im sure we all know about the npc follower double face bug... ive seen several mods that can fix this however, none that can fix it on an npc who is NOT following the player. heres what happened... after i escorted both martin and jauffre to cloud ruler temple, i noticed they both had the double face bug, i tried using the touch-spell fix that is included with unofficial patch mod by Quarn & Kivan, but since neither NPC was following me any longer, the fix did not work... is there any way of fixing this?

Try disabling and re-enabling the NPCs in the console.

The Resurrect command also for fixing it, they'll disappear a moment and then should be fixed. I had that happen with Martin and Jauffre as well.

thanks for the advice yall. ill keep these methods in mind.
