Is there a mod to make more NPC's essential?
There are some options to make them Protected, like {{Protect your People - PyP - Better NPC Protection SE}}, so the only one who can kill them is you. Another option is using a Synthesis patcher, which goes through your load order and sets the Protected flag to named NPC's.

What's Your Modding Process?
After all that, I load up my entire load order in xEdit to look for any conflicts, and manually patch where necessary. Some things are inevitably going to conflict and I adjust the load order depending on which mod I want to overwrite the other. Synthesis is another amazing tool that can patch your whole load order for a variety of different mods, I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already.

Scripting in xEdit is a nightmare.
I highly recommend using mutagen/synthesis instead of xedit scripts. Mutagen uses C# and is generally intuitive.

Mutagen/Synthesis is an amazing tool and you should learn to write patchers using them.

So why is Sinitar's "guide" so terrible anyway? An Essay
Ideally we would have/get a loot alternative that uses something like the Mutagen Library to sort plug-ins based on their internal records and not their names while still allowing those custom community maintained sort rules.
What are some alternatives?
