Rook family house / Salem

Rook family house / Salem (possible spoilers)
Ok, I'm currently in Salem Mass - the place is deserted. There's a couple of dead mirelurks in front of a house called "Rook Family House". I did the thing ''help barney 4'' and did the "player.placeatme XX" with the XX as barnies number.( I think the numbers may be different for different games) Barney appeared! YEAAAAA!!! But, he would not talk to me.... BOOOOO!!! So, I shot him! YEAAAAA!!!! He did not have the key to the cellar door. BOOOOO!!!!

Is there anything to do here? The locked basement door requires a key. Where can I get the key? I heard tell about burney's gun shop that has the key, is that true? I absolutely MUST get into that cellar!!!!!! I MUST!!!! I MUST!!!! I MUST!!!! I MUST!!!! I MUST!!!! I MUST!!!! I MUST!!!! I MUST!!!! :-)

lol, how about original Barney not that clone you spawned?
Original Barney has the key and he's on top of his house, he may be dead so won't talk to you and won't open the door but it's easy to jump over the fence and get to his body.
Btw, if you resurrect Barney after taking his key he will continue his quest after you enter the cellar. At least that's how it worked for me.

I find if I take my time in the Salem area aka go to the convalescent home before visiting Barney he's dead on arrival.

Barney's body is exactly nowhere! I covered every square inch of Salem, no bodies but the two dead murklurks. And I killed a couple murklurks on the outskirts.

which means body's been around for too long. use the following:

prid 67c96
openactorcontainer 1

to loot Barney for his key, then you can also use

resurrect

to return the man back to life (close console to let him appear), then if he's not around

moveto player

if you still can't see him then you can try

enable

If you make Barney appear alive you have a chance to go normally through the quest.
