How do I get Imperials to stop attacking me on sight?
Whenever I travel to a city that is controlled by Imperials I get attacked by all of the guards and I don't know why. I'm Stormcloak, but normally imperials don't attack me.
I am dressed in Daedric Armor and I'm not a vampire. However, I am a werewolf but I have only a 40 gold bounty which shouldn't be enough to provoke them to attack me so I don't know what the problem is.
I have searched Google & Skyrim Nexus for a way or a mod to fix this but no luck. Does anyone know how to fix this?. I am still in the process of trying to find a fix for this very annoying bug.

This has a tendency to happen quite a lot. If you are some way into the campaign on either side, then you will be a known member of that faction. In other words; After a certain mission, you will be attacked by the opposite faction.
This will stop after you have completed the missions from that faction, so try to do this as quickly as possible.
As said by John, it could also be because you are wearing the equipment set of the opposite faction, which will also cause them to attack you.

How do I get an NPC to stop attacking me in Skyrim?
By the time you reach the last stage and is starving for blood normally friendly NPCs will attack you on sight. This can be cleared by fleeing out of sight of NPCs and feeding. If you want to avoid getting a bounty for feeding you can consider feeding on bandits instead.Is Stormcloaks better than Imperials?
Pick Imperial if you want to play a character who is originally from a place aside from Skyrim, as it doesn't make sense to fight under a banner that ultimately won't accept you. Pick Stormcloak if you believe the Empire has no right to say what Skyrim denizens can and can't do, especially if you are a Nord.How do you side with the Imperials?
SIDING WITH THE IMPERIAL To join the Imperials, go to Solitude (in the NW) and speak to General Tullius, who will direct you to Legate Rike, his second-in-command.

Answer 2
It's probably not a bug. You are probably dressed as a Stormcloak when you enter the city, or as that guy suggests, you become recognizable as a Stormcloak after progressing past a certain point in the civil war. Dressing as an Imperial will allow you to enter Imperial cities, but you'll then have the same problem in Stormcloak cities unless you change back. There is a Master of Disguise mod that allows subtler effects, tying your Disguise ability to both clothing worn and Stealth skill. I use it, but it now seems to be missing from Nexus. I see at least one other disguise mod still available that may help you complete your current mission, but I haven't tried any other disguise mods, so I can't recommend one.
It's possible, though, that there are other explanations for the behavior, for example severe vampirism or a bounty. Since you didn't provide much information on which cities are definitely affected, how you confirmed, how far along in the civil war you are, or whether you have been turned into a vampire or joined the Companions, it's hard to say for sure what might be happening. Make sure you don't have a bounty in any of the affected cities and that you don't have vampirism. Also, if you still suspect a glitch, try leaving the area and waiting a week before returning.

My advice, go wipe out General Tulious (sorry for messing his name up) so they stop attacking you. This might solve your problem once and for all.
The harder way is to sneak past all of them and get the documents that way
Answer 4
Try putting your weapons down.They will probably stop and attempt to put you in prison.Or maybe complete the stormcloak quest line so the imperials will be almost wiped out.Hope this helped!?
