📋 About This Mod
NPCs will now occasionally visit:
- General Stores
- Gunsmiths
They’ll enter, browse for a bit, then leave. Nothing fancy, just life happening around you.
Optionally, shopkeepers can visit other stores too. Up to you.
Customization:
Includes a .ini file to tweak how often NPCs visit stores.
You can also toggle whether shopkeepers go shopping themselves.
Requires Scripthook (preferably V2), simply put the .asi and the .ini files in your game folder.
