Version 1.5.5
- Fixed a bug in the Rift Guard Leveled lists where they were wearing Reach (Markarth) Guard Gloves.
  Tweaked Stormcloak soldier level lists to remove the mix and match now all Stormcloaks should be color coordinated they now come in 3 flavors: Black, White, or Brown for the leathers, they still have the 3 color options for the fur under their leathers for a bit of variety.
  Added Texture Sets for Hide Helmet and Scaled Helmet guard (and Black/white) variants with a choice of Black, White, or Gold Trim (also did black and white trims for the default brown). That's a total of 35 new Hide Helmets, and 35 new Scaled Helmets.

  Copied over all the Guards from the NPC Table of Skyrim to prep them for the Post civil war uniform changes, i also renamed them for consistency, many had no names so that was a ton of names.
  Added Armor records of the Corseted (8 stormcloak, 8 imperial), and Loose (8 stormcloak, 8 imperial) Civil War Victory Guard Uniforms
  Added Armor records for the 41 new Hide Helmets (standard with black and white trim, 9 holds with 3 trims, Imperial and Stormcloak Civil War win with 3 trims each)

  The normal stormcloak helm (and the black and white variants) now use the Improved Closed faced Helms meshes
  Created the AA files for the 105 variants of guard boots (9 holds of sets of 3 each, black set of 3 , white set of 3, brown set of 2 [created 3 times for the always platigrade, always digigrade, and always raptor]) but did not link them to the armors or add support for all races

  Argonian raptor feet varients of the new boots in the Armor Addons tables

  Created texture sets for the 11 imperial variants

  Made the civil war post uniforms craft, tempter, and salvageable recipes
  Fixed a bug in the stormcloak leveled list where they were spawning with multiple armor sets
  Fixed the name of the guard hide/scaled helmets for consistency to the rest of the mod, before they read as just "<hold name> hide/scaled helmet (trim color)" now they read "<hold name> Guard's hide/scaled helmet (trim color)"
  Added Civil War win variants of the imperial helm bring its total to 13 variants.
  Added 4 shield variant Armor/AA/Texture sets for Black, White, Unpainted/grey, and House/Player branded (the default player brand is my insignia but you can replace the DDS file with your own as long as the name is "house_shield_alpha" and it will already have its everything set up for crafting and in game display
  Added Crafting/Tempering/breakdown for the 13 imperial helmet variants
  Added Crafting/Tempering/breakdown for the 4 shield variants
  Added crafting recipes for the 9 hold shields (since i use Craft, Temper, Smelt as a reference and noted the 9 hold shield were not craftable I'm assuming similar mods won't do the same so i added recipes to craft the hold shields)

  replace the logo/color but all hall the armor mesh work done for you and set up and ready)
Version 1.5.4
- Allllright *cracks knuckles* This is a big one.
  
  First off all the new items should be craftable under the forge, nothing special is need just some leather, strip and iron. They can also be broken down at the tanning rack or smelter, and tempered. I tried not to repeat work done by other crafting mods so the armor and helms might not be visible under vanilla only but shouldn't conflict with any other overhauls, I personally use Craft, Temper, Smelt (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/22290/?)
  
  Boots:
  So basics the guards have color coordinated leather for their boots with 3 variants to the fur (black, brown, or white)
  There is also a black leather and white leather generic set, and a matching black and white fur for the normal brown boots.
  There is also a Eastmarch/Windhelm set
  There is also a variant of the solitude and Windhelm helms and gloves that can be crafted they are designed for post civil war but haven't found how to distribute guard post civil war.
  
