lost my dream home key cant enter it.
so i went to pay off my home and once i did my key is gone. i did not hand over the house but did pay the full 140k or what ever it was. anyone know of a way to get the key back to my house or even console command it as i really do not want to re make a character.

I think it's a bug - you never actually get a key to the dream home, it is unlocked for 500 credits and will re-lock after 1 week in game. Paying off the mortgage doesn't seem to unlock it as it should, so you have to make sure you go to the home and unlock it, then go and pay off the mortgage.

Since there's no key you can't console command to add the key to your inventory, and while the unlock command does change the state of the door to unlocked, activating it doesn't seem to work if unlocked that way.

Unfortunately I paid mine off then immediately dropped a save (so that save is useless, wish I saved immediately before paying it off...), then went on a rather lengthy story mission before visiting to drop off some contraband and discovering this bug... So I may have to go back a few hours to the save before that :(

Edit: I also haven't had any luck with the various quest management commands (resetquest a47b8, setstage a47b8 300, etc). If only we could get it back to stage 300 (not paid off), make sure it's unlocked, then setstage a47b8 400 to pay it off and complete the quest again..... ShowQuestVars a47b8 shows that all the quest variables get set to null once the quest is completed though, so I don't think we can just rewind it. Maybe someone with more experience with those commands can see something I've missed.

yeh i have been trying many things here and i am lvl 20+ now so im not redoing this quest on a new character. also getting those t3 mods would be a pain again lol. i will keep checking this to see if anyone has a fix for this.

also you are correct it is a massive bug because it happened to a friend also while another friend has a fully working home so idk what he did different.

OMG the same here! I'm so upset! I played 40h to pay off the mortgage and now locked out ://

It is worth noting that the quest will start over on New Game +, so if you find yourself locked out and don't want to load an earlier save you could consider rushing the main story on your current playthrough, then being careful on your next iteration to avoid the bug.

Also, it might not be worth paying off the mortgage at all on runs you intend to finish with NG+, since you can still use the house without doing so and 500cr for each week you use it will generally be significantly cheaper than paying it off unless you intend to spend a lot of time in that iteration/universe.

It is true that it's not worth it, it's just fun to play and "own property" and I wanted to finish pending quest, which doesn't provide you with an option "rent forever" but I guess jokes on me haha
