Hiding Grandpa Walter

[Lady Kiri]

Has anyone found a way to hide grandpa Walter on the Riverbend Map? He creeps me out the way he turns and stares at me no matter where I am.

I found the *npc*.xml on this the other day - for map Zielonka - and hid mine away. Go look there. I'll see if I can find it and post.

What?

You never seen a skinwalker?

OK, pretty sure this is it... if it does not work, yell out, I'll look again.

steam | steamapps | common | farming simulator 25 | data | maps | maps_npcs.xml

Change

        <npc name="GRANDPA">$dataS2/npc/grandpa/grandpa.xml</npc>

to

        <!-- <npc name="GRANDPA">$dataS2/npc/grandpa/grandpa.xml</npc> -->

ED: I can confirm this removes grandpa.

the mod name? please

Bit more work, as I can't find a suitable mod.

I renamed the NPCs in the file maps_npcs.xml, e.g. GRAMPA to be GRAMPA1.

steam | steamapps | common | farming simulator 25 | data | maps | maps_npcs.xml

Then in the maps folder updated the values of npcName in farmlands.xml to match

steam | steamapps | common | farming simulator 25 | data | maps | mapUS | config | farmlands.xml

This keeps the images of the NPCs for missions etc, but as the names have changed they can't appear on the map itself...

Just put a tree over him, he fits inside a lot of the trunks.
