NPCs (non-player characters) are the heart of the world. They are the people you meet, the monsters you fight, the NPCs you talk to, and the game world itself. They are the ones that tell you what is happening in the world. And they are the ones you have to trust to give you the correct information.

In this mod, I have made some changes to the NPC system. First, I have increased the despawn time to 3 minutes off-screen so that even when your not looking at the NPC, they will stay around.

Secondly, I have made three different versions of the crowd mod, with fast, default, and long-term despawn timing.
