NPC and Enemy Remover (Phobia Helper)

An Elden Ring mod which removes any selected NPC.

The original mod worked by replacing the files for a given character using ModEngine2. While the original mod works perfectly, it requires the user to find the ID of the NPC they wish to replace and then rename the files to that ID. This adds a bit of friction to the experience. This mod tries to help with this by providing a window which lets you pick the NPCs and then replaces them for you with the click of a button. If you do not wish to run scripts on your computer (despite the fact that the code is provided), I highly encourage checking out the original mod.

Installation

• []Install ModEngine2. Follow the instructions on the page.

  []Install Python3. The latest, stable version is the safest choice (it'll be the big download button at the top). I tried not to use too many new features to allow people with older version of Python3 to run the mod, but if  you're having problems, I would download the latest version. It is important to note that Python2 and Python3 are completely different, and Python2 is not just and "older version of Python3".

  []Download the latest release of this mod. Alternatively, download it on GitHub .

  []Extract the downloaded mod wherever you'd like.

  []If you downloaded from NexusMods, skip this step as the replacement files will come with it. If you downloaded from GitHub, you need a copy of the replacement files.

  []Grab a copy of the replacement files from the original mod. Both the original and turtle forms work, but I recommend the turtle files as it decreases the chance of softlocking the game.

  []Extract the replacement files into the "res" folder of this mod. There should be no parent folder; the ".dcx" files should all be directly under the "res" folder.

[]To run the mod, run launch_npc_remover.bat by double-clicking it. This will install the dependencies and then launch the mod window. If you know Python, feel free to run it yourself, but the ".bat" file takes care of everything for you.

[]Click on the "Browse" button for "Mod Engine 2 Mod Folder" and select the "mod" folder where you have installed ModEngine2. Please keep in mind this should be the "mod" folder inside ModEngine2, not the ModEngine2 folder itself. It is also not the"chr" folder inside the "mod" folder.

[]Use the "Available NPCs" list to select the NPCs you wish to replace. You can use the text box to search for the names, and if you want more information you can click on the "Info" button for an NPC which will open a browser tab to the wiki for that n