  Gloves:
  We now have 21 new gloves
  13 sets are recolors of the Dawnguard gloves for the 9 holds, plus a black or white set. And a Imperial and Stormcloak guard set for post civil war, again not distributed.
  But there is also 8 new armors based on the stormcloak/fur gloves don in the boots style of Brown/Black/White leather and Brown/Black/White fur.
  these and the black/white/brown boots have been distributed among the storcloaks and bandits. (bandits also get the black and white armors)
  
  Armor:
  Speaking of armors there is a Eastmarch/Windhelm set to round out all 9 holds making the Stormcloak classic look soldier only (my logic is that having basically the army as your police would leave Eastmarch on hold so there's a separation of Military and Police)
  The Stormcloaks also get some variety in their helmets and armor with the brown leather/padding getting black and white variants (the blue tunic is left untouched its just the under leather and top of their helms)
  There is also 16 new armors (currently only available via crafting) of all 9 holds flying instead of their colors but the colors of the wining side, meaning yes a Blue Solitude and a Red Windhelm.
  The 11 primary sets (ie not civil war victory) also have some special variants you'll find craftable or on their respective mobs, their labeled with Loose or Corseted, Loose variants use the male mesh regardless of the wearers gender who are fans of the original mod by Taro but want all the additional items.
  By reverse Corseted does the reverse, even if your a male it will use the female mesh.
  the 11 sets also have some crafting only editions, called Tunic and Pants, this is a work in progress splitting the meshes into 2 parts that can be equipped and worn separately, however this feature inst fully functional however future update will only build on it so you shouldn't have to worry about loosing them if you craft them and update
  
  Compatibility:
  With 1.5.4 we are fully compatable with Artifex0/Teh-Husky digigrade and argonian raptor feet out of the box just equip the new boots and your good to go, though future updated will like the armor variants give you options instead of conforming to fit the fit by default as now, ALWAYS platigrade, ALWAYS Khajiit, or ALWAYS Raptor.
- Oh almost forgot guards now have Avetail/chainmail neckguards in their loot list as well thanks to JZBai
Version 1.5.3
- Made 3 variants of the Fur boots, one with black fur, one with white fur, and the default brown, i used the official high res DLC as the base texture. With these 3 new variants I colored the leathers of each for each hold to match their helmets and armor and edited the level list and outfit templates so these new boots will span on any new guards.
  The base 3 I also distrusted into the level lists of Stormcloaks and Bandits.
  I also renamed the gear of Dawnstar guard to Pale Guard since that in their hold, I did the same for Solitude (Haffinger), Riften (just the Rift), and Markarth (the Reach)
Version 1.5.2
- recolored each helmet to match the armors. (see new pics), also made it so circlets can be seen under them.
Version 1.5.1
- Missed the solitude armor in the initial release, now that's fixed.

So I'm a real big fan of Guards Armor Replacement by Taro8 http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/25963/? But play a lot of female characters so i opened it in tes edit and linked the female meshes to the new male ones, its not the same as a true female model but it works for me. Also i removed the Circlet and ear tags on the helmet so you can wear circlets and earring with the new helms.

You don't need the original mods this is a all inclusive file, but do endorse the orginal

This version is built on Taro8 version 1.5

Notes:
Version 1.5.4 was a massive update and since level lists and outfits changed any guards you may have met previously will need to be respawned (I prefer kill and resurrect via console). See change long for more details.

With 1.5.5 you no real level lists were changed but lots of new armors and crafting recipes were done, as well as as some environmental maps added to the armors (might not notice it on everything but the metal claps and buttons are all reflective as is the edge of the hold shields

1.5.6 Things to do (in order of priority):
House armor set crafting, smelting, and tempering recipes

Create variants of the boots that are just the cuff as the digiggrade khajiit and argonian raptor prefer.
Link new outfit sets to post civil war guard npc records
Create variants of the armors for the Skyrforge (better stats), Luna forge (enchantable but like sliver have an innate lunar enchant) and Fire Forged (for the special forge in Riften, may need to make the riften forge special)
Add in the Soul Collector (Light Elite guard) variant armors for each hold
Add beast masks,tails, ears "skinning" system
Add open faced helms variants
Add Companion wolf armor variants
Add Spellbinder variant guard heavy armor

Installation:
Just use Nexus Mod Manager or Mod Organizer to install.

Incompatibilities:
Open Faced Helmets mod (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/4866) or any mod that changes guard armors really.
