Concept
An Elden Ring mod which removes any selected NPC. The original mod worked by replacing the files for a given character using ModEngine2. While the original mod works perfectly, it requires the user to find the ID of the NPC they wish to replace and then rename the files to that ID. This adds a bit of friction to the experience. This mod tries to help with this by providing a window which lets you pick the NPCs and then replaces them for you with the click of a button. I didn’t want people to have to run some randomly-downloaded EXE on their machine, and also wanted to allow for different platforms if possible, so I just wrote a Python script as simply as possible so that people could read it (or ask and LLM) if they wanted to make sure it isn’t dangerous. I wanted to make the whole process as simple as possible
Screenshots
Here is an example of the fingercreepers being removed in Caria Manor. I’m not including a before-replacement image to avoid bother any arachnophobes that come across this page. Now there are just harmless turtles chilling out instead of severed hand abominations.
Here’s what the actual window looks like. Just set up the mod folder at the top on first run, and then use the search box to look up whatever you want replaced and go for it. Nothing too complicated; just enough to get the job done.
