📋 About This Mod
Adds GAR gear to people that should have it in the capital expansions, starting with Whiterun. I'll also add any other Capital Patches I make that don't need open cities here. The loadscreen shield replacer sets the load screenshield asset used in some places in whiterun to use the same nif as a normal shield, but it makes the asset off centre as shown in the images. Up to you to decide if you like it!
This patch adds Guards Armour Replacer (GAR) gear to guards in the Capital Expansions mod, starting with Whiterun. It's a compatibility patch for players using both mods, with 419 endorsements and 18,953 downloads, last updated in April 2021.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 419 endorsements and nearly 19k downloads.
- Fills a real gap—guards in Capital Expansions get proper GAR gear.
- Simple patch, does exactly what it says.
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers Whiterun so far—other holds may be missing.

- Requires both Capital Expansions and Guards Armour Replacer, so it's useless without them.
For Skyrim players who use both Capital Expansions and Guards Armour Replacer and want visual consistency in Whiterun. Skip if you don't use both mods or if you're not bothered by mismatched guard gear.
