About this mod

Replaces default player Housecarl armor with Hold appropriate gear.

Permissions and credits
Have you hated the fact that Lydia, Rayya, and all the other housecarls have steel armor as their default armor? Have you wanted all your housecarls( and other servants at your homestead) to wear hold armor? Well, then this mod will help.

This is a simple mod that replaces the vanilla default gear of housecarls and gives them hold gear appropriate to their location.  I've also geared up carriage drivers and bards to also wear hold gear.  I've thought that since they also serve the thane, they should have the same livery.

I've created new "Hold Armor" versions of the vanilla guard armor with HeavyArmor stats, and enabled crafting of the new armor in the Leather category.

NPC changed:

Housecarls:

Lydia
Jordis the Sword-Maiden
Argis the Bulwark
Calder
Iona
Rayya
Valdimar
Gregor

Carriage Drivers and Bards:

Markus
Gunjar
Engar

Llewellyn
Sonir
Oriella

Bard and drivers have no shields because that caused problems with their respective scripts to function properly.

Obviously since this is Skyrim SE, it requires Hearthfires DLC.  
-Also, you should run this on either a new playthrough or before you are assigned housecarls,(or before you hire drivers or bards), as the gear loads when they are first generated, and loading the mod afterwards causes the default gear not to load as default.
- On current playthroughs, if housecarls do not update to new gear, try re-enabling in console, as that resets them to default loadout, and it should update them.

Update: Added Helmet and lite versions with bard and carriage drivers reverted to default gear.

Update:  Upload V2:  Created separate "Hold Armor" with Heavy Armor stats, and also enabled crafting of the new Hold Armors as well. I've also updated the "Lite" version with the new armor as well.

Update: Uploaded V2b:  I updated the Helmet version with the new Hold Armor and crafting option.

This is my first time mod, so if there are any suggestions or questions feel free to ask.

You are free to use my mod with yours, just give me credit.  Please don't upload to Beth.net or others.
