Skyrim Race Mod (how to fix missing head bug)

Found this on Bethesda's forum site and credits go to Belazor

I found a way to work around this issue, but it is a bit of a pain... I'll post the steps here for anyone who is interested (feel free to re-post these steps to the gaming site / forum of your choice, no attribution necessary but it would be appreciated

I do not know if this will disable Steam achievements! I have not had a chance to test it, so don't flame me if it does (if anyone wants to test it with a save they have right before they got an achievement, that'd be cool).

• Make a new save in a separate slot
• Write down how many points you put into Magicka, Health, Stamina
• Write down the skill points you have in all your skills (even the ones you haven't even touched)
• Change back to your original race via player.SetRace
• Enter ShowRaceMenu to get to the race menu
• Pick your new race and the looks as needed, name your character, hit OK
• Overwrite the duplicate save you created before doing this
• Quit to main menu
• Load the save you just overwrote
• Walk / sprint and stop again and you'll see your arms are no longer crossed
• If you want to avoid "cheating":
  
  Find a perk you own and want to temporarily remove by doing help "perkname" 4 and write down the hex code it finds (calling it perkhex)
• player.removeperk perkhex
• Spend your "free point" back into that perk
• player.setlevel X where X is the level you were before you started doing this
  
  Commands assume X is the number of points you increased skills by (1 time levelled = 10 points):
  
• player.modav magicka X
• player.modav health X
• player.modav stamina X
  
  Commands assume X is the value you wrote down for your skill levels
  
• player.setav skill alchemy X
• player.setav skill alteration X
• player.setav skill marksman X
• player.setav skill block X
• player.setav skill conjuration X
• player.setav skill destruction X
• player.setav skill enchanting X
• player.setav skill heavyarmor X
• player.setav skill illusion X
• player.setav skill lightarmor X
• player.setav skill lockpicking X
• player.setav skill onehanded X
• player.setav skill pickpocket X
• player.setav skill restoration X
• player.setav skill smithing X
• player.setav skill sneak X
• player.setav skill speechcraft X
• player.setav skill twohanded X

And there you have it. I have confirmed that closing the game or just quitting to the main menu will preserve your head mesh. I suspect you can now also use ShowRaceMenu to change everything except Race / Sex / Preset if you want to customise your new race further.
