This mod's purpose is to equip the Housecarls of Skyrim with something worth their status. Many of the Housecarls in the game come equipped with some very basic armor, weapons, and abilities. Irileth is a striking example of this. Her Jarl is the ruler of the richest hold in Skyrim, and she is equipped with some run-of-the-mill leather armor? That's just insane. This mod came up from the annoyance of seeing Irileth with that leather armor, but it has expanded to incorporate the rest of the housecarls as well as the rest of their armory.
What does this mod change?
This mod changes the armor, weapons, and perks of the Jarl's Housecarls to give them a more intimidating look and to increase immersion. It also allows the housecarls to defend their Jarl if need be.
This mod also changes the equipment of Housecarl replacements, after a city is taken during the Civil War. These replacement Housecarls will continue to use their normal apparel until they take over their new role.
This mod utilizes Spell Perk Item Distributer (SPID) to modify the original Housecarls, and scripts to change the equipment of replacement Housecarls to maintain maximum compatibility.
The armor, weapon, spell, and perk changes to each Housecarl are as follows;

Compatibility
Armor and Clothing Extension makes similar changes to the housecarls, using a script initialized by a quest. This changes the housecarls to use specified outfits. The changes made by WACCF ACE match this mod's changes, except for Irileth and Thaena. In the optional files of this mod, you will find a patch for WACCF ACE, which modifies the outfits in WACCF ACE given to Irileth and Thaena to match what this mod gives them.
Mods that drastically change perks or spells and their effects will carry over their changes, and may have unexpected results.
This mod's plugin changes no vanilla records. Any incompatibilities will arise from scenarios like the above.
