Can't start Dead money

[Detective Costeau]

I unlocked the abandoned Brotherhood of steel bunker via commands, but when I approach the radio, nothing happens. i read on a different thread that entering the divide and leaving can reset some value that fixes it, but that didn't work. help!?

uhh iirc you need to listen to the dead money radio station on the pipboy, that's what starts it.
The DLC might not even be turned on in the data files, idk.
If you had to open the bunker with commands when something's wrong in the first place.
You had the wherewithal to use the console to open the door, so I dunno why you don't just use the console to start the quest.

As above - if you had to unlock it with console commands, something is broken.

I tried listening to the radio broadcast a few times. wouldn't activate the quest. had to check the wiki to see where the bunker was.

You're going to need to start the quest via the console then.

What's the command to do that? i tried imputing <setstage> then the stage id from the wiki, but it didn't work.

No. FOMM is half a decade out of date. Even the people who made FOMM have recommended against using it. The most recent fork hasn't even been updated in 3 years, and the author of that fork has dropped support and recommended users change to a modern mod manager.

MO2 is fully modern and allows totally non-destructive modding of the game - that means a full ability to snap back to any point instantly, easy and instant switching between modded setups, and no danger if you accidentally validate files. It also has full previewing for texture overwrites, full built-in support for xLODGen, xEdit, and every other more advanced tool you might want in future.

FOMM should no longer be used, any more than NMM should be used.

I personally use Vortex. I'm not sure how they compare as I've never used FOMM, MO, or MO2. Only NMM and Vortex. Everything works fine for me on there.

[Detective Costeau]

Dead money looks checked in the plugins section of MO2. Also dead money associated things do appear such as the sierra madre broadcast, and the BOS bunker with the sierra madre stuff. the DLC is loaded I think, i just can't start the quest "Sierra Madre Grand Opening!".
