RimTraits - Medieval Talents
Fallout Traits

Mods that have added their own support:
[MLP] My Little RimPony
GunKata: Battle Traits

[10/10] As a fall-back, if the mod is not supported by it's own icons [SYR] Trait Value (Recomended over alternatives) or RimTraits - Vanilla Trait Colors will be used to assign an icon instead. You may disable this feature by removing the "syrchalis.traitvalue" and "sierra.rt.vanillatraitcolors" folders.

Notes for modders:
Other mods can add their own by putting the icons on the "Textures\UI\TraitIcons\[packageId of mod the trait is from]" path as they would any other texture, with the name equal to the name that appears on the log (the untraslated display name of the trait but in all lower-case except the first letter, which must be capitalized). (If the trait is a degree of another mod's trait, or you are renaming another mod's trait, place it under that mod's package id)
If a trait does not have an icon, it will try to use the icon named "Default" on the source mod's folder.
If [SYR] Trait Value is active, any mod without icons that has Trait Value support will use the icon named after its category: "Best trait", "Very good trait", "Good trait", "Neutral trait", "Bad trait", "Very bad trait", "Worst trait"; prioritizing any instance in the folder corresponding to the source mod packageId.
RimTraits - Vanilla Trait Colors has similar support: the name is the hex color used in the label.
Other mods that change trait colors like "Trait Rarity Colors" will be compatible but will not have their own icons.
Any mod with a "Default" icon will use it for all of their icons which do not have their own, this allows for one icon to represent the whole mod, this is used for the traits of some of them.

Used icons from https://game-icons.net, with some modifications.
