This all-in-one mod is standalone, which means you don't need anything else to make it work.
This core mod changes traits and occupations from vanilla game, also adds more new features.
Balance and flexibility are two fundamentals.
Fair traits costs and no cheating.
Meanwhile trying to still be close to Vanilla-style gameplay

Works in [B41/B42]
Mod should work completely fine in singleplayer and multiplayer.
Only for fresh game. Unknown bugs can appear with adding it in current savegame.

Summary:
* Most overpowered traits nerfed.
* Most underpowered and unpopular traits buffed.
* Occupations balanced around same way. Occupation start with maximum +2 skill level (except Farmer, Chef and Doctor).

Traits and occupations are balanced from time to time to achieve the ideal state.
Don't be surprised if your favorite trait or occupation buffed/nerfed.

Recommended mods:
- More Description for Traits

Compatible with:
- (mostly everything but incompatible mods)
- Smoker
- Better Lockpicking (traits)
- Snake's Mod Pack (weight traits)
- Green Fire (alcoholic mutually exclusives)
- Scavenger Skill and Driving Skill (skills for some occupations)
- Excrementum (Sensitive Digestion trait)
- Skill Recovery Journal
- Evolving Traits World: should works fine but with bunch of +1 traits.

SOTO may work bad or be incompatible with next mods:
- any mods which changes vanilla traits and occupations
- any traits which changes Smoker trait and adding Alcoholic trait (required testing)
- Quit Smoking: SOTO already allow you to quit smoking.
- Become Desensitized/Brave: SOTO already allow you to earn Brave/Desensitized traits.
- Extra Traits Effects: both mods affecting same traits, incompatible traits balance. (but you can load ETE after SOTO to make it work.)

Incompatible (and will not be):
- More Simple Traits: SOTO is expanded MST. You may face duplicated traits and unknown errors. Use SOTO or MST.
- More Traits: some traits will not work or work incorrectly, incompatible traits balance. Use at own risk.
- Dynamic Traits: both mods affecting occupations and traits, while doing pretty the same thing in different ways, incompatible occupations and traits balance.
- Occupations Expertises & Balance: both mods changing occupations and I don't want to see traits from both mods at same time, incompatible occupations and traits balance.
- 10 Years Later Professions and Occupations: both mods affecting occupations, incompatible occupations and traits balance.

You always can ask your fave mod developer to add compatibility with SOTO.

I will not make separated occupations mod, do not ask me for.
