Terrarian
Currently, there are 5 town NPCs in the mod, the Corruption Fangirl, the Crimson Fangirl, the Picklock, the Scam Artist, and the Professor.
NPCs
Corru & Crim (From Corru Crim NPCs Mod)
The two fangirls got new sprites that follow the female NPCs strandard design, and hopefully their walking animation is also better now than it was before. Their spawn condition is reversed now - crimstone in inventory for Curru, and ebonstone in inventory for Crim -, so it's easier to get both of them move in. Otherwise their shop works the same way as before, they're selling vanilla stuff related to their respective favorite biome.
Picklock (From Pickloc Mod, a Collab minimod with @Moonlight_Fae)
Like before, this funny guy sells various keys. Currently only vanilla items, but in the future, he could sell keys from other mods too. His spawn condition is a safe in inventory, so he's meant to be a post-Skeletron NPC (he's not selling anything useful before that anyway)
- actually, he is selling gold keys and shadow keys from the time he moves in, so it could be possible to aquire a shadow key early game, but in normal playthrough, safes are only for sale by the merchant post-Skeletron.
Scam Artist (From Scam Artist Mod)
(This NPC does exists in a minimod I released somewhat accidentally before, but it wasn't really announced.)
The Scam artist sells various rare vanilla utility gadgets, vanity and other stuff, waaaaaay overpriced. She meant to help if you want to aquire some rare things but RNG is being unfriendly, but you're rich. She's selling things like Nature's gift, Magic mirror, Umbrella, Hand warmer, etc. from the time she moves in, sells Angler's tackle bag and Fish Finder once you found the Angler, Bezoar after Queen bee, Nazar after Skeletron, and all the rest of the Ankh charm components, as well as all 6 early hardmode ores, and some other stuff in hardmode. So if you're rich, she can help you with crafting the Cell Phone without doing a bajillion quests for theannoying brat angler, and can save time with rare gadgets, as well providing an alternate means to aquire early hardmode ores without smashing any altars or fishing for crates.
She's half a nymph (though won't transform) and she's the daughter of the merchant. She'll move in if you have a piggy bank in inventory.
Professor
This wacky, old professor is interested in researching various stuff, he will move in if player has fossil in inventory. He's selling various insects, crates, and some other stuff such as more fossil. Part of his shop changes with the biome he's in, as well as selling more stuff after certain bosses are down, so it might be good to make houses for him in several biomes and make him move at times to conduct some researches in another biome. He has several things he's selling regardless of the biome, but he has biome-exclusive items for the desert, the jungle, the hallow, and the beach currently. Oh, yeah, and he's selling truffle worms too, post-Plantera.

Items
"Furnitures" - AKA NPCs who aren't technically NPCs
All the "furnitures" that currently are in the mod:
various polearm racks, scarecrows and snowmen.
guard captain's desk, iron armored guards - now with archers added - crimson guards, and possessed armors.
desert town guards (desert town civilian set planned too, but that's for a next update), forest squad, and outlaws.
royals (show a throne to the guide for the recipes)
Dynasty civilian set - monks, and various townspeople. Make your dynasty builds more lively!
Dynasty guards. (The general's desk functions exactly the same as the guard captain's desk)
Dynasty clerks (the clerk's desk functions the same as the guard captain's desk). and a few additional furnitures.
Traveling gypsies, pirates, and a green old hag.
Goblins.
Dwarven set.
Werewolves, Lihzahrds, Lamias, Merfolks, Mermaids and Mermen.
Lunar creatures, solar, and lunar cultists - and the Lunatic cultist...
Odds and ends (some can be placed on tables too, but not all works like that yet...)
Most furnitures can face left or right.
The Guard captain's desk is crafted by hand, with a bar (furniture) and 10 gold coins. It functions as the crafting station for "hire a guard"s and the guards.
Dynasty variants are crafted with ornate dynasty bar instead of the normal wooden bar. they function the same.
Guards are crafted with 1 hire a guard, and metal bars, silk, or various other material.
Civilians, monsters and stuff also use one "hire a guard" in the recipe. They aren't really guards, but this way all recipes can be aquired easily by showing one to the guide.
(Scarecrows, snowmen and some other gadgets doesn't need "hire a guard" to craft)
None of the guards, scarecrows, or anything has any function, right now they're purely decoration. Tables and chairs function as tables and chairs though.

All of these should work now. I would like to add more things to the mod in the future though. For example, pet variant of the guards. Some critters and other stuff could be interesting too.
And of course, more guard variants! Share your ideas on what sorts of guards you would like to see!
It would be nice to add cross-mod content too, eventually.
Guards are craftable, placeable "NPCs". They are stationary and are only be decoration, but they could add a lot to the ambience of places, I think!
Of course, there could be even more variants in the future, and if someone could code them to be actually more than just furnitures, they could do a lot more too, such as walking and talking. They aren't meant to be actual town NPCs, in order to not take up valuable housing slots from the more useful town NPCs who actually sell stuff or provide other things.
And if someone could help with that, it could be interesting to have at least some of them having pet (and maybe even light pet) variants. Wouldn't you want a trusty ally armed with a spear or halberd - or alternative holding a torch? -, to follow you in your adventures?
Special thanks for everyone on Tmodloader discord who helped with getting the town NPCs to work.
