** For Players: This prevents certain random crashes while sleeping, especially after selling many items to Pierre or Willy
** For Modders: This prevents null return values from "Utility.getRandomTownNPC" (e.g. due to Harmony patches) and removes null items within "Game1.UpdateShopPlayerItemInventory"
** Fixed with help from atravita and glymr

Custom NPC Exclusions allows other mods to exclude NPCs from certain quests and events, especially those that randomly select NPCs. This can be useful for story or compatibility reasons, e.g. to prevent custom NPCs outside Pelican Town posting delivery quests, saying they purchased items from the local stores, etc.

1. Install the latest version of SMAPI. 2. Download Custom NPC Exclusions from the Files tab, the Releases page on GitHub, or ModDrop. 3. Unzip Custom NPC Exclusions into the Stardew Valley/Mods folder.
