Invisible Lydia problem

[Tanya_Von_Onette.ttv]

So I let Lydia sit at home in breezehome (Told her to wait there next to the staircase) Went on a couple of adventures, came back and now she's invisible, intangible and well overall not there but she still talks, still gave me an axe (Heck if I know where she found it) and even setting the entire home on fire doesn't make her do anything.

Is there a way to make her appear again? A command or something?

P.s. I left her there because she usualy gets killed when I take her adventuring, usualy by me too. Bird brain'll just leap in front of my swords! Her final words are usualy along the lines of "At least I saved the mudcrab."

I know this might be necromancing, but I'd like to point out I also encountered this bug. I was fighting a dragon that showed up and she turned invisible after I killed it. And even when I messed with console commands, she remained that way. Only after when I reloaded my save file and killed the dragon by not constantly saving, I killed it after dying many times cause I constantly had to check Lydia didn't become invisible.

If anything ever starts to get glitchy for me I quit the game and close steam. Then launch steam again then start my game.

Ok seems I didn't try out disable and enable commands. On Reddit, it said I can input recycleactor, or kill then resurrect, but these commands reset Lydia. And I had some gear I gave to her so I wouldn't want those to be lost forever. Maybe next time I'll try disable then enable.

If you want reliable answers, reddit is not the place to look.
And, do NOT kill and resurrect any unique NPC - they will break if you use that command on them.
Also, please start your own thread.

Yeah, figured as much. The elf follower from Riverwood no longer wants to be my companion after I killed and resurrected him. I found out Alvor the blacksmith of that village sent some thugs to come after me (literally what those NPCs were named as lol) for stealing his ingots. Even though he nor anyone else but Lydia saw me steal them, so I decided to kill him because the contract I took from the thugs indicated they were allowed to kill me if necessary. Then the entire town comes and tries to slaughter me and I kill like half of them and I end up resurrecting them lol.

MIGHT be necromancing? Bruh this post is 4 years old! If you've scrolled through the forums that far back it's well past time you go to bed!

I can confirm that disable and enable commands work if a follower becomes invisible. You're from EST too? Where are you from? I'm from Toronto.

Alright I’m a bit late to this party however I had this problem but didn’t want to/ didn’t know how to use commands on console so I just paralyzed her and when she unfroze she was normal hope this helps
