📋 About This Mod
This mod flags named Slog NPCs (Wiseman, Deirdre, Arlen Glass, Jones, Holly) as Essential, which makes them unable to accidentally die. (Helpful for all those random raider attacks.)
Also includes an option to flag all of them as Protected. (Protected NPC's can only be killed by the player.)

Essential Slog NPCs is a small Fallout 4 mod that makes five named NPCs at The Slog (Wiseman, Deirdre, Arlen Glass, Jones, Holly) essential, preventing them from dying during raider attacks. It's a simple quality-of-life fix for players who want to protect these characters.

📊 Pros & Cons
