= Notes
– If there are missing NPCs when you enter the Castle just leave the area and wait for 1-2 days then come back, the NPCs should be back in their place
– for any other bugs you might encounter like CTDs etc. try changing your Load Order, try loading this on Last or First, and also look for any conflicting mods you have activated
– make sure you pasted the Textures, Meshes and ESP in the correct location
– if NPCs in the castle have “gray faces” make sure that the textures and meshes folder are in the correct places OR open Creation Kit and select all the NPCs in this mod and press Ctrl + F4 to export the facegen data to fix the bug
