Working with Max Trait Limits
drycat:
I'm just beginning to work with the DLL's and wanted to change the max number of traits allowable for teens and younger. I know that the Awesome mod makes it possible to have unlimited traits for adult and older. I am running into some problems locating where the max number of traits is set in the Sims3GameplaySystems.dll. I have managed to find what looked like the proper method, Get_MaxTraitsFor(this.age), but every call and instance I search through does not seem to contain the code I'm looking for. I am going to assume that the value for the max traits is somewhere defined in the Sims Descriptiopn file.
But, I could really use some hints or just plain telling me where to look :P..
;D

I have a mod that caps off at 20 along with some other versions. There are separate amounts for toddler, child, teen, young adult, adult and elder. You can find it here: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=410544.
You can use this with or without AM installed. If you use it without AM, you have to have Twallan's Master Controller installed.

Thanks for the reply Rainbow. I did stumble onto that XML mod at ModTheSims. I guess this means that the actual maxtraits variables get set by tunable XML files. And you're right it definitely works well, and it is easily modable for any number of traits you desire. I was beating my ehad against the wall looking for the variables in code, and not finding them. I guess this makes more sense in retrospect ::)

Which really makes sense that you would put variables with ranges in seperate files that can be tweaked by users.

Changing the basic maximum trait limits is not advised, because then every single new NPC generated will also have a metric assload of traits. Sims shouldn't have that much personality unless they're based on an actual person.
