Version 0.2
- Some of the new guards weren't set to respawn

- Stormcloak guards for Darkwater Crossing are now named "Eastmarch Guard."
- Original guard for Merryfair Farm was named "Rift Guard," changed to "Rift Hold Guard."
- Original guards for Riverwood and Rorikstead were named "Whiterun Guard," changed to "Whiterun Hold Guard."
- Original guards for Sarethi Farm were named "Rift Guard," changed to "Rift Hold Guard."
- Original guard for Show-Shod Farm was named "Riften Guard," changed to "Rift Hold Guard."
- More guards are now set to use one-handed weapons so they will also use the guard shields.
After a Hold is taken in the vanilla game, the original guards are replaced by ones that wore Legion or Stormcloak armor. Since I wanted the new guards to also use the guard armor for their respective Holds, I went into the Creation Kit and changed that. After I finished, I decided to upload it here in case anyone else felt the way I do.
With this installed, after a Hold switches sides, you will now see Imperial or Stormcloak Guards (depending on the side you chose) who will still have the Hold armor and shields.
Please note that the only testing I've done is in playing through normally, and I have only used this while fighting for the Stormcloaks. All guards are supposed to use Hold Guard armor, so if you see any that aren't, please let me know where you saw them so I can fix them. However, please confirm that it isn't a soldier who is meant to be using that armor (no guards should look like soldiers with this mod installed).

Suggested Mods:
Extra Guards by jayr848: As the name suggests, this adds many more guards across Skyrim, including in places that don't have guards at all. I recommend installing this one only after the Civil War is over. When I tried this, I kept getting bounties since the new guards literally stand in the middle of the battlefield, and I kept hitting them by accident. If you use this mod, I also recommend installing the Extra Guards Patch, which you can find in the Files tab.
