I downloaded the Bonus Merchants, and after installing it the 2 people that were suppose to appeare didn't!!! I read the instruction carefully and I unzipped everything.... but they won't appear? Can any of u help me????

Have you tried installing it again? It may be some sort of glitch. You tried looking everywhere in the Copper Coronet, I trust?

Yes, 5 times.... the thing worked before.... but it doesn't work now... does XP have to do with this?? And yes I've searched everywhere for the 2 people....

1) Did you reboot the game after 'installing' them?
2) Did you make sure that you unzipped the files, and not the folder?

Yes... oh well, I guess I'll try reinstalling SOA... If it doesn't work, then it's too bad for me.

<font color=white> Have you installed other MODS lately? I haven't heard of a conflict between the Bonus Merchants patch and other mods but it could be. </font>

I believe if in your saved game you've already been in those areas, you won't get them, but I might be misremembering.
