I am running unlimited companion mod and nearly every female companion available. The first playthrough Vex had the blue grid come out of her belly button piercing but only after i hit the Windows key and then came back to the game. The sequence went as follows: 1. gathered all companions near the first door ( I use a batch file to put them all in Sun Pose 13, console command playidle sun13, to keep them from running around) 2. I command Ada to inspect the "strange device" 3. Go back to windows 4. Go back to the game 5. Hit TAB key 6. Laser grid shoots from Vex's belly button (apparently she is wearing a secret decoder belly button piercing) Once I saw this I took Vex out of Sun13 and asked Ada to inspect the device. Vex ran over and used the grid to open the door. Subsequent doors were opened by having Ada and Vex near the door 1. Ada inspects the door 2. Switch to Windows 3. Switch back to the game 2. Vex runs over automatically and uses the grid. 3. Door opens And the Mechanist final battle does not trigger so now I'm trying to work around that glitch, sheesh... Hope this helps anyone struggling with this glitch. Obviously you don't necessarily use Vex the initial gathering at the door should show you which companion has the magic decoder belly button.

James you are a genius! I don't have Place Everything but I do use a batch file to set timescale to zero for pics and crafting outfits for companions. I accidentally left it set at 0 several saves ago and couldn't get companions to follow. Found this thread, back to game, set timescale to 20 and they follow me into the building. Brilliant! Thanks
