NPC won't start conversation

It's not that odd because the one you spoke to probably has the new dialogue package at the moment, and I suspect the other one is using her default one. That's why I'm asking about the results of these console commands.

 

I'll have a look at Young Hearts, which is very close to what we want here.

So I just tried it, and it did not work. But here are the results of the console commands:

 

Groupie 1 and Groupie 2

FF00130D

 

Groupie 1 (stable)

0A00BBF5

 

Groupie 2 (stable)

00115CA3

In what way did it not work? Does it look funny or does it appear exactly the same as before? Did you change the names I put so that they reflect your reference IDs that you put for each groupie? Suppose I should have mentioned that to be sure.

 

As predicted:

So, what's happening is this: the first goupie's stable package is the one you made. You can tell this from the first two characters in th Form ID that was returned by the command, 0A00BBF5. If you check your load order, I have no doubt that your mod will have a mod index of 0A.

 

The vanilla game is always 00, so anything with a Form ID that starts with 00 is from the vanilla game, like groupie 2's stable AI package, which sensibly involves wandering within 500 units of her starting location.

 

Then they have an 'interrupt' package which is generated dynamically for this save, and that's what starts with FF. What I believe is happening is it's making a new package that involves the two old packages and your dialogue all at once, and I think that if you assigned the other groupie a new AI package that involved no movement, this would work.

 

So my new idea is to try an AI package like Escort or Follow and set the distance to 150. Don't have time to give you the details of that, but if you feel like experimenting, it shouldn't be too hard.

It worked! I used a follow package and now it works! Thank you so much for your help!

Holy Jesus, haha. I'm thrilled that you got it and that I was able to help you do so. Test it a lot to make sure it holds up, and don't be afraid to post back if it doesn't.
