Something's wrong with my settlements?

[LucidLady]

Ok, so i've been trying to figure this out for a month or so now.

I am dealing with over 200 mods in this game, but literally everything else is working 100% fine.

When I put the saves through ReSaver, it tells me there's zero abandoned scripts, formlists, etc. No errors come up at all with these saves.

 

I also verified the game files relatively recently. I've gone through systematically and disabled at least half my mod list at this point. And things have improved, but clearly i'm still missing something. I tested all mods that had to do with editing settlements in any way, to no avail. (i did not disable Thicket Executions, or Abernathy/Sanctuary/Sunshine Overhauls. Been playing with those for ages before this issue came up, never had problems, so i've re-enabled them, as well as every other settlement-related mod) And every test was done with a new game. Extremely time consuming.

 

Note: none of these issues were present before the update around the start of March. I'm certain I updated everything that needed updating just fine, like always. So i'm inclined to think the issues came from something Bethesda did, but didn't mention in the update notes.

 

Before I go blathering about these small little issues that all seem to be connected to a single cause, let me say that i'm mostly looking for other methods to check what's going on, on my own? Is there a way I can monitor scripts as they're going in game? Are there popular tools I can run these saves through, like ReSaver? In case ReSaver has missed something. Also, I generally want to ask if anyone else is having any similar issues, ever since the beginning of March?

 

The Problem(s) ---

 

Basically, my provisioners aren't walking between settlements. When I assign them to be a provisioner, they just stand in one spot forever.

 

Also, when building, my companion follows me around. This doesn't bother me, but I know it's not suppose to be happening. The companion is suppose to go stand next to the Workshop bench until you exit build mode. Seems somewhat connected to whatever this settlement issue is.

 

On top of that, i'm unable to recruit any Legendary Vendors, despite having all requirements met. I know I can get around this by teleporting the vendor to my settlement then sending them and assigning them however I like. But again, it seems connected to whatever this settlement issue is.

 

Next, a minor related issue with my Quick Trade mod. The way it is suppose to work in regards to companions is, you have to dismiss them to a settlement once, then after that, you get the Inventory button. However, that isn't working now either, except with Vault 88. Additionally, I get no Inventory Quick Trade button with settlers on any other settlement, aside from Vault 88.

 

Lastly, my character says settler lines of dialogue. Not all the time, but a solid 50% of the time. When I click on an NPC to talk to them, first my settler stands there in silence while one of the random lines of Dialogue you hear from a settler plays out. I can only tell that's happening, because I see the subtitles for the dialogue, with my character's name as the one speaking. After the silent dialogue is done, the NPC will address me like usual. I thought this might be caused by the Greeting Distance addon to the QuickTrade mod, but I tried disabling that entire mod on a new save, and there was no effect.

 

 

Now, i'll post my massive load order. I ordered it myself, and like I said, everything else is working absolutely perfectly, aside from whatever this settlement issue is.

I feel like this might be some combination of mods, some conflict i'm not seeing. If anyone else is experiencing any of these issues as well, what mods do we have in common? I'm sure the Load Order is fine, as everything else is working 100% problem free.

 

I also encountered someone else on the Bethesda forums who was having the same issue I had, but at the time I hadn't yet updated to the version put out around the start of March. They were also running a modded game, but not nearly as modded as mine.
