Generals with bad traits

[homefry]

I know how to give traits, but I don't want my generals to pick up bad traits and bad retinues in the first place.

Is there a cheat or file modification I can do to make this happen?

theres a few basic rules you can adhere to, preventative measures that aren't cheating (such as not leaving a general in a town, only using high tax setting while in towns, no brothels/taverns line) that substantially lower the amount of bad traits you "might" pick up.

As per a mod or something to edit out bad traits entirely, i haven't heard of one myself

ROFLOL! Some times it seems that all you get are evil traits from the V&V.

No matter what precautions that are taken you can end up with bad traits. You will never convince me that V&V if not bugged is just to handicap any success a faction has.

I have been tempted to just march all my generals off a cliff like lemmings and adopt a new crop. No matter how virtuous I try to make them by buildings and so on they all turn into Royally Extravagant, Adulterous lumps of fertilizer.

I never cheat and I use all of the rules to denture this but it still happens in every game.

There also various VnV "fixes" out there that seem to blunt the most egregious vices. I'm sure if you did a search on the forum you'd find a few. In the PBM I'm in, we're using FactionHeir's fixes.

Does it work with the patches...stand alone or with other mods just fine or are there problems with anything?

The V&V is my bane... you can be dead broke and still these §*€@ go extravagant...which is my main complaint

My fixes work fine for M2TW with any patch version.

They won't work with Kingdoms campaigns though.
