No Essential NPC's

Description
*I NO LONGER SUPPORT THIS MOD*

Mod Description:
==============
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK*
This removes the essential flag from all NPC so they can be killed.

*Killing an essential NPC can/will BREAK a game quest if the game requires that NPC for a quest to work.

Most essential NPC's have a protection flag, which basically means they can only be killed by you.
I decided to do this because many accidents can happen, such as a dragon killing an NPC without your awareness,etc.

Please rate and if this mod was useful to you, recommend it.
ENJOY THE MOD!

NOTE: Im aware that some NPC's still won't die even after using this mod, it just so happens that in order to fix this, you would have to find someone greatly devoted and with enough time to spare because it would take a lot of hours/weeks to get it done. Basically most quests have essential flags set to actors, every quest has a stage, the game has about +200 quests without counting the stages, so what we have here is roughly +800 stages or so, that means someone would have to go and search on each single quest and stage for essential flags and remove them and that someone won't be me, so this is the best we can hope...

Changelog:
=========

Rev1:
• Mod is released.

Rev2:
• Removed missing essential flags.

Rev3:
• Added a protection flag to most post non-essential NPC's.

Rev4-6:
• Minor fixes.

Rev7:
• Removed essential flags from missing NPC's and set some NPC's back to essential (deities).

Rev8:
• Updated for Dawnguard, made Dawnguard characters non-essential and protected
   • Some NPC's are still unkillable after removing their essential flag, read the "NOTE" above the changelog.

Rev9:
• Rollback to Rev7 since the mod was crashing for people who didnt own Dawnguard.

Protip:
=====
Note: If for whatever reason you need a killed npc just open the console with tilde key (~) and type
"help [npc.name.here] 0" (also make sure you put the npc name in quotes if it has any spaces in the name) find the base.id of that npc and then type "player.placeatme <base.ID> <amount>"

For example: "player.placeatme 7 1"
the number "7" is the reference id for the player character and "1" is the amount of that NPC, meaning is going to spawn a "player" near to the player's character.
or simply resurrect him/her by clicking the NPC while the console is open and then type "resurrect" without quotes.
