    Also I haven't heard of Amelia before, is she completely gone or does her code still exist somewhere?
    I'm pretty sure this is every NPC mod on Nexus, I only found Grace and Nagito on ModDrop but I'm not familiar with the site, and GitHub I haven't checked because I don't really know how it works very well.

    I think you missed Alune, Husky, Kakashi, Eugene, Sinian, Ray, there is a second NPC named Jade, Pelette, Constanze, Miku, Wednesday, Kel, Lizzandra, Rudy, Zack, Mother Helen, Lost Child, Mothman, Wendigo, Nights, Aang, Dr. Schnabel and Wellwick.
    And some expansions, Jacob and Eloise from East Scarpe, Rose from Town School, the Daycare Center the Refugee NPCs.
    This mod can be found on Mod Drop, Grace.
    I don't know which of these mods still work but i will keep searching for more.
    Have seen in the media section quite a few upcoming NPCs too!

      Oh and I also missed the npcs from Mini Town and Nagito, Nagito is on ModDrop.
      Mini Town is on Nexus but I found an extension to it that adds cat NPCs here http://www.stardewvalleymod.com/minitown-npcs/, I’m not sure if they are actual NPCs but it says they are.

      Now while looking through that website I found Pofi the cat here http://www.stardewvalleymod.com/pofi-new-cat-npc/

      I have also found Ashley here https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/smapi-ashley-npc-new-npc.112077/.

      And I believe Rudy, Kel, Wendigo, Lizzandra Mothman, Zack Mother Helen, Lost Child, Miku, Daycare Center and Mini Town are all made by the same person. I played with most of them and they worked pretty good I did have problems installing Miku though.

      Hello! Really sorry for the delay. I've added the new things you included, though Garam and Ulysses were temporary hidden so it is included on currently in dev section. As of now, I've put Ashley on the forgotten mods as the thread is quite old. Let me know again if there is some mistake I made in regards to classifying these mods.

      Ok so mini town https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4377?tab=description is its own thing with npcs, its on nexus but doesn't say anything about npcs but there are some I believe called Rin. the mini town npcs add a bunch of stray cats that I think are npcs http://www.stardewvalleymod.com/minitown-npcs/, its an extension to mini town. Pofi the cat http://www.stardewvalleymod.com/pofi-new-cat-npc/ is completely separate mod. IK its complicated LOL, sorry for continuously posting, IDK about the mini town cats, I haven't tried it out before

    I really appreciate this, I really like mods that add NPCs but there are so many of them its hard to keep track of. I don't know how to mod but I hope that someone can fix the broken ones, I wish I could have them all but some of them aren't compatible.
    Thanks.

      Yeah, I also want to fix them but I don't know anything about coding. I think the easiest NPC to fix is Popuri, she only has some dialogue problems,  festival location issues, and the bug that causes Mayor Lewis' dialogue to loop in the Flower Dance. She also doesn't have her own home and sleeps at Harvey's room.

      It's odd but Mona has that issue too. I dont know why. Might be worth digging into their code.

      For no apparent reason I want to try Alec's, even - or perhaps because - his uses a completely different and outdated format.

    NIkolai and Herbert are not really incompatible; they work perfectly well together in my game with a tiny bit of editing.
    The issue is the JojaMart file, since both "Load" the same file.
    You should have no issues if you run them both with SVE, however.

    Paul mostly still works as well. Theres a few bugs with him but nothing game breaking.

    Thanks for covering two of mine (a third will be released later this week, I'm planning to release it when SVE releases).
    I don't know how far you are into Jasper's story, but he adds more additional immersion content than Mr Ginger (the latter works better in conjunction with Ranch Expansion and Immersive Shane (which isnt pne of mine).
    Also, curious, did you run Jasper with Befriend Marlon and Gunther? because I think I disabled it from loading the Marlon/Gunther stuff if that mod was installed, but I haven't tested it. So it should be mostly compatible you just won't get the full experience.

    Oh and you missed The Stray Catfe, Mermaid Island and Garden Village shops which add additonal NPCs and content. (Also my East Scarpe but pls hold off featuring that until I get my chars events done!).

      Thank you for informing me that Nikolai and Herbert were compatible.
      Was just too scared to try them both because I don't want to get my file corrupted.
      The description should have changed by the time I read this.

      No problem, I really love your mods specially your Ranch Expansion Mod as it adds so many new contents and events to the game.
      I am also glad that Professor Jasper Thomas Mod is compatible with the Museum Expansion Mod so thumbs up for that.
      Mister Ginger is adorable in general, though I have some issues with it like when I check garbage cans it speaks or when I use the Help Wanted Quest Fix Mod it will ask for an item and I find it funny sometimes. Other than that, it's a really good mod.

      No, I haven't used Befriend Marlon and Gunther for a long time since the day SVE was released. I've just put it there for clarifications.

      Okay I'll keep those mods in mind!

      Yeh alas garbage can dialogue and quest info is hard coded. After you get 6 hearts with him itll be less weird. I promise.

      Also there's a mod called Custom Dialogue fix but I haven't done the code for him to fix that.
