⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017, so it may be incompatible with the latest Skyrim versions or other mods.
- No detailed documentation or compatibility notes provided by the author.
- Scaling guards to your level might make them too weak or too strong depending on your build.
For Skyrim players who find guards too tanky and want them to be killable and level-scaled. Also for those who hate losing gold when knocked out. Skip if you prefer guards to remain essential and unkillable.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod changes guard behavior, it's best to load it after other gameplay overhauls to ensure compatibility.
- If you use a mod manager, install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder to avoid conflicts.
- Test the mod early in a new save to see if guard scaling feels balanced for your playstyle.
