I think I need to do something so that the illness doesn't go away for at least a couple of days (an endless illness is too much and one hour is too easy, at least 10 hours would be nice, or better yet a couple of days)

I like mods that start you off with a rough condition that is fairly easy to manage for some extra points.

@Fat K:
It should work now, let me know.

Is this trait mod (seemingly) broken for anyone else? I just can't seem to lose the cold I have after starting the game using this trait. I do not have the checkbox for infinite cold ticked and I've done all the usual stuff like staying warm inside and just eating well for like a whole in-game week and it hasn't moved from the highest level of cold moodle at all. The only thing I haven't tried is the Common Mallows.

I think sandbox settings only update when you restart the game in all cases due to how the game functions. I don't know if I can do anything about it.

Ah yes, a minor oversight and an easy fix. Thanks for letting me now. The Infinite Cold setting now works properly as a minimum value.

@ram
hey wow thank you so much for doing that! I really appreciate it! I did some testing on single player with the mod Sandbox Options that allows you to change Sandbox options while in-game and it does not update the permanent settings immediately, but it did once I restarted the game just to let you know.

additionally something i've discovered is that with the permanent option on; the cold may never get better than the threshold but it also never gets worse. so setting the option to 20, your cold will not get worse if you are outdoors in the cold for extended period. i infact began freezing to death and my cold never went above 20.

Yes, the function was only called at the start of the game. I updated it to apply the effect whenever the trait exists, and to remove the trait automatically when sickness reaches 0. It should work for your purpose now.

I tried out the mod in hopes applying the trait in admin to someone (or myself) mid-game would give a person a cold, but it just applies the trait with no moodle. I help run a dedicated server, and being able to apply illnesses to players is a dream.

otherwise testing it without trying to apply the illness mid-game, the trait did give me a bad cold when i started the game with it.
