Disable any NPC (no more phobias) (Supports DLC)

This mod is a legacy version of SolowD's old mod "Remove Ants and Hand Spiders (Not Only)". I'm not its creator nor a modder, just thought it would be useful to share it since I can't find any other mods that would help. This mod basically clears NPC related files (making it impossible to spawn)

Disable any NPC

🎮 **Make "Elden's Ring" more friendly to players with phobias! **

✨ Module function

This mod allows you to **completely disable any NPC** in the game, especially for players who are afraid of specific enemies due to phobias or other reasons!

🔧 Installation requirements

• **Required**: Mod Engine 2
• After downloading, extract it to a dedicated folder

-Create a chr folder within the mod folder (for placing mod files)

📁 File description

The module contains 4 core files to implement the disabling function by replacing the ID of a specific NPC.

🔍 How to find NPC ID

You can find the NPC ID you want to ban through the following resources:

• Google Sheets document (with full NPC list)
• Smithbox GitHub repository (contains DLC NPC ID, please note the risk of spoilers)

Use "Ctrl + F" to search for a specific NPC name on the page to find the corresponding ID.

🛠️ How to use

• Download the module file and unzip it (Thanks to dylan for providing the turtle file!)
• Replace the IDs of the 4 files with the ID of the target NPC
• For example, to remove all giant ants, change the file ID to 4280
• Place all files into the chr folder of Mod Engine 2
• Launch the game through launchmod_eldenring

⚠️ Notes

• When resting at a Blessing Point near a disabled enemy, the loading time will be extended (about 10-15 seconds)
• Compatible with other modules, but needs to replace the chr file of the relevant NPC
• Although not a perfect solution, it can significantly improve the gaming experience for players with phobias

🌟 **How ​​it works**: By clearing the file contents of each NPC, the game cannot fully load these characters, thereby achieving the disabling effect.
