Replace a steward in Hearthfire

skyrim-hearthfirethe-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

Without really thinking about it, I've employed Lydia as my steward in Lakeview; but now I don't have a housecarl in Breezehome anymore. I'd like to fire her and replace her with some other follower and let her head back home.

(I know that I don't need a housecarl in every house but it's bugging me that my one house is now "unguarded".)

I can't find any way to have a steward step down or be replaced; there's no dialog option to ask her to resign and I can't seem to ask any other follower to do the job. Am I missing something?

The Dismiss Steward mod allows you to dismiss stewards. I admit I haven't tried it yet but if you really want Lydia fired, I recommend making a save, downloading the mod, and giving it a try. Just make sure that you have a save from before you installed the mod just in case something catastrophic happens.
