🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since the mod adds routines, check if any of your other mods alter NPC schedules—conflicts could cause NPCs to stand around.
If you use a mod manager, install this as a separate mod to easily disable it if you encounter issues.
Visit a few stores at night to see the robot vendors in action—it's the mod's signature feature.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust: 1,210 endorsements and 274,917 downloads—clearly a must-have for immersion fans.
- Adds life to otherwise static NPCs, making cities feel alive with schedules and night-shift robots.
- Lightweight concept: no new quests or dialogue, just routine tweaks that fit seamlessly into the game.
👎 Cons
- No install instructions or compatibility notes provided by the author—you're on your own for setup.
- Last updated June 2026, but no confirmation it works with the latest game version or other mods.
- Only affects NPC routines; if you're looking for new content or quests, this won't satisfy that itch.
