Workshop Achievements Buggy Still?

[Yomshii]

There's probably a thread somewhere but I ran into a crippling bug with "Trapper" and certain quest givers, such as Preston. My first attempt I collected all the materials and plopped everything down at Starlight Drive-In, had everything powered and even made duplicates of every cage. Nothing popped. My second attempt I tried again in sanctuary but this time I used console commands to see if it was just a bug with Starlight Drive-In. No success. Third attempt I tried Jamaica plains and this time used TGM (god mode) and straight up spawned everything in, didn't work. I deleted my entire playthrough (almost 5 days worth) and started a new character. This is where my quest giver bugs started showing up noticably. I wasn't really interested in quests anyways as I just grinded my way up off other stuff, anyways I built everything again and no such luck. I saw some threads on websites saying to restart the game and such, that didn't help.

Anyways, if someone could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Trapper is my last achievement for 100% and my completionist tendancies are itching to finish this game.

Cheers

Ok, have to ask...

1. Are you using mods?
2. Are you using the F4SE acheivement enabler? If so are you lauching through F4SE.exe?
3. Why not go modless then just console yourself the supplies to make the cages?

[Yomshii]

Yeah my bad I knew I left that information out. No I am not using mods, not using F4SE. I did console the stuff to make the cages and it bugged my game out and achievement didn't pop. I was wondering if there is a certain special criteria or if it's pretty much RNG on whether or not it pops after the 15th cage.

Did your remember the gorilla cage only unlocks if you evacuated the institute?

I couldn't get any of my cages to work until I built the Beta wave emitter. Even the docile animal cages wouldn't spawn without it.

[Yomshii]

I've built everything aside from gorrila cage, i've read that gorilla cages aren't meant for the achievement to pop but i can go ahead and try it out i guess.

Edit: I pulled the following from the wikia itself.
Only the default 15 cages are required for this achievement. The gorilla cage, which may be unavailable to players depending on story progression or quest choices, is not necessary for this achievement

If tha tis the case, simpyl go with the modless option, load a save exiting vault 111, run to sanctuary then console command yourself the materials and build them all.

[Yomshii]

Just did that, didn't work out too well. I'll try building in all the different settlements incase the others got bugged.

[Bored Peon]

I did my cage achievement at Spectacle Island, if that helps?

[Yomshii]

Yeah it's bugged for all the settlements, is there a way to mess with the files to see if something is blocking it?

[Lifeisagame]

sure, if you dint already check file integry:

Seems strange by the way, i dint even build all cages in one place and did get the achievment.. Maybe it messed up the Global Variables (witch usualy trigger stuff like that) but its hard to see how you did that - Usualy its mods messing stuff like that up

Afaik, console command disable achievemnts until the game was restarted.

Ahh.. n/m that was with NV, i think...

Well consoling the cages in would probbaly not count. Howeveer consoling the materials to build the cages should work just fine, which is why I said to console the materials.
