I wanted to report that this mod is not working anymore dunno if it has to do with the new version of immersive armors (v7) or if u have an update coming up, i thank you for the work done but now i can't play as happy as i did when i had this mod active
I actually kinda forgot about skyrim for the past few years and so this has fallen by the way side I doubt that I'll update it to work with the new IA since I'm having a surprisingly hard time finding it. While I might aim to fix it with IA 6 still since my game also no longer runs it and I know not why.
in the mean time consider this:

Essentially what my mod set out to do but sounds better and more complete.
Hi guys i just wanted you guys to know that sometime tomorrow i will have a new version up It will replace the current version in the download slot completely. There will be post Civil war support, But Windhelm will have standard Stormcloak armor. The armors of windhelm will not be alterred. I'm presently debating as to whether or not i should alter the Imperial soldiers to wear heavy in the main file or include it as a seperate .esp in the future. thoughts?
I have to say I half love your mod, only a few of the armors that I can't cope with. One is the Dawnstar (and Winterhold) armor, seems to raider/Forsworn with the skulls. But Whiterun, Morthal, Markarth and Riften are great. Falkreath, eh it's to shiny but all of this more has to do with immersive armors than your mod. But other wise excellent job.
Glad to see you are still working on this. I finally had time to sit down and play a quick Stormcloak run from the beginning. All the holds were excellent! Specially love Morthal's ( had to make an assassin and take him there ). There is one sight problem I ran into. On the Stormcloak side, when the battle for Whiterun takes place, just before smashing the first set of barriers next to the stables, it crashes, constantly. I tried a few things like approaching from a different side, turned off weather type mods, anything I could think of that would cause it to crash but had no luck. I remembered that before I had issues with Whiterun and Falkreath guards being nude after the fight ( I'm the guy who sent you that really long detailed test result). So I unchecked this mod and the battle takes place like normal. After the battle I saved my game, logged out, re-checked HSA 1_1.esp and HSA 1_2.esp and when I walk out of Dragon's reach all the guards are naked like before. I went into sneak and checked their inventory, only thing in there is weapons. No armor (not even the default). So a quick review, Started fresh new game, ran all over the place, no problems, everything looks beautiful. Battle for Whiterun, crash, uncheck, plays fine, take the city, dance a jig, save game, relog, re-check = nude guards. This is again, for the Stormcloaks side. I have not had time to run an imperial side yet. As far as I can tell I have no other mods conflicting with it since it was running great for the 25+ hours I put in prior to taking Whiterun. I'll keep watching this see if fixes pop up. This is a mod that I prefer to have in all my game because of the uniqueness it brings to each hold.
After doing some more testing and moving mods around I think I have found the problem, I think. I did what I could to ensure every guard was naked (bare with me) went into sneak and checked their inventory. Every NPC EXCEPT for the Stormcloak soldiers that now occupy Whiterun have their respective armors from Immersive Armors. I used the resetinventory command and was able to reset everyone and move on except for white run because they do not have any armor to reset to. I hope this helps narrow down the fix. For now I will sadly have to uninstall it and run with option B for Stormcloak gear. I look forward to this being resolved so I can reinstall it.
Yeah i've noticed that predominantly StormCloak Soldiers are the cause of most of the crashes and the glitches that i've experienced. So to adress the issue I'm rebuilding it from the ground up And i'm hoping that this will fix it. It will be 1 .esp I'm hoping that it won't require dawnguard dragonborn or Hearthfire. I've done basically a clean install of skyrim to work on it this time and i'm hoping this will adress the msot of the compatability issues.
I am Sorry i have been gone Forever though. I am back and E3 put me in the mood to work since i'm bored off my ass and my friends canceled our weekly DnD today
Back to mod though, Some of the issues you describe i think are caused by how the 2 .esps were accidentally made. I'm hoping to include post civil-war support with this one if you want to test it out again? for me. I have another friend working with me on this too i hope we had issues getting it running on his so i'm using his verseion to solve the incompatability issue.
Great to hear! I will be more than happy to resume testing, I have 3 more days of finals then I graduate and will have some free time to catch up on game related events. This mod is really a must have for any play through. I will get back in touch this weekend most likely.
I definately have it working crash free no DLC this time i think I haven't tried post Civil war try to keep it in the load order after Immersive armors just in case but i think it's on the right track
I installed the updated version, logged in on my stormcloak, went to white run and SUCCESS!!! I was able to reset the inventory for any guard that was still naked, I was able to do the same in Solitude. Did a quick check with all the other cities except for Riften because my guy has not made it there yet on this play through. To do it right, I should restart this char, I have 2 more finals to take then the weekend to play perhaps this should be a good time to replay from the beginning.
