A Fresh CiV

A Fresh CiV is a mod which changes the Unique Traits and Social Policies of Civilisation V. This mod will work even with mods which effect the original traits (though it will not work with mods which add new Traits, unless loaded after those mods).

Note: All DLC Civilisations are included, but are entirely optional.

This mod is avaliable in the Mod Browser, but is also attached to this thread. Simply place this file in your My Game/Sid Meier's Civilisation 5/MODS folder, run the game, enter the Mod Browser, and Click Install.

EDIT: An alternative version of the Unique Traits is avaliable, wherein the traits have been made exclusive to one another; for those who prefer such.

Additionally, a Swedish Civ can be found here:

IMO, UAs shouldn't have same bonuses (such as longer golden ages: this should stay only on Persia)
 
I'm not sure if this was just your mod, or you mod and others that I have screwing with each other, but several of the Civs stopped showing their UB. I not positive, but I think it was China, Egypt, Siam, and maybe Songhai? Pretty sure they were all civs with UBs, and it was the UBs that disappeared. Got replaced on the choose leader screen with the palace
 
It's probably to do with my mod, unfortunately. For those specific Civs some of the effects of their traits were only achieveable through giving them a unique Palace (for instance, for China to begin with 1 extra population they needed to begin with a unique Palace, which grants that bonus, though it otherwise acts the same as a normal Palace - this is due to the lack of modding tools avaliable). I'm not sure what mod might conflict in this way, but even if it is not showing the Unique Buildings, those Unique Buildings would still be avaliable ingame.

Perhaps you can try disabling some of the mods which add new buildings (especially unique buildings), or change any of the Civs, and then deleting the cache folder and seeing if this fixes the issue. Otherwise you can try and get this mod to load last (or first, if that fails). I usually play with Civ NiGHTs, which I always tick/load first, with A Fresh CiV last. Let me know if you have any success. Thanks for bringing this up, of course, as well as for using my mod.
 
Just as a note, only China, Japan, Egypt and Russia have unique Palaces, so if any more than them are showing up without their Unique Building then the problem isn't this mod, it'll be another. If you're using the alternative version, only Egypt uses a Unique Palace.
