Delighted to hear it! <3

Hi everyone, I'm actively working on the massive 1.6 overhaul still. I had hoped to get it out before the release of 1.6 but there's still a little bit left to go, but it'll be out very soon!

One of the most hardcore mods out there for sure.

@Lakuna
Ooh that sounds fantastic. Will be looking forward to it!

@lol I'm actually doing a complete rewrite of this mod right now that will have the ability (configurable) to hide everything, including gear. I don't want to give an ETA because it'll be a while but probably it'll come out around when the next DLC drops.

Would be cool to do the same with gear.
Maybe by making gear tab invisible? If it makes sense

Please keep up the great work!

@Skissors_ Sure!

@Lakuna Could you please add "unknown trait" and/or "hidden trait" into the mod description? Maybe it's just me, but I'm hoping it will allow Google or Steam search to actually find this mod, for dummies like me who constantly forget names of things.

Google and Steam SEO apparently hate this mod, cause they refused to find this for me, unless I specifically add "Well Met" into the search lol. Instead they prefer Stranger Danger and People Can Change! I enabled nearly 400 mods, and completely forgot what this mod was called when I wanted to disable it!

@Rassmond Some traits have unique unlock conditions (i.e. Pyromaniac, which won't unlock until they go on a fire-starting spree). A large update for this mod is planned but it's in my backlog at the moment for a variety of reasons.

some trait take a little over a half year i've noticed. some are quicker.

How exactly you get to know them? Colonists keep unknown traits even after half year.. Switched to this mod from Stranger danger(which now "continued") that also hid skills but unknown status there was much shorter

@feydras That is correct. There is an option to show them in the mod settings.

With this mod when children age their traits choices are marked unknown.

Great mod. Also 10/10 thumbnail

@Sakujo I'm not sure, but there will be a very major update coming out somewhat soon that could change that. If it doesn't, I can take a look at it after that.

I'm pretty swamped with school since finals are in 2 weeks for me so my time to update my mods is pretty limited right now

Is it compatible with Vanilla Traits Expanded? Traits not unlocking, no matter what. Not throwing an error, but still.

Features update still WIP for now. I'll stop giving ETAs because I keep missing them (still soon though)

Great mod, thanks for 1.5 update

Okay, 1.5 support is out now - big feature update coming very very soon (probably within 12-24 hours).

I know this mod isn't as popular as my other ones, but I'll have a big update out in the next 24 hours (before 1.5 drops) with 1.5 support and a bunch of suggested features.

@lol I'll add the gear tab thing to the backlog. I probably won't do a major update for this mod until RimWorld 1.5 comes out, though.

Alternatives:
- Stranger Danger
- I Don't Care Who You Are
- Well Met

It's a great mod, thank you! Suggestion: same for "gear" tab

@ELVISLIVES Right now, that's just the number of days it takes to discover a trait per level of rarity of the trait. For example, it would take 120 days (2 years) to discover a trait with a rarity of 2 when that slider is at 60.

On the difficulty slider, what is the difference between 0 and 60?

@Lakuna I must have missed that. I apologize.

@Thunderkleize There is already an option for that.

Is it possible to add an option to make growth moment traits viewable?

Version 2.1.0 has been released with a fix for growth moments, along with some additional goodies that have been requested for a while. Sorry about the delay!

Updates to this are actually pretty slow judging by previous releases. So, don't hold your breath.

@Lakuna Sweet! Love your mod.

A workaround for others is that you can disable Well Met, reload, go through the growth moment, save, reload with Well Met enabled again.

@Winsomniak I'll look into it for the next update. Thanks for the report.

FYI growth moments seem to freeze the game client with this mod enabled, or at least disabling this mod prevents the growth moment from freezing. Also have "vanilla traits expanded" enabled.

@ELVISLIVES I'll probably add automatically discovering "apparent" traits as a toggle in the mod settings.

There are other traits as well other than beauty that would be apparent very quickly, like annoying voice. Or have a triggering discovery event, like pyros after they first encounter fire. etc.

@Aquiles Yes! It's on the to-do list. I don't know when I'll get around to updating this mod (I'm at university rn), but it'll be in the next update.

Helo, @Lakuna. Thank your for updating. Could be possible to make beauty traits (pretty, ugly, etc.) never be hidden? It seems reasonable to me, considering beauty or ugliness are at mere sight.

@Nyoj Possibly.

Have been using the mod for a while and it´s the first time it happened to me. Could be because i was using character editor and that mod skipped the hiding of my own pawns in creation?

@Nyoj Yes that's what the mod does.

Somehow this mod is making my own pawns have hidden traits. Even in creation, when i´m picking which pawns to start with their traits appear as "unknown trait"

tanks. i love your mod. it does really brings a nice level of storytelling. i just discovered a pawn of mine was a canibal

@FlorestNerd I've updated the mod to 1.4, and I made it work on every version going back to 1.0 while I was at it since I needed to rewrite the whole thing anyway. Sorry about the delay!

@FlorestNerd Oh shoot, I totally forgot. I'll see if I can get it out later today or tomorrow.

heyy. any chances a 1.4 is nearby?

@Random Tank Thank you! And yes, tough should show up when they take damage.

Unless sexual orientation ones are special cases, all of my prisoners have one of those traits (thanks to rational romance), so they're known and should be appearing, but they aren't. I have 2 prisoners that do have the tough trait shown though, that wasn't there before I'm guessing that shows when they take damage? Because I did have a prison break.

Here's a log file if you need it. https://gist.github.com/8b4ce2a5fc3d9cf1d9a30f790825466a Sorry it's a big one, heavy modded.

@Random Tank @Aquiles @Aphrodirty I'll take a look at this mod to make sure it's working properly when I finish the big update I'm working on for Prepare Moderately. Thank you for the reports.

It's unlikely but possible that all of the traits that aren't appearing for you are gated behind other conditions. There are a few like that.

I've had the mod on a save and played through a couple quadrums with my starting pawns and they still have their traits hidden which is why I asked if that was a feature or not, I know their traits are set to reveal over time but multiple quadrums felt excessive.
