⚠️ Cons

For modders and players who frequently edit NPCs or persistent references and are tired of save files reverting their changes. Also for anyone troubleshooting weird NPC weight or position issues that persist after mod updates. Skip if you rarely touch plugins or don't care about save-baked data.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to load this mod after any mods that change NPC records to ensure it takes effect.

- Test with a new save or after loading a save to see if the changes apply correctly.
