THIS LEGENDARY EDITION MOD IS PROVIDED AS-IS, AND WILL NOT BE UPDATED. SSE VERSION
Have you ever wondered why the Jarls of Skyrim equip their Housecarl's with very weak armor? Irileth, the royal bodyguard of the prestigious Jarl of Whiterun, trade hub of Skyrim, is equipped with the armor that your average beggar could craft with the hides from a wolf. Every wondered why Unmid Snow-Shod, the Housecarl of a Stormcloak Jarl, wears the armor of the very faction he is opposed against? Ever wondered why the Housecarl of the Jarl of Winterhold isn't wearing armor at all? Even if you hadn't noticed these oddities before, you sure will now, and that is where this mod comes into play.
What is the purpose of this mod?
This mod's purpose is to equip the Housecarls of Skyrim with something worth their status. Many of the Housecarls in the game come equipped with some very basic armor, weapons, and abilities. Irileth is a striking example of this. Her Jarl is the ruler of the richest hold in Skyrim, and she is equipped with some run-of-the-mill leather armor? That's just insane. This mod came up from the annoyance of seeing Irileth with that leather armor, but it has expanded to incorporate the rest of the housecarls as well as the rest of their armory.
What does this mod do?
This mod changes the armor, weapons, and perks of the Jarl's Housecarls to give them a more intimidating look and to increase immersion. It also allows the housecarls to defend their Jarl if need be. The armor, weapon, and perk changes to each Housecarl are as follows;

Installation
Installing this mod is very similar to the installation of most mods on the Nexus
1) Click the "Download with Manager" button in the files section.
2) Activate the mod in the mods tab/section.
If you would instead like to install the mod manually, simply download the file and extract the included ESP file into your Data folder, which is located inside of your main Skyrim installation.
Compatibility
This mod will conflict with mods that edit the Housecarl NPCs. This includes NPC appearance overhauls, AI overhauls, and other larger sweeping mods.
Mods that change the perks assigned to the housecarls will carry over their changes, and may have unexpected results.
Open your load order with xEdit and confirm for yourself, every load order is different.
