📋 About This Mod
This is something that bothers me a lot. Interesting NPCs and Alternate Start together have this "issue" that almost everytime you tweak your mods in your cell you can hear those damn ghosts fighting in the background.
This happens because the ghosts from this place keep sandboxing around the prison, and the NPC in question (Fjona's Familiar) is hostile to them.
So basically all I did was switch the postion of the NPC. He's still in the prison, in a chair close to the entrance of the prison, just far enough from the ghosts's sandboxes reach.
I did this for myself, I have no idea if someone else will find this useful or not, I just decided to upload this to the Nexus.
