This is why i suggested this as a SANDBOX option. This suggestion is, in my opinion, on par with that checkbox, allowing you to make yourself a touch more powerful rather than making the zombies pathetic or worse yet, non-existant.

It's a simple suggestion that a lot of people (but not all) will use. The point system would still be displayed, it just wouldn't restrict you from continuing. And as far as how it doesn't fit the general theme of the game, IT'S SANDBOX. By clicking that button you've alerady decided not to folllow the general theme of the normal game in exchange for something different. It could even take the form of a checkbox you have to uncheck at character creation marked "Proper characters"

Not to mention the primary use i could think of this would be making myself as a person. While i do need a lot of sleep and am nearsighted , I'm a very light eater and i'm quite strong and able to carry a lot before being weighed down and while i do get sick somewhat frequently, the nearly never effect me very much. If i attempt to create myself in game as close as possible, i come out to -7 trait points. This makes me sad.

Simple suggestion. In sandbox mode, where we have the option of making zombies pathetic infantile creatures that couldn't tear their way out of a paper sack, much less into your flesh, surrounded by loot galore, you should also have no limits on traits. No limit meaning you can have all the positive traits with none of the negatives if you choose, and possibly have the ability to take traits multiple times (stacking) that way you can be a superman who can carry the world on his shoulders and be extremely resillient to infection, surrounded by strong and fast zombies that will destroy you at a moments notice.
