I was looking at the Alchemist NPC's trades and noticed that Super Healing Potions are extremely cheap for how good they are. Otherwise great mod!
 
Any chance the Old Champion might get better sprites for his wares?

Very nice mod, gives me more NPCs to liven things up a bit with, but man does he break immersion.

^ This. I have over 40 npcs in my housing and getting the painter into the crimson biome via king statue, wich picks a random male npc, no thank you :D
I think there is a mod that let you capture the npc with bug net. you can drop them off as when you "use" the item latter, not sure it works with all mods but it does work with vanila
 
It Would Be Cool If You Add A NPC That Sell Plants And Seeds It Would Pretty Useful I Like This Mod A Lot
 
Also, it would be nice if modded materials (like Victory Shards, or any small material) and summons for rare Thorium enemies were sold if not already. Like Hags, Brown Recluses, Boulders, Gilded Slimes/Lycans, La Fantome, and Minotaurs. Maybe even the Globee. And perhaps have an NPC sell you Legendary/Rare Item Variants.
 
Hey,Gortart! @Gortart
Can you update this mod config so we can disable some npcs in game because there are too many npcs with other mods.Lots of thanks
