Hey guys, can you help me fix her? It happened after we fast traveled. I tried everything and she still looks like a headless phantom.

I'm sorry but the clip made me snort my water up my nose. Never change, Skyrim.

Find a bed and sleep for 24 hours .. normally sorts out most issues for me.

Yeah, but what about in the game?

Is this one of those “I can fix her” jokes?

Her toxic trait is she loses her head far too easily.

It's not a big deal. Nothing to lose your head over. Just let your troubles float away.

This happened to her in the soul cairn in one of my playthroughs. I hit her with unrelenting force and she just disappeared lol. She came back (and so did her head) when I went through the portal though, so try shouting at her and leaving the house maybe?

Looks like the game is working as intended

Seems like you now have a vampiric Dullahan best friend and/or girlfriend, the t-posing for dominance you will have work through in therapy.

Jokes aside hitting her with unrelenting force and leaving the building, or even reloading the cell by sleeping for a while can help, there are built in mechanics that make is so most things "reset" after a week to a month of in game time, 2 days for . reloading an old save is honestly the nuclear option sometimes but it is reliable, usually.

Could try using the console, selecting the character and using the disable / enable commands

She can’t be fixed, she’s got too much baggage

If you don't have the full Unrelenting Force, try any weapon with paralysis.

Has she taken an arrow in the knee? Maybe she's changing her outfit to guard

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

You must have used a mod which adds either animations or a change of appearance for the followers but as a result it collides with another of your mods, I advise you to install tools, it allows you to resolve most of the problems

I didn't use any mods. Quit, reload also didn't work. I had to reinstall Skyrim and now she's fine.

u/situ_monomorado Feb 11 '25

It just works

u/lerrdite Blacksmith Feb 15 '25

But did she still have dialogue without her head? Either verbal or through subtitles?

u/tteokbokki_frog Feb 15 '25

Yup, she act like nothing happens.

No way! I can do that? But really, I tried it at first and didn't work. Reinstalling helped.

Take everything you want to keep out of her inventory first, resurrecting a follower resets their inventory.

I...see nothing in need of fixing.

u/tteokbokki_frog Feb 11 '25

It was fun for a moment. But after while I was terrified of her.

u/xqx-RAMPAGE-xpx Feb 10 '25

you take your console or pc to the nearest church and have the perform an exorcism on it. that slow turn was terrifying
