Trait Acquirer is a Vintage Story mod by Arkhael. Trait Acquirer adds manuals and commands that let you gain or remove extra traits during gameplay, beyond your chosen class.
Why this mod is worth installing
Useful for players who want to explore different trait combinations without restarting, and for servers that need controlled trait management.
What Trait Acquirer adds
Trait manuals can appear in selected game structures and be bought from the Treasure Trader. Using one grants the listed extra traits, while suitable manuals can also remove them, creating a gameplay-based alternative to command use.
The mod supports commands for adding and removing extra traits, with configurable permission requirements. Trait exclusivity prevents incompatible combinations, while removal and an optional forced command path can handle deliberate changes.
A dedicated Handbook section documents loaded traits, their effects, exclusivity links, categories, and command codes. Manual use is presented with custom models, textures, particles, and sounds, while trader prices and loot chances can be adjusted.
