Giant head, wrong hair, and Skyrim crashes when she's gone.

[Rezznor]

I have followers, and earlier today one of them just got a HUGE ego! Her head went from the custom head design that came with her (Sha) to a standard head model with a size of a giant. Bigger than if a character could go to size 200. Also the hair is standard female skyrim hair, not the model that came w/ the character from Apachii.

 

So the first thing I check is the meshes. Actors/character/facegendata/facegeom and look in FollowerSha.esp. I have NifSkope and check out her head and hair, and yep, it is what comes with the model. I open the game again, and yep, she's got Giant Head Syndrome. So I go into NMM and delete her. She's just a simple follower: no scripts, no fancy extras - just a body and hair.

I boot up Skyrim.

It crashes before it gets to the Menu.

I try Skyrim again. It crashes again, same place.

Going back to NMM, I re-enable Sha. I open Skyrim, and it loads perfectly fine where I was. With G.H.S. still! I try going back to a previous save where I know she worked fine. I open it up, and she still has G.H.S. I close out the game, uninstall her, delete her from my computer completely, re-download and install her. SAME THING!

So near as I can figure, something in the game has latched on to her existence, and Skyrim will no longer work without her, and apparently it prefers her with a giant head and standard hair. I can delete my other followers no sweat, but this one has gone bonkers.

I have not installed any other addons, nor have I done anything weird to the game. We were just skulking along in the forest, looking for something to destroy, when I turned around and there she was! Giant Head Syndrome!

 

Any ideas as to what happened? Or even better, how I can fix it.

Opened her up in Creation Kit to look around. I click on preview, and there she is with a giant head and the wrong hair, but all pointers point to the right spot, and facegendata is checked, so it should be going to the right head.
