Maybe this can help you, https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/5059720-followers-stuck-in-sandbox-ai/ as you can see by my comment what happened to me, but i also experienced what you did, i know this is years later, but just in case someone finds your post here like i did. occasionally entering combat/and or shouting at the followers did unbug them but it was not consistent. hence the link.

its 2021, i reverted too an earlier save and followed what you said and it worked, (earlier save was like 5 minutes before everything when infinite sandbox in the bee and barb) it did take me and hour and several failed methods of fixing said issue before arriving here. thank you

Ye i mean i know its not a vortex "issue" as it were but is there a way to change the esp name or create a pointer of some sorts (maybe a type of rule) to overcome it.

So i have a mod that relies on the EyesOfBeauty.esp (fallout 4) however the eyes of beauty mod for fallout 4 does not name the esp "TheEyesOfBeauty.esp" it names it "The Eyes Of Beauty.esp" with spaces and therefor vortex is throwing up a missing masters warning. I have tried googling for this issue but people just seem to have different missing masters issues, so i figured the was the most appropriate place to post, is there anyways i can change the esp name? or fix this issue? Thanks in advance. TFD
