NPCs not running fast enough when dragons and vampires come a'calling? Tired of needing to haul your crap to the other side of the province because someone tried to be a hero? Then this mod is for you!
Carrying on the trend from Essential NPCs - Puppers, this mod aims to make all the general goods merchants of Skyrim essential. It is meant to be used in conjunction with Run For Your Lives, so that your precious merchants will still survive if they don't manage to run fast enough.
As usual with me, you have two options for download: an ESP file and a BAT file.
