(B42) Immersive Roleplay Professions and Traits

Description
THIS IS A RPG MOD, so it's designed for players who enjoy realistic games, with low experience point gain, rebalanced loot, and challenging environments.

What does it do?

This mod aims to improve character creation by making it varied and immersive. It also makes almost all traits dynamic, with a focus on realism, allowing your character to change over time based on their actions.
Adds every possible profession, MANY traits, consistent loot and outfits for every profession and trait, logical exclusions for traits and professions, and foraging modifiers.
The entire system is based on role-playing, realism, and immersion , avoiding imbalances and remaining faithful to the game's logic.
This mod is also intended to add all the recipes missing from the base game, with the exception of a few categories that are already covered very well by other mods.
I will add more logical and realistic recipes that are currently missing.
The mod also adds items such as manuals that, when read, unlock a specific job recipes, winter versions of various law enforcement uniforms, and wearable blankets.
I suggest using this mod to make the game more believable and to prevent blankets from being used during combat:

Every mechanic and dynamization is now well explained in the trait descriptions. (It will be further improved in the future.)
The only traits that are not specified (because they are specific to some professions but cannot be selected from the list), but which are still dynamic, are these two:


Axeman (-5)
This trait is gained if the player reaches Level 5 in Axe and does not have Weak or Feeble traits.

(Improves effectiveness with axes.)

Burglar (-6)
This trait is gained if the character has:
Sneaking (3)
Lightfooted (3)
Electricity (1)
Mechanics (2)
Strength (4)
Driving (1)
Cannot have Pacifist, Conspicuous, or Clumsy traits.

Key Features:

New Professions: 85 new professions with specific bonuses have been added, while existing professions in the base game have been reworked. They include starting loot, appropriate outfits, and foraging modifiers.

Exclusions: Professions have logical exclusions for traits.
For example, a Medic doesn't have the Hemophobic trait available in the trait selection list, or a Soldier doesn't have the Pacifist trait available.
Vanilla traits also have additional logical exclusions.
Suggest new logical exclusions if you find any, I'll add the more realistic ones.

New Traits: New positive and negative traits have been introduced, and existing ones have been reworked. Several traits provide starting loot and clothing, as well as foraging modifiers.
For example, a doctor will have the First Aid trait by default and may spawn with a stethoscope or antibiotics.

Dynamic Traits: Almost all traits, including vanilla ones, evolve over time depending on the player's actions, ensuring a more immersive and realistic experience.
WARNING: Enable dynamization of lifestyle traits from the sandbox options; I removed the mechanic I created when the Lifestyle creators created theirs!

Improvements:

Vanilla traits and professions rebalanced (cost, improved descriptions, adjusted skills or recipes, etc.).

Removed the pistol and bullets that the vanilla game gives to all characters at spawn.

Added a randomized wallet at spawn, different based on the character's gender.

Here's a list of the various item and recipes additions:

The mod also adds many currently missing Italian translations, which will be added as I find them.

I avoided to script many cooking or survival recipes because some mods already add almost everythings. if you want a complete and realistic recipes list use this mod with these:

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3402516345&searchtext=survival
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3510863962&searchtext=alcohol
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3444499190&searchtext=farming
I play with these mods on and they add recipes in different categories, they work well with this one, add these mods too to have a complete recipes possibilities.

Future projects:

Dynamizing additional traits.

Creating additional traits, especially negative ones.

Advanced apocalypse "professions" instead of current pre-apocalypse ones if the game is significantly advanced in time.

I will add more recipes and items.

More italian missing translations.

I will add a spawn system that makes logical and realistic objects that are abundant in every home, such as socks and underwear and clothes in general, or plates and dishes, very common.

Incompatibilities and issues:

This mod is not compatible with other mods that modify the "MainProfessionMethods" game file or mods that make traits dynamic.
Not compatible with "hearing loss" or "Logic Missin Recipes" mod becauses their logic is already implemented into this mod.

I STRONGLY SUGGEST AVOIDING ADDING OTHER MODS THAT ADD MANY TRAITS! THEY COULD AFFECT TRAIT DYNAMICS OR RUIN THE CREATION BALANCE ACHIEVED.

DO NOT use the button to create a new character in the existent game after your death! It's a broken system and should never be used, even in vanilla game, because the game is unable to completely reset the client counters and the character's previous stats. Using it could cause errors and problems.

If you find any inaccuracies, errors, or bugs, please report them!
If you want to help me improve the translation or translate the mod into your language, add me as a friend and send me a message :-D

I'm working on compatibility for lockpicking mod, that will be required for this one to work and the update could break your saves, create a backup or unable the mods updating if you care about it.
I will warn you guys before to update, it should require a week or two.

@Rexigon as you can see by yourself, driving skill is required for this mod to make it works
Rexigon 2 Oct @ 8:59pm 
Can I use this mod without driving skill?

Estaré actualizando en estos días, ya que estoy jugando al juego probando los mods y hay ciertos items que no están traducidos (seguramente porque empecé a traducir a partir de la versión en inglés). Pero según lo tenga aviso por aquí y actualizo los archivos de la carpeta compartida
UattO  [author] 28 Sep @ 6:25pm 
¡Tómate tu tiempo! No hay prisa. Recomiendo que Google traduzca todos los archivos del italiano al español y luego edite la traducción.
¡Muchas gracias!
¡Agrégame como amigo para que podamos intercambiar archivos fácilmente!

Subida primera edición de la traducción a español. Cualquier cosa me comunican :)

@killjoy1883 this mod doesn't modify weapon slots, maybe you reported to the wrong mod lol

I recently started a play-through where I started off as an office worker, and I got a Nightstick off a dead cop, and I realized that I couldn't attach it to my belt, so is that intentional or is it something else.
