Settlers Not doing jobs, but jobs still counting?

[ForcefulMocha]

I've recently got back into Fallout 4 and I modded it. My character only has a few hours on him, but I'd prefer to not have to restart if possible. I downloaded all the mods then did a new save character.

 

My issue is that in workshop mode I can assign settlers to jobs, and they'll get assigned, but they will never actually do their job.

For example, I made 2 guard posts in sanctuary and assigned Jun Long to them. He will get assigned, as in my defense will go up, but he will never actually go and use the guard posts. Another example is I assigned Sturges to the scrapping station, and he's assigned to it, but he will never actually go use the station. The two of them just walk around and do the hammer animations.

 

Thinking about it, I don't think I've seen them do anything except walk around and do the house hammering. I've only seen 2 of them go to bed. ever. I even camped the beds and watched for them to come in and only 2 did.

 

What's causing this and what's the best way to fix it?

 

This was happening before I had FO4 Npcs Travel, Salvage Beacons, Alien Encampments, Fusion City Rising, Outcasts and Remnants, Project Valkyrie, Workshop Rearranged, Operation Manhattan, the 3 hair mods, and Creation Club Content and related patches.

Do you have any of the same mods as me? Or probably more specifically any of the same settlement mods as me? That could probably help narrow it down if there's an issue

We long-time F4 player call that feature "The Game".

 

Seriously, those Sanctuary dweebs are clueless - always have been. I also assigned Sturges to a Scrapping station my first play-through, and he never went to it. It seems Bethesda decided they should only know how to farm, and so, that's the only job they will actually be seen doing. They all go to sleep, though, so maybe you have a different problem (Marcie Long sleeps in MY bed, while her husband sleeps on a mattress at our feet... as it should be for that miserable wretch LOL).

 

*AHEM* moving on...

 

Hargarves always worked the clothing store at my Red Rocket perfectly (and went to her proper bed - the only one IN the RR). However, I had her at the Castle last play-through and she just stood around somewhere else. I could still buy/sell from her - she just refused to go to her booth. Weird. I also note the last time I stopped there she was up all night and never went to a bed...

 

You know who does that? A Synth! :ohmy:

 

 

EDIT: 'Scrap Everything' does something funky to the 'ground' at the Castle, so it may be a pathing problem for poor Anne. She should have stuck to acting. :tongue:
