If I am ingame standing in one spot to create a new npc, I simply do this : 
 
#spawn (name_whatever) (shows up as human, intially) 
#npcspawn create (with npc targetted) 
#repop 
 
Then do any #npcedit 's needed. (race, whatever) But to each their own. 
I actually have hotkeys for the npcspawn create and repop.
