Changelogs
Thank you to everyone who endorsed and downloaded :D I appreciate the support a lot! I hope the mod was of sufficient quality and any suggestion for improvements are always welcome.


City Guard Shields Re texture
This mod seeks to make the shields of the holds of Skyrim as realistic as possible. Only photos were used in the mod to give the shield the most realistic texture possible. I hope this mod inspires others to try and give Skyrim the most realistic look possible while we still have to deal with DX 10 and Skyrim's original graphics engine.



What The Mod Does
The main focus of the mod is to re texture the guard shield that is used in all the cities and to try and make it look as real as possible. However, the mod also contains textures for all the different symbols for the cities that are on their respective shield (the mod ony rextures the symbol on the shield, it doesn't re texture any other places where the symbol may appear).

What The Mod Contains

The full mod contains all the .dds files for all the symbols of the holds that go on the shield, the .dds files for the shield itself.

Installation
(Of course if you want to install with Nexus Mod Manager you don't have to worry about these instructions)

 For manual installation you literally
should just be able to drag the data folder into your Skyrim directory and merge the folders and then your done. Just please please please make sure you go into Data Files on the Skyrim launcher and the press ok, even if the .esp is already checked you need to do this. If for some reason dragging the data folder does not work please follow the instructions below.


Compatibility
Compatibility depends on what you want on your shield, if you have another mod the replaces the shield textures then the shield texture part of this mod will be overwritten, however the symbol textures will work absolutely fine along with any other shield re-texture
. If you have a mod that re textures the the symbols then the symbols from this mod will be overwritten but the shield texture will be fully compatible (note that these will work just as long as the normal maps for the mod you have are not polar opposite with the ones from this mod, you will notice if this is the case ;) )


Uninstall
(again, if you have NMM don't worry about this unless for some reason the uninstall doesn't work)

If you choose to get rid of the mod simply go to your Skyrim directoyr then Data > textures > armor > stormcloaks and just delete the following files
: (note that if you have any other mod installed that changes the .dds files for the symbols or the .dds for the shield itself
don't delete those files, the name of the files for the shield itself are stormcloaksshield.dds and stormcloaksshield_n.dds, the rest just are named what they are.
To Delete
(I may have spelled some of these wrong so in short the stormcloaksshield.dds along with the _n one and the files that have symbol in their name along with he _n ones)
