Effete (from the "Infertile" line)
Distrusts Technology (from the "Bad Engineer" line)

I doublechecked, and there are no triggers left for either of these trait lines.

What am I missing?

Have you removed them from the export_vnvs file as well?

Also I've found that the first time round after modding the traits files some of my characters have strange traits appearing for them (such as female-only traits and that kind of thing)
