Dogmeat won't follow kellogg's track after talking to Nick Valentine

[Joseph Belmont]

Hi everyone, as my title says, dogmeat is stuck in front of kellogg's house. He dosen't move (besides idles movement) or follow the track. Can somebody help?`

[EDIT]

I tried some setstage numbers and variations. Here's my solution :

[SOLUTION]

Use your console command and type the following command : Setstage "MQ106" 10

Then type the following command : Setstage "MQ106" 40

Now my dog is running like crazy to kick Kellogg's booty. Thanks Everyone for your help and concern.

Did you show him the cigar you found in Kellogg's house?

[Zekiran]

Yeah are you talking about before going in, or after coming out with the evidence you need? There will be what, 3 different items you'll be finding along the trail but it starts with that.

I had other quest issues, after this update right in the start Codsworth will not activate his dialogue so I have to circumvent the start of the main quest by going right to diamond city. Kinda BS IMO whatever got broken it worked fine before this update.

[Zekiran]

Ugh. Did you do the normal troubleshooting of verifying your game files?

[Nezchrynliir]

Yep, followed by testing mods, followed by a defrag, I do all the stock routines and well seems they mucked the game up with this update somehow. My mod loadout did not change since before the update, so that is how I know something mucked up.

[Zekiran]

Did you put the new 0.5.0 f4se on your machine or no? Because it may still be an issue conflicting with a mod that might be at fault.

[Nezchrynliir]

Yep, they broke it, it is not my mods. I am meticulous when I test mods and if a mod does not work I take it off. Not my end it's theirs, as I know the prcodures as i have been using mods since Morrowind came out. The dogmeat issue I have no idea about, my issue the stuff worked before the update. So on my end, there is only one way this could have happened given I took 5 hours going through mods and testing and I removed any issue mods.

Bethesda were more interessted in adding a potential revenustream than fix the bugs they had before - How is this surpricing?

I showed him the cigar, I got the new quest called "Reunion", the objective says something like "follow the trail with dogmeat", but this dog refuse to move.

I have installed some Bethesda.net mods ( 2 or 3 clothing mods) but nothing major or gamebreaking.

I don't use F4SE or anything like that since I suck at modding.

Is there any consol command to past through that quest like "set stage x00 00" that can be use to get past that bloody hell quest?

I collected the 3 items, gave them to dogmeat, but he dosen't move. I even fas traveled to Fort Hagen, but he stayed at diamond city, in front of kellogg's house.

I've found the solution and edited my post. Thx again people!

ONLY mod I know that breaks it is the one that makes him unable to open doors.
Was able to get around it by either going there and using console to move him to you, or uninstalling the mod until finished.

I did the quest on a new playthrough just a couple of hours ago (game and f4se updated) with no problems at all, and I'm running a sh**ton of mods on my game... it might be still modrelated, but glad you figured it out...

Man, I wish I had the same luck as you brother

[DarkEternal]

I'm modded to hell and back, latest updates for all required files, just did this quest last night with no issues.
What you experienced is a glitch. They happen and can't be traced to a particular update since it doesn't happen every time nor to every one.
Man, people are blaming every little glitch on this last update...
