I know this post in quite old, relatively, but you are having the EXACT same problem as me. You are the first person I've found who seems to have the same problem I'm having. Did you ever figure out what was causing it?

I wanted to speak to the Jarl of Riften, Lalia Law-Giver to see if she had any bounties or anything, but nothing happens but the generic greeting lines when interacting with her. Her housecarl won't interact with me either. The only person inside Mistveil Keep that interacts with me is Wylandriah and the Storm-Cloak rep who tells me "If you know any true sons and daughters of Skyrim..." I tried starting the Skooma Operation quest and got to the step where I need to report Sarthis Idren to the Jarl, hoping maybe that would fix it. Nope. Tried waiting a few in-game days, nope. Tried waiting 40 days with Input Wait Menu, nope. I tried talking to her naked, thought may it was an armor thing, nope. Tried starting a new game with Alternate Start at the Bee and Barb and running straight the the Jarl, no dice. As well, there are no conflicts according to sseedit. I have no Idea why this is happening. Similarly, I was unable to buy Breezehome earlier on in the game from Proventus after completing the Bleakfalls Barrow Quest. The "I would like to purchase property in this hold" option never showed up even after killing the first dragon and being named Thane.

I don't know why people still advice regenerating facegen data. It will only help if a mod is missing facegen data (or if the facegen data isn't where the game expects it). Even then it's a very questionable action, since it will result in ugly vanilla faces... These "missing facegen data" issues are rather rare and very special cases. Most black face issues are simple mod conflicts. Several mods making changes to one and the same NPC can result in a black face. And that's what happens most of the time when people encounter black faces in their game. Simple solution that works (well, most of the time...): Make sure you got your load order sorted correctly. When it comes to black face issues, you should take a close look at NPC Replacers (e.g. Bijin, Better Bards). Put the one you want to win the conflict last. E.g. if you got two mods making changes to Delphine and you want Bijin Delphine, put the Bijin esp after the other NPC replacer. Once you got your load order sorted, run Wrye Bash and create a "bashed patch". In most cases your problem is solved. If it really isn't, you may have to create a conflict reoslution patch manually in SSEEdit. Again: Regenerating facegen data won't help most of the time - on the contrary: You will most likely screw up your beautiful NPCs... Can confirm, totally messed up the NPCs that WERE working. Been trying for hours to get Fangs and Eyes - A Vampire Appearance Mod to work again. No matter what I do I can't get the yellow gross eyes to go away and be replaced with the ones from this mod.

I know it's written above but I would love a video tutorial of how to switch from NMM or MO (if you use that and it's capable of transferring) I have A fairly long mod list and would hate to mess something up by testing out this new Mod Manager.
