Hollow neckstump, invisible neck gap on decapitation

[Robeloto]

So I just recently encountered this problem. I have tried with other saves, fresh save, but the problem persists. I have not installed or deinstalled any mods since this happened. Well, except that I did remove NAT and ELFx Weathers, cause I had too many weather mods installed. But this mod doesn't touch the body meshes/textures. It is the same problem for both females and males.

 

I've tried deactivating some mods like enhanced blood and CBBE. I use Vitruvia and CBBE for body/face textures. I have tried installing them again, but did not help. This are the mods I am running. List from Wrye Bash.

I moved out all the meshes and textures. Then loaded an really early save and now the neck stump looks ok. Then I pasted the meshes and textures back in again and it still looks ok. But when I load my recent save, the hollow neck stump shows up again. Maybe it is the Amaliafollower mod? Cause when I load a save without that it works. But removing amalia does not change anything with my recent save. Even tried cleaning the save from old scripts with FallRimTools ReSaver, but that just corrupted my save. I really do not want to start over, cause it took me almost 200 hours to get where I am now in the game. I know the neck stump showed up when I had the Amalia follower mod before, but not now. Seems to me all the recent saves I load has the hollow neckstump. Wish I knew exactly what causes this.

 

And yes, seeing this hole in every npc after I kill them is a game breaker for me. If this is unfixable, I will probably leave this game and not look back anymore.

 

 

Edit: I am going to start a new save game with some mods activated at a time, so I can perhaps solve what the problem is and eliminate it. Maybe a new save will work flawlessly with all mods activated. Going to try this later today.

 

Edit 2: New save with all mods activated works fine. So this means my save is f*cked up. How can this be fixed?

 

Edit 3: I finally found a save that worked ok, but it is about 50 hours back or something. I can live with that if there is no other solution. If there is no answer in this thread in 1 day from now, I will start from that old save. I guess the bugged save could be fixed with ReSaver somehow...

 

Edit 4: Just wanted to add more information. I can see the neckstump on the ground after I decapitate someone. When the kill animation begins I can see the throat and neckstump, then shortly after the character autodress their clothes on and the throat and neckstump disappears. The neckstump thingy is laying beside the body like a lid. It is almost like it was forced off the body, like it did not fit or something.
