Confirmed: You can't take the genetic downward spiral trait if you have sleeping pill dependence, but you can take sleeping pill dependence even if you already have genetic downward spiral resulting in -14/-12
Traits we get from professions and scenarios do not count toward the cap, but we forgot to also exclude backgrounds (previously known as hobbies). https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/blob/c7004d1567e9b0c717ddc722c6a95f8abe720eb2/src/newcharacter.cpp#L1248-L1267
I don't know if it's worth fixing this, as the trait cap is a feature we would like to phase out in the long run.
Trait limit was removed, this no longer matters.
Describe the bug
You are normally only allowed 12 points of positive and 12 points of negative traits, but if you select your traits first and then go back and select a hobby that gives you traits, those will be added on top. If you do it the other way around, the hobby traits do count towards your max.
Steps To Reproduce
Expected behavior
I don't think Hobby traits should count towards your max at all. And many of them don't, because they don't select traits that are already in the trait list.
However, the least I would expect is that whether hobby traits do or don't let you go over the max, it shouldn't matter when you select the hobby.
Screenshots
I have 15 points of negative traits here due to selecting the "Butchering" hobby after already having selected 12 points of negative traits
