		+
		+	Build error correction into your movement plans. If your NPC absolutely positively has to get to <X,Y,z>, You better have a alternative plan to sending that as a destination to a MOVETO function call once and hoping it arrives....
		+
		+	Animate instead of move. Take advantage of the fact that the siton function can sit an NPC on any prim in the region. Seated NPC's are easy to animate, and they aren't generating avatar capsule collisions.
		+
		+	While the simple generator can be fun to show off, it is also a useful tool to verify that the NPC appearance is what you expect before you place it in your region. Once you start collecting the note cards of different appearances, you will begin to understand the logistics of introducing variety to your sim through NPCs.
