I've put up an improved version of this, "Protected Merchants III for USLEP", that uses Protected instead of Essential status, is USLEP compatible, and includes Dawnguard and Dragonborn merchants.
I appreciate this mod but for some reason it can't be merged. Here's the error:
Unhandled error: NPC_ \ Tint Layers \ Layer \ TINI - Tint Index -> <Tint layer index 2 not found in BretonRaceChildVampire "Breton Child Vampire" [RACE:00108272]>
I have been using this mod and love it. The only thing keeping me from endorsing is I believe that Anoriath of Whiterun and Lisbet of Markarth need to be changed to non-essential - the first for quest-line, and the second for immersive game-play. To me a great mod is one that does not require console commands, and this mod is VERY good! I haven't yet lost a single merchant since install. This being an older mod, I don't expect an update, but perhaps another creator might be inspired to make a new mod (that doesn't require Usleep) B-) Kk
I know this may seem a little late, but a merchant in Whiterun needs to be killed in one of the DB contracts, so the mod interferes with the quest. But one can just uninstall and complete the quest, and then re-install the mod afterwards. Not an inconvenience, but just wanted to say this.
Yes I too had the same problem.The Merchant is Anoriath in Whiterun who runs a food stall. Making him essential destroys the possibility of completion of a Dark Brotherhood quest.
If you would like to fix this NPC in game at any time open the console and type
setessential 00013b97 0
That will fix him for your play through without having to uninstall the mod. But you'll have to do it each time you start a new game.
I wish I could use this mod but I can't, unfortunately. No matter where it is placed in my load order I get an immediate crash to desktop at startup of the game. Any insight? I have no mods that edit any of the merchants, except I do use the USKP and the Unofficial Patches for Dragonborn and Hearthfire.
No, but you can use the resurrect console command if you need, here's a link to the list of console commands : http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Console_Commands_%28Skyrim%29

I thought maybe he was a merchant that slipped through the cracks, so opened the mod up in the creation kit, but nope, he was set as essential.
What the actual f***?
