-----What this mod does:-----
Isn't it weird that if you get a guard's uniform they don't think you're one, even if your sneak is really high. This mod changes that. If you put on guard armor or shield you might be mistaken for one of them, and even get away with a bounty. But it doesn't work all the time (see 'How it works.' below) and you might be recognized and your bounty increased. Some Guard Disguise mods that I found just removed your bounty, but none could ever recognize that you were a fake.
Since you can now sneak into the castle as a guard more easily it would make sense to rob the count. Unfortunately in original Oblivion you wouldn't get much loot. This mod changes that too making the count's much richer. It adds tons of chests, display cases and just overall clutter to make the risk worthwhile. This change makes the castle private quarters much more believable and lifelike. (There are some exceptions though. Read below)

-----How it works:-----
To get the chance of weather you will be recognized as a guard or not the program runs a complex equation.
If you don’t have a bounty on your head and you put on a piece of guard armor then the chance of you not being recognized is:
Your sneak skill + 5 / 100
If you’re lucky you’ll be assigned the appropriate faction rank (castle faction for armor and guard faction for shield) in the town whose armor you’re wearing. If you are recognized as a fake then your bounty will be increased by 500.
If you do have a bounty on your head and you put on a piece of guard armor then the chance of you not being recognized is:
Your sneak skill - 30 / 100
If you’re lucky you’ll be assigned the appropriate faction rank (castle faction for armor and guard faction for shield) in the town whose armor you’re wearing and your bounty will be cleared until you take the armor off. If you are recognized as a fake then your bounty will be increased by 600.
Once you take off the armor the faction ranks will be removed and your bounty (if you had any) will go back to what it was before.
If you are caught committing a crime while being while cloaked as a guard you’re faction rank will be removed and you will get a bounty.
Note: guard helms and Imperial Guard Armor have no effects.

-----Exceptions:-----
Kvatch town armor and shield have no effects.
Skngrad Castle was not changed because the count would not allow his guards in anyway.
Leyawiin Castle was not changed because there are two counts, and I was afraid of messing something up with ownership.

-----Incompatibility:-----
This mod will not be compatible with any mods that put a script on guard armor or shields. It is also in some cases incompatible with mods that modify the crime gold bounty, but not always. Some of them will work with this mod.

-----Installation:-----
Just copy into the data folder in your oblivion directory.
