Help with the starting Workbench in Sanctuary, please?

[Super King Big Nutz]

So I started a new game and made it to Sanctuary, and tried to use the main Workbench to begin scrapping. Unfortunately, a message pops up saying I can't because even after searching all the houses, there are enemies in the area.

That's not true, though...I've swept thru Sanctuary top to bottom and there's nothing to kill. Some weird glitch, I guess...anyways, is there a way to override this with a console command somehow? Thanks in advance...!

Try restarting the game. Save and exit. If not, then travel away and come back.

Or you have a bug from a mod.

That's weird. Have you completed the first part of the quest and cleared the neighborhood with Codsworth?

He shouldnt need to. I play iron man and restart from the beginning all the time. :) This play through is going well so far though. Mines get me most of the time. :)

Playing iron man is awsome. Close calls or even sudden sounds are at new levels. ROFL Yesterday that UFO crashing scared the ♥♥♥♥ out of me. :)

Anyway, at the start should just be able to skirt around Codsworth and not fight at all and the workbench works.

LOL, It did to me as well the first time. I thought someone was firing Mortars or Rockets at me.

Yup, I did, which is why I'm fairly sure we got everything.

Just tried that, so unfortunately you're probably right.

in most cases it is best to go straight to the workbench before even talking to codsworth.

There is a radroach that seems to spawn somwhere in the area of the collapsed house near the bridge for me it sometimes does not appear until I scrap the place but if it somehow gets counted as one needed to have cleared the area that would make it impossible to clear.

as would the occasional glitch that seems to put some spawns underground in some places if it happens in sanctuary.

another posibillity is it failed to count one of the kills.

Have any mods? The only time this happened to me was when the mod Welcome to Goodneighbor had a bug that caused this

A clearer post

If you have a mod that packaged the workbench scripts from an older version of the game then you are SOL. You will have to remove the mod and start over

Thanks for all the help, guys...I finally found the culprit, though. The bug seemed to be tied into a save point I downloaded to avoid all the tutorial mess...once I used the mod "Start Me Up" instead, there was no problem. No problem...I just wanted the save point's character's face, anyways.

bah, never use someone else's save. they could have had settings you didn't or a mod installed prior that they removed and it left a trace in the save file.

^^^Yup, lesson learned the hard way...
