P.S. COULD NOT REPRODUCE [Bug 1.20] Strength ability does nothing

Just started a new game with 1.20 and picked up a unit from a quest with Strength and Muscle, they didn't seem to get any more weight capacity from Strength so I checked it out, and the description just said "AdjustUnitStat" IIRC. Tried to design a new unit with the strength trait, they didn't get any more weight capacity from the trait so... I guess it's broken?
Didn't check any champions (I only had 1 and my sovereign, neither with Strength) but maybe it's the same there?

I am not using any mods that alter abilities/traits (that I know of at least, I am using Huge Maps, Snaking mod, Cuztomization unlocked, Female Henchmen and River Bridge). This is what I could find when I searched for the Strength ability, in the CoreAbilities.xml (which seems to be the relevant file):

<AbilityBonus InternalName="StrengthAbility">

        </AbilityBonusOption>
    </AbilityBonus>

Of course, this is all gibberish to me. Can you see what's wrong, or point me in the right direction and tell me how to fix this?

EDIT: Also, do I need to start a new game for a fix in an xml-file to take effect? I think I remember reading that somewhere.

Thanks in advance.
