Introduction
It can be quite frustrating when you want to find a particular named-NPC (e.g. a student or a professor) because the game gives you no clues about where they might be. If this was a real school they'd be in class, or in their Common Room, but by default Hogwarts Legacy has no regular classes and NPC's mysteriously vanish at night. This mod is intended to solve that issue by plotting a path to whichever named-NPC you're looking for.
Installation
I would recommend installing the mod manually as described below. You should be able to install the mod automatically using Vortex if you like (then skip to step 4 below), but Vortex can be a bit unreliable with Hogwarts Legacy mods (it doesn't always delete mods properly) so beware!
