Please indicate which patrol has issues, so I can resolve any problems faster.


           Optional (NOT REQUIRED): Use CLOAKS OF SKYRIM + optional DAWNGUARD file by Noodles,
if you want to have cloaks show up on this mod. If not, no cloaks. Great mod.


           Optional (NOT REQUIRED): Use HUSKY 2K VARIANTS - AN AUTOMATIC VARIANTS PACKAGE by PlagueHush,
if you want different colored dogs.
                                                    
You will also need AUTOMATIC VARIANTS by Leviathan1753.

          Optional (NOT REQUIRED): Use MOUNTED COMBAT FOR EVERYONE AND COMBAT UPGRADES by rymon23,
if you want mounted combat for my riders


If you want armored trolls in the patrols, Krinifes has uploaded an ESP replacer:  HOP - Horses On Patrol - Dawnguard Armored Trolls




***** LOAD ORDER *****

-Use LOOT. You can keep this pretty low. It only adds new NPCs to the game.

My riders will fight on horseback with this mod below installed. Pretty cool, huh.

DESCRIPTION


This mod adds 9 mounted Dawnguard patrols to the game. It also adds a stable near the entrance to Dayspring Canyon.
Stablemaster and stable husky are added as well. Stable Master is protected and sells hoods and hats.
The 2 mounted patrols near the stable will return to the stable and sandbox at different times.
If they die, their horses return to the stable.

Added along this road are 3 tents and Dawnguard foot patrols that will sleep and sandbox.
 
Added at the exterior of Fort Dawnguard is a Dawnguard , a single rider with 2 dogs following and a tall Dawnguard with a large husky following.

Added inside Fort Dawnguard are 3 Dawnguard that will sandbox and sleep. 
Also, added 2 bodyguards that follow Isran (they will sleep when Isran sleeps in cots near bed).

Leaders are now nonessential. Everyone respawns. Map marker with fast travel now.

No mounted combat (beyond my comprehension). Riders will dismount to attack.
Use  Mounted Combat For Everyone and Combat Upgrades by rymon23 . See above video

INSTALL/UNINSTALL


-Use NMM. 
-Add/remove files and ESP manually if need be.

For new versions: Deactivate and then delete old version. Make clean save. Then, activate new version. Load clean save.
I believe this is the safest way.




COMPATIBILITY


Compatible with all my mods

Not compatible with any mod that changes navmesh or landscape near the stable or tents

Not fully compatible
with:

-
When Vampires Attack
- Run For Your Lives
- Holidays

My NPCs will be called into buildings, even though they are part of the correct exemption faction.
Horses might follow, even though they shouldn't be able to go through doors.
 
I use
"NPCs Protected Redux and Extra Guards", instead.
You can also use "
Immersive Citizens". It doesn't affect the behavior of NPCs riding horses.
