Ok, this is a band aid rather than a fix but I can open my console and use "recycleactor" to fix the guards. If someone is having a similar issue that might work as a temporary fix until you can find what mod is conflicting with it.

Morning bump.

So I just recently downloaded Vortex and it's been running my mods smoothly, but then all of a sudden - naked Diamond City Guards! I disabled all my mods and used both the F4SE loader and the standard loader to open my game to check if the problem was fixed. I open a save and now they have no heads. I open it again after giving them a clothing mod ( https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/12100 ) and their heads are back but still naked. The heads were gone before though and I thought it was due to the Valkyr Face Texture mod I had (then deleted). They reappeared after that, but no matter what I did they would still be naked. I've read Armorsmith will cause this, but I don't have Armorsmith! And the only information I can find concerns Armorsmith! If anyone has any clues do let me know. I've attached an image to show the issue.

So not long ago I messed up Nexus Mod Manager so bad on my PC that it just freaks out anytime I reinstall it. That has meant taking the reins and manually installing mods. It has been fine so far, NMM had things mostly organized, but a few mods such as Place Everywhere and NPC appearance mods stopped working. The mods I'm talking about are: NPCs Are Not Cartoons AIO (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/20252/?tab=files) or Fresh Look - NPC and Companions redux (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/11367/?tab=files) Now I am NOT trying to run these at the same time. AIO is my preferred mod, but I tried out Fresh Look when it stopped working, but neither work. I've added them to my Data folder because that is where NMM had AIO placed. I'm not sure if I'm just putting these files in the wrong folder or what. As far as I know the AIO mod worked after Fallout 4's latest update even though it is an older mod, so I'm not sure that is the issue either. Also the AIO version pictured in the attached photos is not the Automatron version, I have the DLC, but neither mod file will works I've tried them both. Thanks for your time, please help if you're able I'll try anything at this point. I just cannot be trusted with technology.
