📋 About This Mod
This seeks to address some of the shortcoming of vanilla Riverwood guards: they had a campsite, but none used it. They were on patrol 24/7. This adds a small barracks, gives the guards semi-realistic schedules with rotating shifts. Guard
Riverwood Guard Overhaul fixes the vanilla guards' unrealistic behavior by adding a barracks and giving them rotating shifts with semi-realistic schedules. A small but focused overhaul for Skyrim players who want more immersive guard routines.
