Brief Overview: 

This mod allows you to use a console command, crafted item, or holotape to reset the home location of a companion to their original home. (i.e. Nick will return to his office) It also allows you to use a console command, crafted item, or holotape to set your companion's home to the Home Plate. (Dogmeat Too! - Good boi!) 

This mod is based off the older mod by R2K. It fixes several issues in the code and accounts for Dogmeat. The original mod that this mod is
based on can be found here: Send Companions Home. 

Why I Re-built This Mod: 


When attempting to use the original mod, I received an error with the console command regarding the function being called. Not all users have this issue. That said, correcting an outdated method in the script, recompiling the script, and creating a BA2 archive fixed the issue for me. I wanted to share my work in case others had the same issue. I also wanted to accommodate Dogmeat, so that he could be sent to the Home Plate in Diamond City.

How to Use this Mod: 

You can use this mod via console commands, a crafted holotape, or crafted consumable items. 

Note: Once any of the following methods are used, when you dismiss or swap out that companion, you must not select a workshop location. You must cancel out of the workshop selection menu, otherwise you will send them to the workshop you selected.

1) Console commands: 

The following command  will reset the home location of your current active companion to their original home if they have one. This is done by opening the console and typing: 

cqf sethome reset

The following command  will reset the home location of your current active companion to the Home Plate in Diamond City. This is done by opening the console and typing: 

cqf sethome plate

There is an additional command that will allow you to reset the location of any companion for multi companion mods. However, this is more complex due to how the references work. I will do a separate write up and make this as a readme.   


2) Holotape: Companion Home Assignment Holotape

A holotape that can issue these commands can be crafted at the cooking workbench. It requires 1 plastic to craft. It can be found under the 'Notes' category.
You can give it to yourself via a console command. To look up the item ID use the command:  

help "Companion Home Assignment Holotape" 4

Then you can add the item to your inventory by using the following command, replace the XX with the item ID that was listed after using the help command. 

player.additem XX

 
2) Consumables: Notes and Dog Treats

Some consumables can issue these commands as well. These come in three forms. Two notes and dog treats.

• Companion Note - Go Home: This note can be crafted at the cooking station under the 'Notes' category. It uses one paper to craft.  
• Companion Note - Go to the Home Plate: This note can be crafted at the cooking station under the 'Notes' category. It uses one paper to craft.  
• Dog Treat - Go to Home Plate: The dog treats are used to send Dogmeat to the Home Plate. It can be found under the 'Roast' category. It takes squirrel bits to craft. 
  

Of note, Dogmeat will also accept the notes. Good Boi! 
..... and other companions will also accept the dog treats... I mean.. who doesn't like squirrel bits.

To look up the item IDs you can use the following commands:  

help "Companion Note - Go Home" 4
help "Companion Note - Go to the Home Plate" 4
help "Dog Treat - Go to Home Plate" 4

Then you can add the item to your inventory by using the following command, replace the XX with the item ID that was listed after using the help command. 

player.additem XX


Compatibility: 

Currently this mod is not compatible with mods that change the locations of companions original home or the home plate. For example, the send to home plate aspect of this mod is not compatible with Urban Home Plate mod, as that creates a new location. In short this mod can only direct companions to vanilla locations.  

Credit and Thanks:
