 When a simulator is restarted, any NPCs on that sim's regions will not automatically reappear. Much like dynamic textures, NPCs are a transient and non-persistant asset that is not stored in any database. So any scripts that controls an NPC will need to have a mechanism in place to detect wether an NPC is currently instantiated, and recreate it if it is not.
