Question on skill ranks above 80
For creating a character via the Package system in Transhuman, it notes that no skill can be raised above 80 during character creation. But right below that, it says: "Any temporary aptitude modifiers from a morph are applied after the aptitudes and skills are combined. These modifiers may raise skill values above 80, and above 60 without further modifier." What exactly does this mean? So skills can't be raised above 80 [i]before[/i] you add the aptitude bonus?

Your ego aptitude+skill
Your ego aptitude+skill cannot exceed 80. Morph bonuses to aptitude and skill CAN push the total above 80, but what you get from your ego alone CANNOT.
You, too, were made by humans. The methods used were just cruder, imprecise. I guess that explains a lot.

Traits!
And is the Expert trait allowed in a Transhuman build, to raise a skill to 90?

Yes
If you buy both the Expert trait and the additional 10 skill points (30 CP) with remaining CP, yes.
