[MOD] +1 Happiness per city Leader trait

[Proto_Noob]

Hey, I have a custom civ (that I made) that I have been playing for a while, but would like to change up the flavor a little bit. Used to do a bit of modding but now I am a little rusty and need some help.

The civ is for vox populi and I would like the leader trait to grant +1 happiness per city. If there is not a way to do this directly, I am open to hacks and workarounds.

As a side question, how powerful/unbalancing would a trait like that be? I know that one of the pantheons grants +1 happiness per city on river, and a reformation belief grant +1 per city following the religion. I am pairing it with an ability that makes workers work fast (I love agricultural/industrious civs).

Edit: spelling

Easiest way I can think of is to create a dummy building that give +1 Happiness and then use the Traits table's FreeBuilding column to grant that dummy building in every city.

As long as the extra Happiness is not GlobalHappiness I would not think it would be crazy imbalancing since with the "local" Happiness column in table Buildings, the sum total of happiness granted by all buildings within a city cannot exceed the population of that city.
