Okay, so after handling my other problems with CTD (fresh install, finally found the first CD for my RTW, so no more no-cd patches). I apply all the fixes I wanted, which turns out, was all of them.

And NOW every new character, whether suitor, or coming of age has NO traits. Completely blank slate, not even the Sharp/Chrasimatic/Langurous or whatever. Also, no new traits are being given out.

Haven't tried a new game yet, but this is the case with my old saves.

Any thoughts?
