I have a mod that adds NPCs to the town.

Whenever I attack the NPCs I get into combat with the NPC as expected.

What isn't expected is the guards help me attack the NPC rather than considering it a crime that I attacked someone.

Does anyone know how to change this behaviour so the guards will try to arrest me/defend the NPC rather than help me?

Even suggesting I look into Factions, Faction Reactions, Crime Factions, Combat Packages, etc. might help. I've been looking into Factions and Crime Factions but it's not working and I have no idea if I'm even on the right track.

Thanks,

legume.
