Return To sender Chief Hanlon Bug With Mods

[sneakynicolas]

Hello,

Currently I am having a problem where at the end of Return to sender quest where Chief Hanlon refuses to commit suicide and he just keeps the door locked and is unconscious. I know is something in my load order or my selection of mods, since i tested with no mods and the quest works fine. I spent hours trying to find a fix for this issue. I could just disable all mods, complete quest, and enable mods back, but i am afraid it might screw up the game. I want to turn this guy in because i want the revolver and I know i can just keep the secret and pickpocked but i want this guy dead lol.

If anybody knows what the issue is, I would greatly appreciate the help. Also if you see problems with my load order, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

* Don't install every optional file for a mod. Read the install instructions carefully. Optional files need to be selected on a "case by case" basis. For example: with any mod you usually only need one ESP (and possibly one ESM) "base" file depending upon whether you have all the DLCs active or not. Only if you don't have them all active do you need to install any specific DLC versions if there is an "Ultimate Edition/All/Merged DLC" version. Cases in point: EVE, WMX, YUP.

* "Compatibility patches" to make one mod work with another need to be placed after (as in "physically lower, higher numbered") in the "load order" than ALL of the plugins they are designed to make compatible. (This also applies to "fix" files.) ESMs should always be placed at the top (lowest numbered) positions in the "load order", followed by the related ESPs though they can be separated from their ESMs by other plugins. LOOT does a good job of determining those basic orders, but it is a "crutch". (The "Tale of Two Wastelands" site has A Guide for Not using LOOT for those interested in learning how to manually manage their "load order" for themselves.) Getting the "load order" incorrect will cause "Missing Masters" errors as well. You can make minor adjustments to the order and tell LOOT how to remember them. It's in the on-line documentation under "Metadata".

FYI: The "pre-order packs" (aka "POPs": Caravan, Classic, Mercenary, and Tribal; available now in the "Courier's Stash" addon), are not considered "true DLC expansions" by most mods and are treated as "compatibility patches" because they just add certain unique items. So their absence should not deter you from using "All DLC Merged" plugins. Where they are included, they should come after "GunrunnersArsenal.ESM" which is a true DLC expansion. When in doubt, follow the process in the wiki "Missing Masters" article to confirm they are not "master files" for that plugin.

Once you have resolved those conflicts, rebuild your "Bashed Patch" and FNVMerged files.
