📋 About This Mod

(ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈) Please do take the time to read the Mod description first if you have any questions! (ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)

To people who are very kind to showcase the mod in their videos - please understand that it may create confusion if you don't keep the vanilla helmets on in the videos. This is based upon NordwarUA's work from Sons of Skyrim, Guards Armor Replacer and Vanilla Armor Replacer.

I have a bit of anxiety (not a bit, but severe lmao), so exposure like this is very new to me and can get a bit hazardous - so please clarify that the meshes/textures are again created by NordwarUA and are based on the mods above, just with vanilla helmets. I just simply created a plugin that replaced them with what I personally used as a mashup before ❤️ Thank you again regardless!

I might be in the minority of liking the Vanilla Guard Helmets... I like the vibes of anonymous soliders who steals your sweetrolls, yet gaslights you for believing someone else stole it. However, I've been a big fan of NordwarUA's armors over time - especially the works of Sons of Skyrim, Vanilla Armor Replacer (ported by JDJ3) and Guards Armor Replacer (ported by DanielUA), so why not mash 'em up together?

I've kept this mod for my own personal use for some time, and wanted to share it with anyone who'd be interested! ❤️

⁀➴⚔️ L O L L Y G A G G I N ' attempts to secure the feel of the Vanilla guards, yet have a diversity of unique armors across the holds. This is done in not the most conflict-friendly way, but its build was made to be as lightweight as possible!

All credits for the meshes and textures goes to the talented NordwarUA!

Note: I used Xtudo's desaturated textures for the screenshots, however the files include the original textures (2K) from the OG mods which are still great!
