Are there any mods that cause all three Old World Blues sink upgrade quests to start at the same time? If not, how can I make one?

Are there any mods out there that cause the quests "Influencing People" and "Field Research" to start at the same time as "All My Friends Have Off Switches"?

If not, can anybody explain what I would have to do to make such a mod?

Since these three quests can be completed in any order either way it would be nice to be able to track my progress though "Influencing People" and "Field Research" in the Pip-Boy without having to complete "All My Friends Have Off Switches" first.

Just look up the quest IDs and use setstage QID 0 or 1

Thanks, I'd been trying to figure out what the console command for starting a quest was.

Though I'd still like to put together a mod that does this automatically if anybody can tell me how.

Ok, I tried this and it didn't work. The quests aren't showing up in my Pip-Boy.

You'd have to modify scripts. Find the conversation that gives you the first one and add in two lines for the other two. So you'll need GECK to do it, can't be done easily in FNVEdit.

Edit: Strange. usually setstage <ID> 1 works to start quests.

How do I find the relevant conversation?

[talgaby]

Well, you look through the conversations. If you know who gives them (I think the Sink CIU), then you only need to look through its lines.

[Bohandas]

I'm not even entirely sure I understand what you mean by "conversations". Do you mean the stuff in conversations tab of the quest editor window?

Also, I'm pretty sure you actually get the quest during the initial encounter with the Think Tank (in the quest "Welcome to the Big Empty" - which doesn't appear to have anything it either its Conversations tab or its Dialog Tree tab)

[talgaby]

I don't remember where you get it exactly, despite OWB being the DLC I played the most. But I remember that it is started via conversation.

[Bohandas]

OK, a bit of digging indicates that what I was after is probably the topic "NVDLC03DoctotOLVLTopic002" in the quest "NVDLC03DialogueKlein"

[talgaby]

If one of the lines is the quest start, then yes. Still remembered as if the CIU starts it, but hey, my memory is super bad.

[Bohandas]

Ok, I've got something put together. Thank you for your help.

I also figured out what I was doing wrong here. Apparently for some reason Influencing People and Field Research start at stage ten instead of stage one.
