ahahlberg Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I've been having a problem lately with inactive companions appearing and then disappearing while I'm traveling up or down in elevators. By inactive, I mean NPCs like Synth Nora and Harley Quinn that I had as a companion through their respective mods but later dismissed and rejoined with several times during the course of my many days of gameplay but now only appeared in the game when traveling in elevators. At one point I was running around with four companions and Dogmeat using AFT and had no real issues. But then the minor problem occurred - I would get into an elevator with 3 or 4 companions and while riding in the elevator a dismissed companion (not actively a current companion) would appear only while riding in the elevator and promptly disappear when the doors opened. I discovered that if I was quick enough I could use the AFT controls to get control of the dismissed companion and send them somewhere else, but trying to use the console to get their ref ID would not happen fast enough for them to still be onscreen in order to get their ref ID. So what I'm really asking here is how to obtain the ref ID of mod-based NPC that has wound up in some kind of limbo, only appearing somewhat randomly while transiting in an elevator. While I was eventually able to catch Synth Nora with AFT tools and send her to her home, Harley Quinn from Depravity remains elusive and since I managed to "fix" Synth Nora, Harley has appeared in elevators much less often making it hard to try the same AFT trick on her to get her back into normal gamespace.So my question is about getting the ref ID of a mod-based NPC so I can do a player.placeatme refid to get them back into normal gamespace. For the main game characters there are lists out there of their ref IDs but I have so far been unable to locate a list of NPC ref IDs for the various mods I run like OAR, FCR, Depravity, etc. The simple answer would merely be to get Harley's ID from someone as she is the only NPC still in "limbo" but if there's a way to solve the general problem of getting a ref ID of the form XXNNNNNN I'd like to know about it! I tried using FO4 Edit to view the NPC list but it only shows a Form ID (0720d6b0) and not a ref ID I can use on the console. Any help with this minor but complicated issue would be appreciated.
