I'm getting an error regarding an NPC type(s) on startup. What should I do?
Make sure all of your NPC type .JAR files are in the %ROOT%/plugins/Citizens/types directory.

Can I give my NPCs custom skins?
Citizens does not officially support custom skins and never will. However, for custom skins and other client-side Citizens additions, it is recommended that you use CitizenSpout by mbsuperstar1.

How come my NPC won't talk?
You must be holding the configurable talk-item. You can change this item in citizens.yml under the node item.talk-items. The default item is a book (ID 340).

Why isn't the /toggle command working?
This is a conflict with xAuth. Use an alias: /tog or /t.

I am getting errors, and none of the developers respond to my questions in the thread. What should I do?
To get a response from a developer, it is key that you follow the directions in the README file that is packaged in Citizens.jar. You can also view it here.
