In the first paragraph, that "there" should be "their"

I always hate it when merchants die. This is very usefull.

I found this to be the best go to mod for protecting the merchants. I admire the idea that the original vanilla version adds some realism. Brave citizens would come together to protect their town or city. But, for game play, I want my merchants to stick around. The way I look at it, is like this. This is my way of showing my appriciation for their bravery. But, now they are under the protection of the Dragonborn. My Dragonborn is the bully to the bullies of Skyrim. Go back to making that fine steel work Adriana. The Dragonborn is here to kick these bad guys square in the nuts.

spicyjesus  [author] 23 Nov, 2015 @ 2:51am 
dunno, will just make the dlc merchants not invincible
Spirit 23 Nov, 2015 @ 2:45am

I also think that that is a bugg on your part, the mod works fine
Vellinious 30 Mar, 2015 @ 7:20pm 
I'd say NPC merchants dying pretty much stops the mod from working, especially since it's entire reason for being, is to stop NPC merchants from dying.....logic and stuff....
spicyjesus  [author] 30 Oct, 2014 @ 1:16am 
and by the way, if they are dying from vampires, then that might be DLC related, this is strictly vanilla. Sorry, I will not edit this mod unless it is somthing large that directly stops the mod from working.
spicyjesus  [author] 30 Oct, 2014 @ 1:08am 
kthx
babyfoxx13 29 Oct, 2014 @ 4:55pm 
For whstever reason, when a vampire attacked Whiterun, Ulberth War-Bear ( the guy in Warmaidens) died, I'm gonna un-supscribe and re-subscribe in hopes that it'll fix the problem.
So far this is the only issue that I've found with this mod, if I come across any other bugs/glitches with this mod, I'll let you know.
Argon 29 Oct, 2014 @ 11:42am 
That is very constructive. I wish you better luck in your future endeavors.
spicyjesus  [author] 26 Oct, 2014 @ 10:42pm 
I count you as useless
Argon 26 Oct, 2014 @ 4:56pm 
Belethor died in a vampire attack so i count this mod as uselss
Jackster227 19 Aug, 2014 @ 10:24am 
Honestly, this seems like it would be useful but I would rather just spawn in the NPC's that die rahter than having to set if they are essential or not. Good work on the mod though! :)
Bops 30 Jun, 2014 @ 8:11am 
Can anyone please tell me the basics on how to fix Nurelion? Its starting to make me sad. :c
Charlemagne 31 Jan, 2014 @ 3:12pm 
I did as you said, learned some modding basics and fixed Nurelion so he's no longer essential. I also fixed Ulfberth War Bear who wasn't essential (I noticed after a vampire killed him right in front of my eyes), and fixed Carlotta Valentia's dress which for some reason you made blue and without shoes.
@kyndig01 The guy you say, Anoriath, does not appear marked as essential.
ZodiacDragonStar 22 Jan, 2014 @ 4:56pm 
question , is the meat hunter/seller in whiterun that you have to kill in dark brotherhood questline also essential ? also what about the vampire merchants and trainers etc if you join the dawnguard are those essential as well , those are the only ones i can think of that should not be essential.
Charlemagne 5 Dec, 2013 @ 6:18pm 
OK he is essential, and he can't be made unessential by writing setessential 14148 0 in console. Too bad, this is a killer for me. I look forward to you fixing this bug.
Charlemagne 3 Dec, 2013 @ 9:06am 
Ummm... Can't do that. We'll see how it goes then.
spicyjesus  [author] 3 Dec, 2013 @ 4:53am 
you could always just edit the mod.
Charlemagne 3 Dec, 2013 @ 4:43am 
Well I suppose I can un-essential him manually, but would he revert to essential due to the mod the next time it loads?
spicyjesus  [author] 2 Dec, 2013 @ 6:19pm 
I dont remember now, I dont really mod anymore
Charlemagne 2 Dec, 2013 @ 4:04pm 
Strange it didn't happen with another character I have saved. But int first character, it is found all the way back to old saves. The character was modified somehow.
Tell me, did you already fix Nurelion as you said 24 Sep?
spicyjesus  [author] 2 Dec, 2013 @ 3:59pm 
Dont know what would cause that
Charlemagne 2 Dec, 2013 @ 6:47am 
After subscribing to this, Carlota Valentia is wearing a different dress (prettier, admittedly) and is barefoot. Her dialog also seems to be a little glitched (she speaks to empty air with no other character in front). No problem with the 5 or 6 other merchants I've seen so far.
spicyjesus  [author] 24 Sep, 2013 @ 6:08pm 
Sure
valleyq 24 Sep, 2013 @ 2:04pm 
This makes Nurelion essential and prevents the completion of The White Phial; Could you fix that? Thanks.
Atherean 19 Sep, 2013 @ 6:46am 
ty sooooo much!!!
weavah9 17 Sep, 2013 @ 1:46pm 
Nurelion should probably be left out of this mod. I don;t think he ever leaves his home anyway, and making him unkillable prevents the White Phial quests from concluding.
rogaa 10 Sep, 2013 @ 7:04pm 
Cool mod, and whenever the merchants die, I wanted to sock the vampires in the face
John Canada 10 Sep, 2013 @ 4:47pm 
also i diddnt read comments past connor.story
John Canada 10 Sep, 2013 @ 4:46pm 
well at least there item chest will be there that will (probably) always restock with gold and item(that you have to steal)..... or you can get script extender (if required) and set them as essensical (horrible spelling), or better yt and be lazy sub this very very good mod......
ChazWitch 10 Sep, 2013 @ 3:51pm 
Yeah, last time Belathor died, resurrect console code brought him back as a regular Non Merchant Npc.. He no longer bought or sold Anything... This is way better! He cannot die!!
spicyjesus  [author] 10 Sep, 2013 @ 2:44pm 
Thank you.
jjb-54 10 Sep, 2013 @ 8:14am 
Note: Resurrect Code for merchants does NOT always work. I've had them (merchants) die from dragon and vamp attacks and used the Resurrect Code and yes they come back, but 90+% of the time - they would no longer be able to buy/sell - they were just zombies standing at their stands quoting lines from when they were alive - but are not able now to think beyond basic genetic (computer) words. So this is a 'must have' - to avoid zombies....
John Canada 8 Sep, 2013 @ 6:59am 
Note to everyone even though the console commands are cheap the resurrect command could prove just as useful
ChazWitch 6 Sep, 2013 @ 12:52pm 
Thanks! The vampires kept killing merchants in Every city!
ARK Redeemer 6 Sep, 2013 @ 8:59am 
THANK YOU!!!!! This mod is a life saver, literally, cos Merchants are always killed either by Vampire attcks, Dragons, or one of my werewolf rages! This stops it, thank you!!!!

Using console can scrue up the merchants so they cant sell anything, this is safer.
amn_4_life 4 Sep, 2013 @ 6:44pm 
i prefer not to use console commands.
spicyjesus  [author] 3 Sep, 2013 @ 11:54pm 
Go ~ and write it.
spicyjesus  [author] 3 Sep, 2013 @ 10:46pm 
Use Resurrect cheat code.
amn_4_life 3 Sep, 2013 @ 6:20pm 
if only we could revive already dead merchants...
CAP 3 Sep, 2013 @ 3:04pm 
Thumbs upped and favorited.
CAP 3 Sep, 2013 @ 3:03pm 
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD A dragon attacked Riverwood and Hod, Alvor and Sigrid all run to fight it. Before this mod there would have been 1 or 2 fatalities at least, maybe all three, but all three survived. YAAAY!!!!! My only regret is that I did not find this Jewel of a Mod before Adrianne bought it.
