📋 About This Mod

NOTE: only to be used with the full version of Guard Armor Replacer, NOT Minimal ESP.

For Immersive Patrols SE version 3. 0.

Originally this mod made Stormcloak leaders added by Immersive Patrols wear officer armor instead of scaled armor, as seeing them like that with Guards Armor Replacer installed was quite glaring (see images). The next update of Immersive Patrols did this very change.

However, it introduced other inconsistencies if you have both Immersive Patrols and Guards Armor Replacer installed. Now Stormcloak soldiers carried hide shields and iron axes. With this mod, both Stormcloak soldiers and leader will use Stormcloak weapons and shields from Guards Armor Replacer.

There are two versions: one for the Lite version of Immersive Patrols, which just adds the patrols, and other for the main and heavy versions, which also adds battles.

Both files al ESL-fied.
