Better NPCs

Enhance Your tModLoader Experience with Better NPCs

Tired of the vanilla limitations when it comes to your non-player characters in tModLoader? Look no further than Better NPCs, a comprehensive Quality of Life mod designed to give you unprecedented control over your game’s inhabitants. This mod empowers you to tailor NPC behavior and attributes to your exact preferences, creating a more dynamic and personalized tModLoader adventure.

Customizable NPC Attributes

At its core, Better NPCs allows for deep customization of individual NPCs. You can fine-tune their survivability by adjusting their health and regeneration rates. For those who prefer an unyielding presence, invincibility can be enabled. Furthermore, the mod addresses the often-frustrating NPC happiness system. You can choose to disable this mechanic entirely, forcing all NPCs to achieve maximum happiness regardless of their surroundings, or utilize a “Better Happiness” button for a more direct approach to managing their contentment.

Optimizing Merchant and Angler Interactions

The Traveling Merchant, a frequent visitor whose stock can often be unpredictable, receives a significant boost. Better NPCs offers options to increase the number of slots available in the Traveling Merchant’s inventory, potentially leading to rarer finds. Additionally, you can enhance the quality of his loot. For fans of fishing, the Angler NPC can also be tweaked. The mod allows you to set the number of missions the Angler offers per day, streamlining your quest progression.

Refining Shop Conditions and NPC Behavior

Say goodbye to shop limitations tied to specific in-game events. Better NPCs provides the ability to disable shop conditions related to the Graveyard biome, moon phases, and Blood Moons. This ensures that crucial items are available when you need them, irrespective of the current world state. Beyond shop mechanics, the mod introduces new NPC behaviors. You can now command friendly NPCs to follow you, offering a unique companion experience. Additionally, the frustrating tendency for NPCs to automatically teleport back home can be disabled, allowing them to linger where you might need them.

Quality of Life for Voodoo Dolls

The potent Voodoo Dolls, used to control the Guide and Clothier, also benefit from quality-of-life improvements. Better NPCs introduces the option to make these dolls consumable, adding a strategic element to their use. Crucially, the mod includes a safeguard to prevent accidental or intentional NPC termination via these powerful items, ensuring your favorite characters remain safe.

Better NPCs is a must-have for any tModLoader player looking to inject more control and customization into their gameplay.
