Main quest bug need help

[Dick Assman]

I have completed ring a ding ding with benny escaping but neither the ncr or the legion messenger is showing up to advance the storyline and give me quests. and I cannot travel to the fort without getting the mark of caesar(and the quest) the raft just doesnt work. I tried to talk to mr house and yes man to maybe get them to come to me and get the quests but I had no success besides causing a weird bug of having the house always wins I and II be active at the same time. I also tried to spawn in aurelio but he just says generic npc lines.

You sure the Legion guy didn't show up? He's the only one that spawns after leaving the tops. The ncr guy spawns to you after leaving the lucky 38. And he doesn't give a quest just a note to go to the quest giver.

Are you running any mods?

I do know if you go with the YES man robot in new vegas that questline will send you to Cesars fort as well. i always killed benny since he give s Signature 9mil handgun and you get his jacket too which ha barter +5 and another stat.

Perhaps see if you can back up 1 step if you keep regular save files. The game has many bugs and this stuff happens so sometime this is necessary.

im certain they didnt appear. and I didnt get any notes. I tried to talk to crocker but he just says his generic lines. I do run mods but its basic ones like anti crash and restoring cut content mods. it worked fine in previous playthroughs.

"restoring content" mods can be more than basic. Post your mods. I have a suspicion.

Welp my suspicion was Simply Uncut but you don't have it. However, you have project13 populated wasteland which is incredibly buggy, outdated, and broken. I'm like 80% sure that's your issue. I also looked it up and the first comment on the page was from a guy with a similar issue. So yeah get rid of it.

Reason I ask for mods is because many restoring content mods, especially earlier ones, have the habit of being made from people who didn't know what they were doing and causing issues with existing npc dialogue.

You also have just an abundance of outdated buggy trash. Follow Viva New Vegas for alternatives to your mods. https://wallsogb.github.io/vivanewvegas.github.io/index.html

Also, lmao. Skip Dead Money? Git gud scrub.

I have tried it from a previous save after disableing the mod you pointed out and it still didnt work. So I am not sure what to do.



About dlcs I just find them boring and out of place "lore wise" for new vegas besides honest hearts. id rather skip them all. Also lets not start an online argument over this because I want a fix for my problem rather than paragraphs long discussions that dont matter.

Companions Infinite Ammo - broken, use JIP CCC.

Project 13 - Vex covered that.

Two Perks Perk Level - Broken, use Stewie's Tweaks

Horny Situation - not familiar, but *most* horny mods for NV are just badly made and broken. No judgement, but they all seem like they were coded one-handed.

Unlimited Companions - obsolete. Use Stewie;s Tweaks.

Pacer's Gambit - obsolete. Avoid mods that old.

Skip DLC Dead Money - obsolete and HORRENDOUSLY broken. Just having that installed has rendered your save doomed. Again, avoid mods that old. If you want to cheat, use the console.

Outside Bets - same deal, obsolete and ancient. Use a modern version like Panzer's. Why do you have two of it installed?

You won't be able to get it to work by uninstalling mods, most likely. Something broke the trigger and associated script. It's save baked. You *might* be able to go back to an earlier save and get it to work after removing some mods, but your save will be equally doomed by removing mods mid-playthrough. It may mostly work, but other things will be broken.

a throny situation is not a perverted mod. its tied to the thorn arena in westside lmao. the entire point of the mod is that you can release the animals to destroy the location but thanks for the advice

[psychotron666]

Simply removing a mod won't help you, whatever it has broken is baked into your save game.

You'll have to remove the bugged mods, and then start a new game to get rid of the bugs caused by the mods.

Explains why I couldn't find it lol, skipped a ltter.

That said, it's still from 2012 and should likely be avoided for the same reasons as everything else that old.
