Description
==========NOTICE==========
Changes can take up to one in-game week to take full effect. Alternatively, you can use the console command "resurrect" to manually force a reroll on the selected guard. Please make sure you have tried both before posting an error.

Do not expect this mod to be compatable with other mods that affect guards in any way shape or form. Before making a post concerning a bug, please disable all other mods and try the steps above. 90% of the time, a bug is caused by an incompatability and not a problem with the mod itself.

To "resurrect":
1) Approach guard you would like to change.
2) Open your console command field (usually the ` key or ~ key).
3) Click on the guard you would like to change.
4) type "resurrect" (without quotes) and hit Enter.
5) Close console command field (usually the ` key or ~ key).
==========================


A mod that makes guards much more dynamic, shattering their monotony and freeing them of their clone-like upbringing.

This provides hold guards with all new custom-skinned, hold-specific outfits, along with randomized helm variants. No more full-helmed identical guards at every hold, and no more short sleeves in the blizzards of Winterhold.

This mod is an improved standalone version of RNG (Dynamic) Guard Helmets, going beyond just helmets and into the entirety of the Guard NPCs. It is thus incompatabile with RNG Helmets as it already includes it. If you have already installed/subscribed to RNG (Dynamic) Guard Helmets, please uninstall/unsubscribe before adding this one.

As of v2.0, I have begun work on making all guards look and behave more appropriately to their region. This includes new custom, yet balanced weapons and armor, behavioural changes, and other various tweaks to improve the immersion. You can view the changelog below for more detailed information.

For those having trouble with the Steam Workshop: You can find RNG Guards on the Nexus at http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=9323

Any and all questions/suggestions/comments are welcome! Just leave 'em below and remember to rate!

@Sparkiss19
theoretically, it should. the desc says that it added new armor rather than changing it.

Well, I've not seen any naked Guards :( With another mod I use (cant remember which one), female guards would be completly NAKED, so I'm on the look out for em :D :D :D

For anyone wondering how to fully uninstall, I suggest just killing all the guards and letting them respawn...
