Crossed-Out Trait Thumbnail Fixes

What Is This Mod?
This is a mod that fixes a minor, but strangely annoying UI glitch with social interactions that certain sims or pets are discouraged from using.
Specifically, this mod adds crossed-out icons for the Shy trait as well as a number of pet traits to fill in an irregularly-extended pie menu tab for a number of interactions, such as "Heat of the Moment Kiss" and "Bark/Hiss At."
After World Adventures, EA, apparently realizing how little the trait restrictions were used, stopped including crossed-out icons with traits. This worked fine until the release of Pets, in which pets with certain traits are restricted from performing certain interactions autonomously, and University Life, which has a "Heat of the Moment Kiss" interaction that sims with the Shy trait from Late Night are discouraged from using autonomously. With no crossed-out icons for these traits, the pie menu tabs for these interactions are extended to make room for the icons, but nothing fills them, leaving visually-unappealing spaces.
Thankfully, EA still, for some reason, included references to non-existent crossed-out thumbnails for these traits in the Traits.XML resource, meaning a tuning override was not necessary; I merely filled in the non-existent instances with actual IMAG resources.
Compatibility and Uninstallation
Built, tested, and (mostly) working on game version 1.69. It should work on earlier versions, but it has not been tested.
Technically, no expansion packs are required for this mod to run, but without either the Late Night and University Life expansion packs (for the Heat of the Moment Kiss fix) or Pets expansion pack (for the many pet interaction fixes), it will be very useless.
As this mod does not replace any existing resources, conflicts should be next to non-existent.
Uninstallation should not be a problem -- simply remove the mod from the packages folder.
