Guards walk with baton out.

[kevin]

I don't know why, but all of my guards walk with their batons out. I thought that they only take them out when they are about to fight someone. I tried firing all of them and rehiring them, but nothing has worked.

Do you have any mods installed that affect either weapons or contraband? Sometimes these mods cause glitches such as what you're describing.

the only mod I have enabled is the better clock mod + skip hour.

Do you have the "guards walk around always with their batons out" mod active?

Ah well, that was all I could think of, I had a similar problem that turned out to be a mods fault.

If you start a new map, and hire a guard before there are any prisoners, do they still brandish their batons or no?

The issue was resolved, I found out that it is actually from a bug.
You see, I made a copy of my prison and then modified the text file to allow cheats.
I enabled see all contraband, then I opened my prison without cheats. For some reason, it was showing all of my contraband still even in the prison without cheats. Also, when you have cheats enabled all guards walk with their batons out.

Thanks for the update, I'm glad to hear you got things sorted.
