About this mod
A pickaxe isn't a great weapon to use when going up against a dragon, but it can work a little better when you have an essential flag! Now those mine foremen that reward your hard work will stay safe and sound! Comes with ESP and BAT version

First, I saved your dogs.
Then, some of your merchants.
Now, I'm saving your mine foremen.
Though it can stand on its own, I made this mod with Run For Your Lives in mind. Go download them, then come back.

+ This mod should be placed high in your load order, BEFORE any mods that make changes to mine foremen. Check the readme for a list of specific NPCs.
+ To ensure compatibility with Expanded Towns and Cities, place "Essential NPCs - Mine Foremen" BEFORE any ETaC esp files.
+ To ensure compatibility with Arthmoor's towns, place "Essential NPCs - Mine Foremen" BEFORE the following:
1. Shor's Stone
2. Soljund's Sinkhole
3. Whistling Mine
4. Darkwater Crossing
5. Kynesgrove
+ Compatibility with Immersive Citizens - AI Overhaul is UNKNOWN. Proceed with caution.
+ "Essential NPCs - Mine Foremen" is INCOMPATIBLE with Mine Foremen Sell Ore. Mine Foremen Sell Ore requires the original standalone Unofficial Skyrim Patch, while Essential NPCs - Mine Foremen requires the more up-to-date USLEEP. I will NOT be making a compatibility patch; either use the BAT version instead or use the TES5Edit swap masters script on Mine Foremen Sell Ore.
