    @LieutenantGuac  I would still suspect the change at home after work mod, even though it was fine before.  It sounds like it might do the same thing as the StoryProgression setting I listed, and issues don't always show up right away.  You could try removing it and clearing your cache files to see if it helps, then putting it back when the NPCs look normal again.  (And it's easy to use "save as" to rename your save while experimenting, so you have a backup in case you need it.)  The cache files to delete, in case you need the list:

    • CASPartCache.package
    • compositorCache.package
    • scriptCache.package
    • simCompositorCache.package
    • socialCache.package

    On a slightly different note, if you're using Overwatch, you may also want ErrorTrap.  Their cleanup tasks compliment each other very well, and ET is the one that removes corrupt data before it can destroy your save file.  If you do download it, be sure to get the version that corresponds to your type of install.  Unlike the others, it's a core mod, so it does care whether you have patch 1.67 (disc), 1.67 (Steam), or 1.69 (Origin).

    Edit:  I looked up the change at home after work mod, and I found several mentions of this same bug in the comments section linked to the mod page.  From the look of it, the mod creator was never able to sort it out.
