I’m trying to simulate a 6-pin device where 2 pins are NC according to the model file (pins 3 and 5).
The KiCAD symbol has those pins as Unconnected, which I hope is correct.
But in the Pin Assignment window in the schematic simulator setup it’s impossible to assign two Not Connected pins. Either only one is allowed, or KiCAD insists that NC has to be assigned. But that’s not possible to two pins. I’m at my wit’s end.
How to proceed?

You may set one node to ‘unconnected’, the other to ‘NC’.
If successful, however, you then have to un-check current and power measurement for transient simulation, as otherwise then there is another Eeschema/ngspice bug when two or more unconnected nodes are there. eeschema may send ‘unconnected’ nodes to ngspice which have the same name, ngspice then fails. I have corrected this in ngspice (available in ngspice-44). Better to fix this in Eeschema.
