RMB SPIDified - Sons of Skyrim takes advantage of my resource, RMB SPIDified Core. Using SPID to distribute outfits, and SkyPatcher to combine leveled lists, it distributes the Guard armours to NPCs based on dynamic factors - such as their original outfit, crime faction, and location. It avoids edits to leveled lists that would require a bashed or manual patch, cell and NPC edits.

This also prevents the NPC face bug that can be encountered when mod A makes face changes, and mod B changes the outfit of that NPC and unintentionally reverts the face changes. It also is designed in such a way so that other patches are not needed.

The installation package is bundled with many installation options, to tailor to your wants and needs.

It is also compatible with my other patch, RMB SPIDified - Guard Armor Replacer. Due to the options available in the installer, you have a lot of freedom to tailor distribution. Some examples include mixing GAR with SoS sets, forcing GAR to distribute to Rural guards and SoS to Urban, and much more!

As always, if you have any suggestions or run into any issues, please let me know.

How can I keep distribution to named NPCs only?
-- You can delete all entries inside rmb_a_sons_of_skyrim_DISTR.ini to restrict distribution to named/unique NPCs only

How can I keep distribution to generic NPCs only?
-- You can delete all entries inside rmb_a_sons_of_skyrim_named_DISTR.ini, which will remove distributions to named NPCs

I like that character x/y/z has this or that outfit, but I don't want other characters to get the outfits. How do I change this?
-- You can find the relevant entries inside rmb_a_sons_of_skyrim_named_DISTR.ini. Each entry can be tweaked or removed as desired!

How can I restrict these outfits to specific genders?
-- rmb_a_sons_of_skyrim_DISTR.ini has the relevant entries. You'll see each outfit, and will want to change one of the values. See below:
-- Outfit = OUTFITID|isFactionBandit+ActorWeaponTypeOneHanded|NONE|NONE|NONE|1|2
-- The highlighted NONE above can be changed to M or F to restrict to Male or Female respectively.
