Minutemen quest broken.
I've run into the bug where you can finish "When Freedom Calls" because the conversation you have with Preston hangs up eternally. I've seen many post about this, so I will give you the run down.
I've done two complete reloads of the game, tried with mods, without mods, with UFO and without, tried console commands, (Which does allow me to finish the quest, but I can't get the "sanctuary" or "The First Step" because Preston is still broken).
Has anyone figured this out yet?

I have restarted near a dozen times. Tried endless loads of saves. I don't want to a run without them involved you know?

How is this in any way helpful?

To SSNY: It doesn't really apply. Getting the group to go to Sanctuary isn't the problem. It's after they are there. I know people talk about the quest breaking in Concord, but in all my attempts, I've never had that problem. (I use a PC)

Ah, ok no probs. I must have misunderstood your issue then. Apologies.

Sounds like you need to start a new game. I have never had this problem with Preston and that quest. After close to 1500 hrs play time and 6 runs. However, ( not saying it is the issue ) I have never used any outside source mods.

@wtiger37 I've got 1900 hrs myself and about the same runs. But after a ton of research and trial and error, I have found the problem. Sim Settlements doesn''t work well with Beantown. I am now working past where I locked up before, so, so far so good.

Sim Settlements, is a mod. I have never used any in the game but a few from the Creation Club. But I am glad to hear you seem to have found the solution.

And what is Beantown? Another mod?

Beantown Interiors. It adds loactions and Items to the game. It's one of my favorite mods, so I'm bummed out it.

Easy. I have read posts which have mentioned the mod, but have no interest which drove me to look into it. I do not use mods, other than CC items.

There are a few exploration/content mods I have tried. BI is my favorite due to custom creations added by the modder.
