ESSENTIAL NPCS - BLACKSMITHS
Blacksmiths are some of the most vulnerable people in Skyrim, usually located close to the city entrance. It's hard to run away when the vampires spawn right next to you. Want to give those blacksmiths an extra level of protection? Then this mod is for you!
First your dogs and your general goods merchants were made essential. Now your blacksmiths can join the club! Live the previous two entries in the "Essential NPCs" series, Essential NPCs - Blacksmiths is meant to be used in conjunction with Run For Your Lives, though it can stand on its own.
You have them now? Yes? Good! Lets continue!
Got any questions? Please read the FAQ before asking!
