vault 88 quest bugs

[THICCOSAURUS]

So I was having a problem with the quest a model citizen where after we interviewed the 3 new residents barastow just kept repeating lets do the next interview so I was stuck in a cycle of doing the same interviews and being unable to complete that quest, I looked at another forum and the only solution I found was to use setstage console commands to complete that quest and start the next one but when I did that then I also got stuck on power to the people after I built the power cycle 1000 prototype it still just says to build the powercycle 1000 prototype and I have not been able to find a solution anywhere online my oldest save is right before the interviews so I cant go back much further if I somehow bugged it. Has anyone ran into either of these issues before?

Any vault 88 mods?

Have you outfitted the settlers with vault suits and pipboys?

Or did you by chance scrap the crates containing the vault suits or pipboys?
Read somewhere that scrapping those crates will cause problems.

Ez Euzit no vault 88 mods and I havent outfitted any settlers or scrapped the crates with the suits in them

Saw a post on the bethesda forums saying that moving the overseer's desk somewhere else might hlep, but can't say for sure. Maybe you have a save prior to the glitch and can run through it again but outfit the 3 of them with vault suits and pipboys before talking to the overseer to complete the quest. Other than that I'm at a loss.

Ez Duzit so I tried to do that but the highlighting option wont even show up on her desk like it does everything else I am going to try and just do some other quests for a while and hope this fixes itself somehow

[Ez Duzit]

Are you using any mods at all, maybe Scrap everything mod? I have read a few posts that it causes problems in vault 88 if you use to scrap anything before completing quests.

Doing some quests outside the vault like you said might help but keep in mind you might need to resert to an earlier save to retry vault 88. Hopefully you have a save before starting the vault or at least before the model citizen quest began.

[Ez Duzit]

Seems leaving the vault and than going back often fixes the problem, but if not you'll probably need to reset to before the model citizen quest started

Ez Duzit yeah I was using that one and uninstalled it and it didnt help tried all these but I was having ctds alot to so I just started a new game and cleaned house on alot of the mods hopefully I will have a more stable playthrough this time

[Ez Duzit]

Yeah, I keep mods to a minimum. Maybe 20-25 max And I'm selective about the ones I use. 7 or 8 of em were additional quest mods I loaded towards the end of my first playthrough. Made a save near the end, just before the point you have to choose a faction for the endgame. Played thru those mods and than did the 4 different endings. Uninstalled the quest mods before my 2nd run thru, except for Tales from the Commonwealth which fits into the game so well I wanted it from the start.

I’m wondering, is there a specific place where I need to put the overseers desk? Because when I would place the overseers desk next to Barstow, the quest wouldn’t complete, and it’s starting to get frustrating

its because you use the wrong one, its not the one in the furniture tab, you need the one from the special tab....
