Problem with Lydia HD for Victoria 7 - since update 2 weeks ago - RESOLVED

So I bought Lydia HD for Victoria 7 on the day it came out.  She rendered nicely to me and looked like the promo images for the product.  I noticed no problem whatsoever.  About 2 weeks ago, there was an update (although nothing is noted on the Read Me page for this product), so I updated because it showed up in DIM.  Today I tried to use her for the first time since the update and well...let's just say she didn't look like the 3D girl I fell in love with.  She looked like a totally different character.  What's more, she had quite a protruding belly and bigger hips. Even her face didn't resemble the promo images. WTF happened?  Can someone who bought her when she first came out on 6/13 and rendered her before the update 2 weeks ago see if you get the same issue as me with the updated file?  I had to do uninstall the new file and delete it.  Luckily I had a back up of the first file, so I re-installed that one again and all is good.  But I mean, come on, DAZ, what did you do to the sweet girl?

    I recently updated her file, but haven't had a chance to render her again. I'll try it tomorrow and see what happens.

    Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling her?

    I haven't tested her yet, but I wonder if another character is dialing in on top of her. Check the Shaping Tab and see if any other figures are dialed in. That sometimes happens. It could be a different character causing the issue. Have you installed anyone else since you bought Lydia?

    So here's the first test render I did last month when Lydia came out, before the DAZ Studio update and Genesis 8 release: 

    Since then, I applied the updates to Studio and Lydia as soon as they came out. Same scene, rendered today: 

    I'm not sure what Lydia's updates addressed, but she looks the same to me. These are the same lights in both pics. They do look slightly different with whatever DAZ did in the Studio updates with Iray.

    Thanks, Lynarra.

    The first thing I did when I noticed the change in her was to look at the body details and head details and didn't find anything other than her dialed in.  I did uninstall her (well the updated file) and re-installed the original file I had, so she is back to what I remember her to be and I've since rendered her again.  No issues.  Not sure what the update was, but I got rid of that file.

    Glad she is back! Sounds like some kind of corrupted file or something. Strange!

    It was Pretty Base NG that was the culprit!  I uninstalled PBNG and re-installed the updated file for Lydia and there's no problem there now.  Just as well. I think I'm going to be returning PBNG anyway.  Thanks for all your help and feedback, Llynara.
