Companions won't follow into interior cells

[JamesAutumn]

With the current load order stated above from me i have tried several things.

 

-Removing and reinstalling mods appropriately through loot and checking for errors in f04edit

-Starting on a clean new game with no mods installed.

 

In regards to playing with no mods, it worked but i think the main point i'm seeking help on is getting the companions to work with mods. I love modding my games so it's only natural i want things to feel like a smooth transition and not a mess.

 

So the main focus of my seeking help is to get advice/help on why i'm having this issue with mods enabled. The clean new game i did was proof the base game seems to be alright. The mods installed one by one still seem to be fine. But it feels like once i progress to a certain extent the followers will stop in there tracks.

 

To answer a previous post on when it started happening. Real people i dunno cause i work and sleep so that's lost on me. I'd say once i got to diamond city and recruited piper and rescued nick is when i started noticing the issue arising.

i have a theory that has taken me all of this morning to create.... i call it the pip pad/nora companion theory...

see i never uninstalled pippad and decided to just say f'it and use it through the starting part on a new save.... also i wanted my nora companion now instead of waiting till diamond city, so i consoled a nora grenade and got her....

now onto the theory, i downloaded a save
http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/70/?

and used that so i could test "no mods and test-meat... i mean dogmeat >_>" and well the dog worked fine and then when i coc'd to diamond city's entry and went through pipers bs and went inside diamond city and did her test, she also worked (yes i do have a unlimted companion mod) but then when i went inside the dugout bar she went inside with me... YAY!!! so i tried to dissmiss her, she wouldn't let me into the talk function.... >_>

so now i'm off to try making a new save and not having pippad and nora companion and seeing if this somehow fixes anything....

As a note... THANK GOD for Transfer Settlements cause well with out it, i'd be so pissed >_>

Well. Some progress at least. You both know your base game is fine. The author for the Pip-Pad states to not start a new game with it installed. So I would just run base game and slowly activate 10 mods at a time until I see where the problem is. Try to focus on mods you installed recently first. What you are looking for- I think- is anything that might affect followers or the navmeshes in the game. Wish I could help more. Good luck! :smile:

[horouboi]

what type of mods would screw up the navmesh though? and would unlimited companion framework screw with anything, cause so far i think theres a issue with it.... but i'm very 50/50 on this

[chucksteel]

World editing mod ones that add new interiors, Worlds or places to explore could break the navemesh and followers entering buildings. One of the early Beth updates changed something and my mod Beantown Interiors needed an update because followers would no longer enter my interiors. (this didn't affect vanilla interiors just ones I added)

 

It was a simple but annoying patch where I just had to go and update all of my navemesh.

 

but, I would look at any mods you have that do add new locations check to see if they have been updated.

 

I'm only making a guess here though and it is a possibility that it's just an out of date mod.

[horouboi]

cool i'll look into that, thanks for the help on understanding

[hall1385]

I am having the same issue as well :( i've tried the clean install and no luck...i've disabled all my mods and tried to run the game that way and no luck as well. I've run loot order as well no luck there....dont know whats going on. I also notice that vault 81 is messed up...the kids never go to class and some stand on the desk if they do decide to show up to class..here's my load order

any help or advice would be helpful

[Fkemman11]

@ hall1385. If you are having that problem with NO mods installed then you can verify you game files at Steam. If that doesn't help then you will likely need to reinstall FO4.

[hall1385]

thanks for the help ill run my game with no mods and then go from there thanks again :laugh:

[JamesAutumn]

The companion glitch happened for me on my new save after i did a minute man mission at corvega and turned it in to preston. Since then i have had no followers follow me in and out of buildings.

 

EDIT: When i noticed preston stopped all my followers from going into buildings with me, i thankfully had a save that was only 20 minutes behind. When i went back i was very careful to engage preston in dialog that would cause him to be recruited by me. Since the past two hours he and dogmeat have both followed me in and out of various cells including diamon city shops like fallons and back street apparel. Underground bunkers for minutemen quests like abernathy's daughters lockett. Will continue testing

 

EDIT 2: I also disable one minuteman radiant quest at a time.
