They Won't Even Know I'm There (titled "Master of Disguise - Real Faction Armor - Faction Overhaul" at Skyrim Nexus) transforms all faction armor into real faction armor. Suit up as a Dark Brotherhood assassin, a Madman of the Reach, or even a lowly necromancer and experience Tamriel as though their allies, friends, and enemies were yours.

FACTION RELATIONSHIPS

GUARD FACTION ARMOR
In addition to behaving like real faction armor, guard faction armor will reset your bounty and ensure that guards of the respective faction are not hostile to you. This will allow you to, for example, kill or knock out a guard while escaping from jail, equip his/her uniform, and stroll out the front door. When you unequip the uniform, your original bounty will be restored.
Currently, this feature is not sensitive to whether there are any faction guards watching you put the uniform on, so just suspend your disbelief if you do that, okay?
NOTES AND COMPATIBILITY ISSUES
- http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/9557 is compatible; however, the Forsworn, Vigilant of Stendarr, and Thalmor starts add you to the vanilla Forsworn, Vigil, and Thalmor factions. You will need to manually remove yourself from those factions for the respective faction armors to work.
- No armor records were modified, so this mod should be compatible with all replacers.
- Only faction armor belonging to Skyrim, Dawnguard, and Dragonborn will trigger faction changes. Third-party mods wishing to add support should add their armor to an appropriate formlist.
- Hjaalmarch, Pale, and Winterhold guard NPC records were edited to add them to their own guard factions. Any mods that edit these same records will not be compatible.
- Many of the faction records were edited, of course, so any mods that edit these same records will also not be compatible.
FUTURE ADDITIONS
Future versions of They Won't Even Know I'm There will have modular DLC support, a detection system, and guard faction armor won't make guards friendly if you have a bounty and they see you equip the uniform.
The detection system will add a chance that faction members can discover you based on your Sneak or Illusion skill. What happens then is up to the AI. If you were allies or friends before, they won't care. If you were enemies, they'll go hostile.
Roadmap
- v0.2 - Modular DLC Support
- v0.3 - Detection System
- v0.4 - Better Guard Faction Armor
UNINSTALLATION
While in the game, open the console with the tilde (~) key. Enter the following command:
stopquest xxFF0000
Important: You should replace "xx" in the above command with load order position of the mod.
Then, save the game and quit to the desktop. At that point, you can safely remove the mod.
