Oh my god, from all console commands, from all the solutions to fix this situation and play both minuteman and raiders only this mod worked for me, dude, you are the best, thank you
Works, but as noted by someone else Preston asks you if you are "ready to help out", and then you just stare at each other. After numerous setstage commands I found the issue: the MM quest line won't progress if there are still raider outposts. Attempting to start the quest "The First Step", where you get sent on your first mission to rescue, throws a bunch of keyword errors, meaning it's checking to see if Commonwealth workshops are available or not. If one of them fails, the quest stops.
This can be fixed using SKK Workshop Utilities. Go to each Raider and Vassal settlement, and convert them from Raider to Normal settlements. You'll need to take ownership of the workshops at the vassals first, if you haven't used a mod to do that already.
Go back to Preston, and the conversation will work and you get your first "a settlement needs your help" mission. Once you have that mission you can go back and turn settlements back into Raider Outposts if you want (I kept one that I'd been using as my main Commonwealth base of operations).
So now I'm still the Overboss, I've retained one raider outpost at County Crossing, and Preston just made me the general.
Preston is a hypocrite when you think about it. The dude wants to unite the commonwealth, sends you out to various settlements to do so, but when you become the leader of the raiders has a damn meltdown over them taking over 1 settlement. The place doesn't even have to have any normal Settlers at it and with a Raider settlement, we have people to do the dirty jobs. He actually wants you to kill them too! You can't Unite anything with Genocide and still call yourself the good guys.
the mod works fine but when i talk to preston and he asks me if i can help i can't answer him so im stuck. someone knows why or how i can fix this problem?
you do not need a mod for that is all one has to do is when you start home sweet home " Note Before you drop that 1st flag > walk up to Preston open console click on Garvey type inremovefromfaction A1B85 Note be sure to space the A1B85 away from removefromfaction

I'm going to download to use in a new future game, thanks for the mod! Can I disable the mod after having dialog with the preston, or does he have to stay active all the time? if it has to be active, would an ESL version be possible?
I don't know if deleting it after sanctuary and the first step are complete is safe. It probably is. ESL probably will work. I'll try copying everything to an ESL in xedit and do a test, but that will take time to do the test part.
This is an interesting mod and it does what it does. One thing I noticed is that it may conflict with Outcasts and Remnants if you have that installed. Don't want to put any spoilers for the adventure mod but at some point it will have to involve confronting Preston about some things. So if you completed Outcasts and Remnants quest and install this mod, be ready for some odd choices that may appear when you confront Preston. Instead of pressing talk I went up to Preston and that initiated the conversation normal. When I press talk it initiated the conversations that follows for Outcasts and Remnants lines..
It's a good mod thus far and thanks for creating this.
Those things you mention could be true, http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Preston_Garvey_impersonator , a synth, or a frame job... don't believe everything you read. Outcasts and Remnants is quality work but some of the decisions made about lore in those mods I think were intentionally left unclear in cannon so everyone could make their own conclusions. For those who hate Preston the stuff in that Outcasts and Remnants is pure gold.

Is it possible to recovery Preston ?
