I recently installed custom npcs mod for a map I'm in the process of working on. I used magic launcher to install it and already have forge and the optifine compatible with forge on it. In my magic launcher it says "no mods found" which usually means it cant find the class files of the mods but I don't even know where they are... I may be doing something obviously wrong but here is my magic launcher and logs from it help would be fantastic!

PS I suck at spoilers.... well I dont know how to do them go ahead laugh at me
Well over a year later, I look at my posts tab and see my post, and realized I have solved the problem a LONG time ago and never said anything! I doubt you are still having the problem, but I found that magic launcher is just too buggy. Just run the forge installer and put the custom npcs mod in the folder home/.minecraft/mods/
