(*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!








Hard Requirements:
- None


Soft Requirements
:

- Weapons Armor Clothing and Clutter Fixes for WACCF Patch!
- Sound Record Distributor (for Immersive Sounds Compendium patch!)

I've created a short FOMOD installer featuring a few options to choose from:

⁀➴ WACCF patch to appropriately rename armors + work with Weapons Armor Clothing and Clutter Fixes tweaks.
⁀➴
A .yaml file to patch with Immersive Sounds Compendium (Sound Record Distributor required!)

The plugin was created in SSEEDIT and is ESL.
USSEP records were forwarded, but USSEP is not required.
Note: I created this replacer in the 1.6.640 version (Plugin v.1.70), and it should work regardless of the new update.

NB! Please do double-check if everything was properly installed on your end.
I test out my mods, but sometimes I might miss something and modlists differ!

RECOMMENDED MODS:
Guards and Stormcloaks Armors Retexture SE by xavbio (they've got really nice retextures for a lot of stuff, please check them out!)
Sigils of Skyrim by JDAnchor
(My absolute favorite for retexturing Hold Banners- and Shields! Please check out their other works!)
Lollygaggin' - Vanilla Helmet Patch by Spongeman131 (will better match up the metallics from this mod onto the vanilla guard helmets!)

USER RECOMMENDATIONS:
Such Immersive Guard Helmets by Kulharin
(for anyone who would want Vanilla helmet diversity, instead of the default guard helmets! Patch is included in their optional files!)






Sons of Skyrim - Incompatible? (Needs feedback) as I've made edits to records that may conflict, and this replacer is based upon this overall.
+ RMB SPIDified - Sons of Skyrim - Should be compatible? (Needs feedback) from what I understand, the edit of the original
plugin distributes outfits via SPID
(but then you won't see my replacer! ˙◠˙ )

Guards Armor Replacer - Incompatible? (Needs feedback) as I've made edits to records that may conflict, and this replacer is based upon this overall.

Legacy of the Dragonborn SSE - Compatible with patch - Xtudo's patch here.

Improved closefaced helmets
- Reported to be compatible! (Load this mod below/after Lollygaggin')

Semi-Open Guard Helmets - Reported to be compatible!

Any mods that edit these records are incompatible (see spoiler):


Spoiler:  
Show


Overwrite any mods that touch these records with Lollygagging Fashions.esp!



BODYSLIDES

I unfortunately haven't made specifc Bodyslides for this, HOWEVER.
I've kept the filepathing the same, so bodysliders for NordwarUA's armors should still be compatible:

CBBE & 3BA:
NordwarUAs Armor Replacers - Female (CBBE)
Guards Armor Replacer SSE - 3BA Realistic Bodyslide Files
Sons of Skyrim 3BA Unibody Conversion (REMOVE THE PLUGIN AND BASHTAGS FOLDER!)

SOSAM:
Lollygaggin' SOSAM Refit

HIMBO:
Sons of Skyrim - HIMBO and 3BA (USE 1.1 VERSION, 2.0 switches the Markarth Guard to the updated one!)
NordwarUA's Guards Armor Replacer - HIMBO Bodyslide
NordwarUA's Vanilla Armor Replacers - HIMBO Bodyslide





1.
Mid-save Installations can cause some issues! ⋆˙⟡♡
All my mods get tested on New Saves - as it's not always the best practice to uninstall/install mods mid-save!
- The mod may or may not cause naked guards if installing this mid-save.
(I've had some mixed reports)
- This may also be caused by uninstalling previous replacers mid-save - or anything that touched the outfit records for the guards
(via SPID, script or just outfit records).

To alleviate this (if you really insist on installing this mid-save):
Open the console - and type the console command 'resetinventory' on the guards that are being lewd!

Apologies again for not being more clear about this! ❤️










You are allowed to modify the mod, and then upload it as your own as long as you credit me - (publicly and privately).
❗IF YOU'RE ONLY REPLACING SOME OF THE ARMOR MESHES - Consider to include my plugin, or don't, it's mainly for ease of use.
You are allowed to create patches! (SkyPatch it, SPID it, up to you!)
❌Please do not include any of my mods in paid modlists.

I used NordWarUA's assets, so please credit appropriately and read their permission usage beforehand!


❤️Feel free to reverse-mod my plugin if you want to make your own Guard Replacer!


⁀➴ I'm not open for edits, in the case of using another mesh for a certain Guard Armor - this is my own personal choice. You can configure it on your own if you wish to!
⁀➴ I'm not planning to add cloaks, as it's not my thing and adding SMP to those cloaks will blow up my PC. (·•᷄‎ࡇ•᷅)


Finally,
I'm a person who enjoys modding Skyrim on her freetime, along with training to become big buff Nord at the gym with a 9-5 job. Therefore, I might be very bad at replying at once! Sorry about that! ( • ᴖ • 。)

Show respect & avoid malicious feedback! xx ❤️

SPECIAL THANKS ~

DarkFox127 - For all the great tutorial videos he publishes on YouTube. After 4 years of modding on my own, his videos have been very helpful
in navigating and understanding Creation Kit and FOMOD processes.

The people who are so kind and supportive of my previous replacers - I always wanted to try share my creations, but am usually overcome by anxiety, so small kindness goes a long way for me! ( •   • 。) ❤️

My ENB is a mess of edits/tweaks off of other ENB tweaks with a personal reshade preset.
