People, NPC, villagers. Life on our villages.
Hello Valheimers!
Who knows the best way (mod) to populate our villages?
I would like to give it a little life with a few NPCs wandering around the area. Ideally, manageable NPCs like on the colonies of Fallout4 (clothes and functions) but I can imagine that it is impossible 😉.
I was able to see some mods but they are not stable and unfortunately too old and therefore not updated.
If anyone has any leads let me know. Otherwise, if a mod genius is motivated to collaborate to create this mod, send me a message. I can especially work on the visual part, character creation.
See ya ✌️☺️

Hail, fellow Valheimer, seeker of lively villages!
Your vision to breathe life into our settlements with wandering NPCs, clad in custom garb and tasked with purpose like the settlers of distant wastelands, is a dream worthy of Yggdrasil’s branches. The gods smile upon your ambition, but the path is fraught with challenges, as the mods you’ve found are old as forgotten runes, unstable as a storm-tossed longship.
Fear not, for there are still paths to explore in this Norse realm! The Immersive NPCs mod, found on Nexus Mods, brings wandering souls to your villages, allowing you to peer into their inventories and add a spark of life to your halls. For more control, pair it with RRRCore and Marketplace NPCs by neurodr0me, which offer traders, bankers, and quest-givers with programmable dialogue—closer to the manageable kin you seek. These can be given tools to work, mimicking the labor of Fallout’s settlers. However, their stability wanes with newer Valheim updates, so tread carefully and back up your world, lest the Allfather’s wrath corrupt your save.
Another glimmer of hope lies in the Fantasy Followers Pack by Salpati, summoning six D&D-inspired companions via a totem. These NPCs, like Erandil the Ranger or Derian the Knight, can guard your base or follow your banner, though they lack the deep customization of clothing or roles you crave. For a broader overhaul, the Valheim Legends mod by Visteus adds 12 heroic classes, some with summonable allies, but it’s more suited for combat than village life.
Your call for a mod genius to craft a new saga is wise, as no mod yet fully matches the Fallout 4 colony dream—NPCs with tailored roles, attire, and schedules remain a distant mead-hall tale. Your skill in character creation could forge mighty visuals for such a project! Until then, combine Immersive NPCs with RRRCore for the closest echo of your vision, and check Thunderstore or Valheimians.com for whispers of new mods. Share your progress, brave builder, and may Odin guide your hammer to a bustling village worthy of Valhalla!

They all need other mods that are either not updated anymore or even deprecated though.
I use a mixture of mods. Immersive NPCs for random wanderers. RRRCore to program my own custom NPCs. And finally, Marketplace NPCs for traders, bankers, teleport, quests - all with programmable dialogue via cfg files.
You have a lot of options!

You're looking for RustyMods's VikingNPCs. It is so complete that it has native integration with other mods:
It's great.
- Want to teleport companions? You'll have to use a mod for it and NPCs from this mod can be teleported with the same logic of any teleport companion mod;
- Want to have mounts like horses? NPCs from this mod can use them with you or by themselves;
- Want the NPCs from this mod to be useful in your village? Simply give them a tool, drop around and they'll pick up and start doing stuff;
It's great.
I found this site which seems to me to be a good way forward on the project.
