Hi I'm having an issue with getting the "Trouble in the Homestead" quest.
In the save I'm playing on currently, I had talking to three dogs before downloading the mod, but as soon as I downloaded it I went back to an auto save that sent me back to the vault, and I started all over again from there. Did me originally talking to three dogs in that save somehow affect the mod?
Edit: I began a whole new playthrough and it still didn't give me the quest :(
I hate to be a bother but I've encountered an issue - I installed this before I [<- Another small edit, oops] did Three Dog's questline and I haven't gotten the Trouble on The Homefront quest. Any ideas?
[Edit] The only mods I have that I THINK would cause a problem with this are Bisexual Butch and Essential Followers and Caravans. I'm much newer to modding this game than FO4 or 76 so I've got no idea what conflicts with one another. Thank you in advance for any and all information.
I deleted my old saves up to meeting Three Dog and reinstalled the mod, no dice. The only thing I haven't tried is a new save but I'm reluctant to do that cause it'd be a LOT of lost progress.
darn, i'm sorry that you're experiencing this issue no need to lose all your progress in saves, i'll do my best to upload a hot fix today until i find a permanent fix
EDIT: so i looked into it, and there's no conflicts with Bisexual Butch or Essential Followers/Caravans - this mod is actually fully compatible with both it seems, but i can't replicate the bug are you sure you don't have any other mods that edit the quest Trouble On The Homefront? if you send a full modlist i might be able to figure out the issue
Absolutely! Sorry I took so long to reply! These are in order and I disabled the Bisexual Butch + Essential NPCs one for testing atm. It still doesn't work. I don't THINK any of these change anything to do with Trouble on The Homefront but again I'm not all that versed in modding FO3 in particular. Be my luck I just messed up some DLC thing that's needed in order to run the mod but that's for someone more knowing - You - To help me figure out. Thank you again for all your help.
[Edit] Is it possible to force the quest to load via a console command perhaps? That might help with testing.
Nuts.. I'll see if I can't try to uninstall and then reinstall and try a fresh new game. Last resort and all that. At least I know what to do, now. In the meantime, do you have any other possible ideas? I don't mind the quest not starting early tbh, it's the other perks I'm wanting.
Or do you know of any other possible mods I could try? I ofc have Bi Butch and Essential NPCs, anything else you'd suggest?
And thank you again for your help. I appreciate you taking the time to test things for me, even if they don't work out in the end.
honestly? i'd really recommend TTW (tale of two wastelands), it's kind of a "try it once and you never go back" mod that puts FO3 in FNV's engine, lets you go back and forth between DC and the mojave, and it's lore-friendly
you're quite welcome!! feel free to add me on discord if you'd like, it's easier to talk there and you'll get quicker responses :) my tag is Bec#1111 (case sensitive)
i'm glad you're enjoying it!! if you check out the TTW version you'll see some more features to come :) eventually i'll have the FO3 and TTW have most of the same features, other than the NV mechanics for this version
You did a great work with this mod mate. just started a modded fallout 3 play through by the way.
Problem through with butch is that i dismissed him to my house but went to the Rivet City bar and now i get him to follow me anymore, just no option to. idk if its one my my mods conflict or not. just wanted to let you know. illl look into it more to see what mod it is and try to have your mod on top of my other mods.
thank you!! can you please give me your modlist? either way i'll check out the issue (hopefully later today) when i can, i've been planning on updating this mod anyways
81 51 Companion Perks.esp 85 55 Butch.esp i think these two may be what's conflicting. do you have a link to these mods? i can try to make a compatibility patch
also would there be away to make butch spawn in the Muddy Rutter after completing "Trouble on the Homefront" regardless on how the player ends that questline? I dont know if the game its self does it or not just asking to put that thought in your head
it seems like for me at least all i needed to do was deactivate your mod, talk to butch at the muddy rutter then reactivate it to get the text to rehire him. Also your mod and the perk mod work as long as i put your mod over the perk mod
edit: I think Project Beauty with your mod is making a weird texture glitch with butch's mouth and bread
i unactived your mod, talked to butch(without your mod), failed to pass the karma check, reactived your mod, then was able to get him to follow me again.
Trouble on the Homefront worked perfectly and I love being able to recruit Butch almost right away.
But I have 2 problems. For me, dismissing him to my Megaton house doesn't seem to work. Choosing that option just sends to him Rivet City like normal. I don't have any mods modifying the Megaton house. Also, I'm getting the Black Widow dialog options even though my character is a male. :\

i'm not sure of the console commands either to start the quest
In the meantime, do you have any other possible ideas? I don't mind the quest not starting early tbh, it's the other perks I'm wanting.

eventually i'll have the FO3 and TTW have most of the same features, other than the NV mechanics for this version
