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
