Drunken gnomes

[Fear1ing]

Hey!

I allow myself to dig up the topic because I cannot find Flyod ! I searched all the greenhouses of the indicated place several times, but impossible to get my hands on it ... Is this a bug ? Would anyone have any hints, or a screenshot ?

Some mods can make the location of a given gnome unreachable as they cause a "conflict". Some gnomes are placed in the "exterior worldspace", as well as "interior" cells modified by Checksteel's "NVInteriors Project" mods. "Freeside Open" for one is known to cause such a conflict.

 

If your quest fails to update after you are forced to use a console command (such as "TCL" to toggle "clipping") to retrieve one, try dropping that gnome to the ground, save, exit to the desktop, and then reload the game. When you reload the game, pick him up and the quest should advance (with a travel marker to your prize if you have all 30. Check your Pipboy map).

I'm going to take this opportunity to update the "Alphabetical" sorted version of the list in the first post "spoiler" tags to include the last location.

 

30 Gnomes, In Alphabetical order.

01. Billy the Boomer - At the top of the tower at Nellis. Must go through the new building in Nellis from the interiors mod to reach it.

02. Bozo the Clown - in the South Vegas Ruins, in the Neon Sign yard, next to the B&K Cleaners Sign.

03. Colonel Klink- on a cliff to the left of the Remnant Bunker. Follow the cliff edge to the left as you face the bunker entrance. Go to the top of the hill and look in the first depression by the cliff top.

04. (Take) Corporal Punishment - in the lower half of the Graveyard at Camp Forlorn Hope. He is next to the cliff against the edge of the hill. Easiest to find in the daylight.

05. Festus - In the back of one of the Sunset Sarsaparilla trucks out by the Sunset Sarsaparilla factory.

06. Fire Marshall Bill - Searchlight, at the rear of the Fire Station, behind the small broken walls.

07. Floyd - NCR Sharcropper Farm, in greenhouse under planting box near Camp McCarren fence.

08. Genghis - Red Rock Drug Lab, in 2nd small trailer on right as you enter the camp

09. Gomer - On the right side of the El Dorado Gas station, between the building and the large gas tank.

10. Happy Hour - Behind the Gas station on the hill in Goodsprings.

11. Joe Twelve Pack - above the entrance to Searchlight North Gold Mine. Located on top of the hill above the mine entrance. Almost in line with the Coyote Mine Shack and the Searchlight Water Tower.

12. Johnie Reb - Near Horowitz Farmstead, in downed silo.

13. Last Call - Blue Paradise Vacation Rentals, on the small rock ridge behind the two graves.

14. Larry the Lush - Quarry Junction, inside the large shovel bucket on the left side of the quarry floor.

15. Major Tom - at the Old Nuclear Test Site, at the top of the small hill next to the sand bag observation area; to the right of the sand bags as you face the truck.

16. Minor League - NCR Correction Facility, in tower shack by Admin bldg (on the left tower as you face admin).

17. Mr Robinson - Camp Golf, in the Guard Tower overlooking Lake Las Vegas where the water pipeline starts.

18. Officer Friendly - out front of the Nevada highway patrol station, in a bush.

19. Otis- in Gypsum Train Yard behind a dumpster beside the main building. (Beware the Deathclaws.)

20. Party Time- in the Repconn Test Site in the rubble on right far side of the building. The rubble pile is past the rocket and though the arch.

21. P.B.R - Originally in freeside, by the north gate. Go through the North Gate into Freeside. Take the first left between the building and the Mormon Fort. There is a building behind Genaro, the meat salesmen. Go left again behind the building and left again at the back towards the open dumpster. There will be some stuff in front of it - you may have to jump in to spot it. Should be in the back left corner. (There should be meat or a body in front of it, if you have NVB I installed.) [NOTE: the "Freeside Open" mod makes the original location unreachable. He was moved for TTWInteriors to the part of Freeside with the King school, and was supposed to be for NVInteriors as well (in 2014) but no update has been published since 2013.]

22. Private Ryan - this is in Boulder City. it is outside on the right hand side of the bakery where you meet the the Great Khans who shot you.

23. Ranger Rick - In Ranger Station Charlie, over near Novac. This gnome is behind one of mobile homes, between it and the wall, in a bush opposite the radio tower on the south side of the ranger station.

24. Ralph - inside a railcar on broken bridge at the edge of Crescent Canyon.

25. Sgt Schlitz - Samson Rock Crushing Plant, 2nd Floor outside on the roof balcony.

26. Tanto - On the second story of the burnt and gutted out farm over top of the ant mound.

27. The Lone Ranger - is In Bonny Springs, in the corner of a destroyed house on the left side as you enter the main street. Should be the one next to the intact building about mid block.

28. Uncle Fester - Black Mountain, left side at edge in the Radar Dish Shelter.

29. Whisky Dick - In Primm, on the highest point on the roller coaster. (Used TCL to get to it.)

30. Willy the Wino - at the Crashed Airliner Site, in front of the large bolder just behind the honey mesquite tree. There is a downhill slope, so the base of the rock is much lower than the plane. If there have been any explosions in the vicinity, he might have been tossed further into the desert. [NOTE: Vurt's "Wasteland Flora Overhaul" (Dead Version, at least, not sure about the other ones) spawns a rock right on top of the gnome, along with a dead tree instead of a honey mesquite tree.]

I don't have any mod such as Freeside open and I tried the TCL but it just went glitchy and I didn't find the little guy...

Console command "TCL" disables "collision" so you can pass through objects that normally would prevent you, such as rocks and walls. You can combine it with "TFC" (toggle "free camera"), by issuing those commands separately one after the other, which lets you "fly" around in any direction (by looking in the direction, including up and down, and using the player movement keys) to examine things quickly. Both are toggles, so set them back when done.

 

Don't know what else to tell you, except possibly post your "load order" so we can see if anyone spots the potential conflict.

Finally found it with the help of TCL/TFC ! Thank you for the help !

2 Notes about The NV gnomes in TTWInteriors:

 

Officer Friendly is bugged and can't be picked up.

Fix from TTW Forum:

Open xEdit find xx1CF213 "Officer Friendly" and rename the Model Filename from NVInteriorsMeshes\clutter\GardenGnomes\gardengnomePoliceHat.nif
to NVInteriorsMeshes\clutter\GardenGnomes\gardengnomePoliceHat01.nif

 

PBR is in a bus wreck in the part of Freeside with the Atomic Wrangler.
