One For My Baby broken

[Elizabeth The Based]

I've spent hours now searching forums and troubleshooting this issue, but I'm stumped. I've gotten Jennie to go to the front of the dinosaur but no matter what he won't shoot. I've tried scooting her all over the place, taking the beret on and off at different points around her, doing the quest in order from No-Bark to the safe, then sending her to the dinosaur. I have tried everything I can think of or find and I am still unable to make Boone snipe her. Can anybody assist in this headache of a bug?

Is it still at night? He's only up there at night.

[Elizabeth The Based]

Yes, all of this was at night

Walk with her more up the street

I already walk with her to the rock she gets at next to the bridge like she's always done in this quest

Any mods that could've given you a second beret so that you're putting the wrong one on? Maybe try resting 24 hours before waking her up to see if there's a script that resets in between?

This reddit thread https://www.reddit.com/r/fnv/comments/56ox1y/one_for_my_baby_glitch_boone_refuses_to_shoot/ suggests "setstage 00151403 255" in the console, but says some other guy who tried it ran into some kind of glitch, but the other guy's post/account is deleted so I'm not sure what the glitch was.

Attempted it, made Boone pissed so I can only assume it's a bad stage. I checked the beret thing and it for sur eis the right one as I spawned in the correct one and no dice. I'll try the 24 hour thing with a save I setup before this once I realized the issue.

You could try incrementing other stages of the name with that same (usually xx5 or xx0) to brute force it into a workable state. Bit dangerous, though. The wiki suggests she might be standing in the wrong spot, so there's also prid 0008d74c (selecting Jeannie after telling her to go in front of the dinosaur), moveto player (you can also try and push her around with your character while wearing the beret until her head explodes).

Alright, I attempted the 24 hour rest and it didn't do anything. As for pushing around it doesn't seem to be the issue because oddly now Jennie will walk back to the spot when pushed a bit away from it.

Equip the beret and try these

set "cd08d".bVictimInZone to 1
set "cd08d".bPlayerInZone to 1
set "84223".nAccusedIndex to 1
"96bce".AddScriptPackage b8347

Well the last line of code did it, but the quest didn't move forward. I also noticed for some reason Boone continuously shot into Jennie til I entered the Dino unto which he suddenly was inside of it.

Jeannie May's script should've updated the quest after 10 seconds.
The only reason I can find for it to not update is if Boone isn't in the sniper nest.
set "96bce".bInNest to 1

"96bce".RemoveScriptPackage
SetObjectiveCompleted 151403 30 1
SetObjectiveDisplayed 151403 40 1
set "96bce".bGotRevenge to 1
set "84223".nSnipersRevengeStage to 20
"96bce".ResetAI

Yep that forced it to work. I'm still left with the mystery of what made it not work though. I've played this quest multiple times and never had an issue like this. I went through my mod list and the only mod anywhere close to touching it was Fallout Character Overhaul 3.0 due to it changing Boone's face model. Issue with that is I never could find a single report of this bug when I checked the nexus page for it and it should've popped up from my goggling if it was anywhere else. It also doesn't make sense a change in face would touch the scripts. Do you have any ideas?

Karma!

Such touches force me to keep a mod I'd have uninstalled after I have seen that it's nothing related to FNV. Coito Ergo Sum is the mod.

As a general rule of thumb, I stay away from cosmetic mods as much as I can. FNV, Skyrim and FO4 wise, and I still have 100+ active plugins.

For example Ragdolls bloated my save game, it was an exception I decided first to use, but I bluntly removed it after the incident. And the next modded Bethesda game will have minimal if not zero cosmetic modes. I don't really care if Boone looks sexy or not, I like the stories, the action and the mechanics.
