I'm curious if you guys have experience in removing lots of NPCs, either by deletion or some less destructive means. For NPCs with a smaller role, it seems safe to:
- delete their placed reference & flag their aliases as optional if there are any, or
- move them to a holding cell OnInit and switch them to a 'stay here forever' package
But in the latter case, is there a clean way to ensure they are never pulled back into the game?
Do you try to avoid having the "__ is in use by the following forms" window come up when you delete a reference?
