Siesta - NPC Performance for Schedule I
🛟 Need help or found a bug? Get support at support.doodesch.de.
Distant NPCs take a siesta so your FPS doesn't. Siesta puts off-screen, far-away NPCs to sleep - hiding them and pausing their movement/schedule - then wakes them cleanly as you approach. Works on every NPC in the world, including ones added by other mods.
Features
- Distance + visibility LOD for all NPCs. Off-screen NPCs beyond a configurable distance are hidden (no render/animation cost); far, idle, non-essential ones also have their movement and schedule paused (the NavMeshAgent is the biggest per-NPC cost).
- Functionality-first. Dealers attending a deal, employees mid-task, customers in a deal, story/quest NPCs, anyone in dialogue, in a vehicle, KO'd or near any player are never paused - only ever hidden.
- Clean wake-up. A woken NPC re-enables its schedule, catches up to the current in-game time, resumes movement and repairs its NavMesh placement before it is shown again - no T-pose, no stuck agents.
- Multiplayer safe. Hiding is purely local per client; the movement/schedule pausing runs only on the host who owns NPC simulation, so there is no desync.
- Cheap and self-tuning. A small, fixed number of NPCs is re-checked per frame, so the mod's own cost stays flat regardless of how many NPCs exist.
- MoreNPCs auto-compat. Auto-detects an incompatible Fannso's MoreNPCs build on prefixed IL2CPP and stabilizes it so the game stops crash-spamming (opt-out).
Requirements
- Schedule I (IL2CPP) with MelonLoader 0.7.3+.
- S1API (pulled in as a dependency).
- Optional: Mod Manager & Phone App for the in-game settings UI.
How much FPS will I gain?
The win scales with how many NPCs are far from you - it's biggest in NPC-dense saves (e.g. with NPC-adding mods) and small in sparse spots, because NPC simulation isn't always the dominant frame cost. Siesta only ever removes work for NPCs you aren't looking at, so it's a safe, free-when-idle optimization.