I do have to admit, I kind of miss the bulky fur looking armor the war chief provides (minus the skulls), and I do miss the armor the white run guards were wearing. Now that white run and falkreath are stormcloak territory it feels like there needs to be an updated stormcloak armor so they make a louder statement than just wearing the original.
As for some armor suggestions: .. this was my Stormcloak back up: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/27492/? and I am using this for my Imperials: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/6085//? I like the way the armor looks as apposed to skirt wearing Roman appearance, but this is my opinion.
What would be a good stormcloak look, possibly, the warchief stompers, hands, head, and I am not sure how to do it yet because I have not had time to delve into some armor creations, but combining the warchief curis with the storm cloak, so that it had the blue but thicker padding and fur tuffs like the war chief, basically the center area were the bones are would look similar to the blue cloth (not sure what to call this),, but just an idea.
I think the concept of different holds having unique looks is a must have. In my opinion all holds except for Falkreath, were spot on prior to the war.
I will also try to do a quick run through on the imperial side to see how things work that way.
There is a seperate File for the Cities Guards, Whiterun and Solitudes City guards post Civil War should be wearing Stormcloak Guard uniforms and the guards in falkreath should be wearing a hunters uniform after the civil war. if a stormcloak victory. I do plan on re-introducing it. I'm just not sure exactly what went wrong. I think the instability was actually caused by other mods but i want to make sure this is a stable variant first before introducing more armors.
I'm also trying to decide weather to make it a .esm with .esps that switch out various guards armors or simply keep seperate .esps for everything. I'm thinking that latter will be more time consuming but ultimately the easier experience for users.
I did see that stormcloak mod and i was interested in contacting the maker to see if he would mind but at the same time i like that the immersive armors mod is pretty standard i think for most people who are looking for something like this and having that as the only real requirement. Same for the other. I could definately and would be willing to eventually create more optional variants but i would like to package any other requirements with my mod for maximum useability and minimal inconvenience i'd have to talk with those folks. I also do not know enough about the mod manager so such mods would likely be manual install only. I do not know anything about modelling and i've dabbelled in texturing but it did not end well. Originally back in the planning stages i was going to modify variants of the armors to have sigils or particular colors of their holds on the armors but i wasn't able to produce quality results so i nixed the idea. If anyone could do this though i'd gladly ask hoth and other modders for permision to actually modify their armors.
What i can do is mix and match armor pieces. So if there is a combination of armors in the Immersive set you think would give a nice yield there i can try it out in a later version.
Are you refering to previous version of the game (with the what's it called... Falkreath/baratheon armor?) or this one? This one changes pre civil war falkreath to mercenary. i wasn't too keen on it and i think i need to definately change the helmet after tripping there a few times But i may just end up giving them Iron armor. I don't want them to have super fancy armor but at the same time i don't want their armor to be.... tooo... common? i guess. What armors do you think would work well with falkreath?
I just wiped my slates clean, starting new fresh run, I will take a look at the updated Falkreath, but ya, I was referring to the Berathian look. Let me do some running around and I will provide more feed back. The fact that you can mix and match armors, that might just work. I will get back with some suggestions on that one.
Updated my OS to windows 8 so play time got pushed back a bit, I did however find something that might work for a storm cloak replacer, its components look like everything incorporated from IA and aside from little bit more fur around the shoulders this is close to what I was picturing.
I like the armor and now i'm just waiting for a response. I still need to update the pictures if you find any good opportunities and i have this set to allow public upload feel free to post them up.
I do have one suggestion thus far, swap Falkreath and Riften around, putting the Mercenary look on the Riften and the Ranger look on Falkreath I think makes better sense.
Made it to each city, snapped some shots, took home souvenirs galore. Uploaded some images for you to check out. So far everything is going ok, no glitches, no nude guards, nothing like that yet. About to start the Stormcloak side of the Cival War and see what happens.
I load the .ESPs in the correct order (Hothtrooper44's armor.ESP, HSA 1_1.ESP, HSA 2_2.ESP) but when I load the game, the guards all look normal. I've tried starting a new game, leaving and entering the area, and going to all 9 holds. I have all the DLC, so that isn't the issue.
@Cyrodiilslegion Yes immersive armors for NPCs should be completely compatible with this mod because it doesn't edit any of the same bits i do as far as i know it edits specific Named NPCs where as i blanket edited only the guards and created new itemlists instead of using existing ones. So any named character using an
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/27679 you should contact the author of this mod i had it installed when i started a new game and i didnt have a problem with imperials take a look at the mod i think its great also maybe you guys can work together i really like this mod it gives specific armors to certain people ill try out you mod in the near future your is a great idea indead i like that part of the imperials and the blades the most
Crashing before logo for me also, check compatibility with Apachii. And I dont like that guards are pretty much copies of each other inside specific holds. Try to make them look more varied.
