SUMMARY:
This very small patch makes it so that all the Diamond City guard variants from the mod: Varied Diamond City Guards get spawned with Horizon's updated stats. Specifically, this patch uses xEdit (FO4Edit) to merge the <EncSecurityDiamondCityTemplate00> record from Horizon with Varied Diamond City Guards, otherwise all 12 guard variants would be spawned with vanilla stats.


INSTALLATION: (included 2 different options, only choose one of them)
Patch: The first file that can be downloaded is your standard patch. It would be installed if you already have Horizon and Varied Diamond City Guards installed. The patch would be placed below both Horizon and Varied DC Guards (guards.esp).

Replacer: The second file acts as a replacer for the the guards.esp from Varied DC Guards. It would be installed if you prefer to avoid having 1 extra plugin in your load order. If you haven't already downloaded Varied Diamond City Guards by; Cthulhuandme, please make sure to still do so and endorse if you like it, but the .esp from his mod isn't needed. Just make sure to place the "guards.esp" below Horizon with this option.

EXTRA:
On Varied Diamond City Guards' mod page, Cthulhuandme recommends to install: Randomized Diamond City Guard Outfits so that the NPC faces can actually be seen depending on the armor they were spawned with. There would only be a 1/3 chance that they're spawned with their default full helmet. No compatibility patch is needed.

I uploaded this patch because I don't think there is one on the Nexus yet. I've been following BiRaitBec's Fallout 4 Mod List and Load Order Guide which has been thoroughly tested and refined. Not everything is compatible or needed if you're using Horizon, but the user TGM2018 created a great resource guide for following BiRaitBec's modlist while also using the Horizon mod.
