LE Guards Keep Hold Armor

[terickson227]

When, during the Civil War questline, a Hold switches from one side to another, all the guards in that Hold lose their armor. For example, if Solitude is taken by the Stormcloaks, all Solitude Guards are replaced by guards with Stormcloak armor. I've tried a few times to create a mod that has the new guards keep the same armor as the previous ones, but it has a strange problem that I have no idea how to fix. This problem involves each Hold armor, except for Windhelm/Eastmarch, which is the same as the Stormcloak armor. For whatever reason, the other 8 Hold armors seem to partially "turn into" the Stormcloak armor.

 

I would like it if someone (who actually knows what they are doing) would create this mod in a way that doesn't lead to this problem.

 

Here is the problem:

It might be hard to see, but I definitely notice it in-game. The very bottom edge of every Hold armor is the same color of the Stormcloak Cuirass, which Windhelm Guards and Stormcloak Soldiers wear. Even stranger is that this problem isn't a problem with the guards, but with the armors themselves. The problem is visible whether or not a certain Hold is under Imperial or Stormcloak control, and even if the player is wearing it. This could be a mod conflict, but I don't think I have any mods that would have this result, intentionally or not.

I figured out why this problem was happening, and it apparently had nothing to do with having Stormcloak Guards wear appropriate Hold armor. For some reason, the Stormcloaks with Sleeves mod was causing this problem, but the mod author uploaded a fix which has worked so far at least. If you are reading this and have this problem, check if you have this mod, then download the fix (called StormcloakWSleevesKiltFix).
