femme into Traits.
DESCRIPTION:
From a roleplay perspective, I always saw these perks as a way to determine your character's sexual orientation so it made more sense to me to have them as traits instead of perks. An INI file is available with options such as your player's sexual orientation.
SEXUAL ORIENTATION (INI FILE):
HETEROSEXUAL: Men receives Lady Killer, Black Widow for Women.
HOMOSEXUAL: Men receives Confirmed Bachelor, Cherchez La Femme for Women.
BISEXUAL:
Men receives Lady Killer and Confirmed Bachelor, Black Widow and Cherchez La Femme for Women.
ASEXUAL:
None of the traits are granted and they are hidden from the trait menu.
If any of those settings is chosen, the traits will be hidden from the Perk Tab (configurable in the INI file).
RECOMMENDED:
In lStewieAl's Tweaks set bNoSkillTags and iRemoveTags to 1.
Orientation Perks as Traits by Nehred converts four perks—Lady Killer, Confirmed Bachelor, Black Widow, and Cherchez La Femme—into traits, freeing up perk slots for other choices. A simple, focused overhaul for players who want to diversify their build without losing these situational bonuses.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Frees up four perk slots for more build variety—solid QoL for roleplayers.
- Community-tested with 223 endorsements and nearly 5k downloads.
- Lightweight and focused; does exactly what it says without bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in March 2022—may be outdated for the latest game patches.
- Only affects four perks; if you don't use them, this mod does nothing for you.
For players who like to min-max their perk loadout and hate wasting slots on situational dialogue perks. Also great for roleplayers who want those perks without the opportunity cost. Skip if you never take those perks or prefer gameplay overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips

- If you're using a mod manager, enable this mod and check that the traits appear in-game before starting a new playthrough.
- Since it changes traits, it's best to start a new character to see the effects clearly.
