Sierra Madre Hotel/collar always explodes

[Simzu]

Im currently playin the DLC of the sierra Madre hotel(dead money)
im know in a spot were i need to repair 3 gaz valves without letting Dog (character) see me
but the colar is always beeping and will explode in 10 seconds i guess, there is no time for repairing those valves.
I saw the Wiki, there is nothing abount this issue, i guess it must be system mulfunction
Can anyone help please

Before doing that specific quest I think destroyed all the speakers in the area while doing the previous quest, so when I had to do this specific quest there were no beeping noises. I'd say go load an older save game and clear the speakers in the kitchen area and then you may move on to this quest.

how can i get back to an older auto save ??
coz i only have auto save and quick save and both of them are in the room and i cant get out
i guesse this means bye bye fallout :P

[Simzu]

i did that but if i wanna get out i need to speak to dog + repairing the valves
i managed to repair the valves and talk to dog but i only need 1 more second to reach the door

That's a really bad thing to do in a Beth RPG. Manual save in different slots frequently. There is only 1 autosave slot also, so if you can't see a save in your load screen you can't go back.

no reason to quit the game because you screwed up with too few saves. use the console and cheat your way past the problem, then resume as normal.

The game gives the player 1000 save slots for a reason, eh?

[Simzu]

ill try the cheat thing :) :P

The game keeps one backup copy of the previous autosave called autosave.fos.bak
Just rename it and get rid of the .bak extension and you'll be able to load it.

TThere is one for Operation Anchorage in TTW that adds a science check so you can just skip the simulation and get the goodies. I only did it because the Readius mod flips out when you use a simulator.

But I don't get what you achieve from skipping all of Dead Money, do you even get the rewards at the end in that mod like the OA one?
