started a new game yesterday and when I got to Whiterun the gate keeper was no longer there. In fact the Stormcloaks were manning the gates.

Which mod is killing the game almost at the start ? Thank you for your help.

My first guess would be "Civil War Overhaul." After that I would suspect "Immersive Whiterun."

You have alot of City overhaul compilations installed. Immersive, ETAC, and Open Cities
