Diverse Guards Skyrim 5.2b

About This File

It seems odd that the job of being a City Guard or Soldier is mostly only available to males (the curious exceptions being Windhelm and Riften). Furthermore, if you use a mod that opens the faces of guard helmets, you probably could not help but notice that many of the guards are the same. If you like a bit more diversity amongst those charged with keeping the peace, this mod may be for you.

What this mod does is almost double the stock of basic NPCs that the game uses when it wants to spawn a new guard or soldier. Furthermore, it makes sure that the stock of guards used for Solitude, Markarth and Whiterun (and other guards and soldiers in holds aligned with the Imperial faction) actually contain some female NPCs.

There is currently little racial diversity, and actually I don't think there ever will be more - Skyrim definitely feels as if non-Nordic guards would be out of place (the possible exception being an Imperial or two in Solitude, perhaps).

There is also a completely independent patch for Beyond Skyrim: Bruma, to increase the facial diversity of city guards (by which I mean, add some facial diversity). It is not dependent on the main mod.

Will either of these need an update for the newest version of BS:  Bruma?  Thanks!

I have now included your mod in my RED section of my CBM Guide. The RED section is used for mandatory mods or fixes in the game or game engine which I consider crucial or good to provide a foundation for a personal modded game. Good idea and well thought. Thank you for keeping this mod available somewhere else!!!

How are mostly male guards and soliders "odd" exactly? The laws of biology still apply in Skyrim as far as we know and that means if humans need 9 months to carry a single offspring and do not magically pop out 3 kids every other month then it is not odd in the slightest that women are NOT in the absolutely most dangerous legal occupations possible in such a brutal world.

I'd argue that giving birth in a medieval world has more risk involved than being a guard in a mostly peaceful city like Solitude... also, given the Viking-like culture in Skyrim, its probable that women have more rights and aren't seen as subservient baby makers like in traditional fantasy based on shitty medieval Christian ideology.

I would ague that they don’t. Children in Skyrim are created at age eleven, and stay there. Women may not be involved in the process. I don’t believe any would be prepared to give birth to an eleven year old, would you?
