This bug only occurs when the player has rendered in the occupying soldiers before installation of this mod. Here is my analysis of the bug - feel free to comment if you have more understanding than I:

Skyrim better civil war mod#
This mod also fixes other problems with the previous mods - specifically the naming conventions, mismatch of guard equipment, and the non-respawning guards. I was able to find a simple vanilla fix, although I could not find a streamlined method of fixing the problem. I failed to identify the root of the problem in both of these mods and decided to code my own version from scratch to fix bugs and adjust for preferences. I had previously been using TES5Edit & SSEEdit to tweak settings and fix minor bugs given their outdated natures, but recently I stumbled across a rather annoying bug involving the guards refusing to put on equipment. For the better part of my Skyrim experience, I have utilized two mods that restore the hold armors to each hold: Hold Guards Keep Armor uploaded by terrickson227 for Skyrim and Better Civil War Guards by Medizy for Skyrim Special Edition. Now if you share a similar distaste for bland occupied cities, you may be familiar with this type of mod. The style for the Imperial guard is based off of the Solitude base game guards, and the Stormcloak guards are based off of the Windhelm guards. This mod restores the lost guard uniform to the occupying soldiers, rejuvenating the previously generic occupiers. Depending on play-style, the civil war can be concluded before the main quest finishes and the DLCs begin thus throughout the play-through, eventually you would expect the loyalist towns to reinstate a loyal guard. After the Stormcloaks/Imperials occupy a hold, the entire guard uniform virtually ceases to exist - prompting a cascade of bland looking guards.
