Can't romance Cait

[krag hag]

I've lockpicked so many things but this wench won't start talking to me, I've completed her quest already but after that nothing else happened. How many locks does a gal have to pick to get some caitussy around here

I dumped like 6 hours in the game today just trying to get higher affinity with her

if you don't get the romance option, or even if you decline the romance, they will still give you the option for it, which is annoying as hell. "hey, you got a minute?" no piper. i'm doing something, now go away

Can take a while to get any companion's max affinity. You can check to see what it is by using the console. Click on her and then open the console to get her ID number. Then type in getav ca_affinity. Hit enter. For max affinity that number has to be like 999 or 1000.

Remember that you can't just pick locks in succession. There is a cooldown period which is measured in in-game hours.

The problem is that I'm not getting the "hey, you got a minute?" anymore

Yes I'm aware of that, but I must've gotten like 20-30 "Cait liked that" popups by now

Likes only give 10 or 15 affinity points. you would need 25 likes in order to reach the first dialog event

For any users stumbling upon this post in 10 years, I finally got to romance Cait while doing some extermination jobs for Knight Rhys. It came pretty much out of nowhere as I hadn't picked any locks in a while, so idk what set it off.

I can finally stop walking around the commonwealth picking locks though!

As with other companions just hanging around with them for long enough and avoiding dislikes will eventually raise their affinity. It's just a matter of patience.

If you've gotten into Nuka World, you can also exploit the initial dialogue from Sierra Petrovita as long as you don't start her quest. Only a few companions (Gage, Longfellow, and X6-88) don't get a like from one of the responses when asking about her search, and the dialogue can be repeatedly exited and restarted without delay.

Gotta love Bethesda for giving us bugs to make our lives easier

It sometimes almost makes up for the bugs that make our lives harder.

Read this if you still have trouble with affection and no locks to pick. After you finished the vault 95 quest with cait, you can still use booze to raise Caits affection. Running around naked helps with Cait and Hancock affection all the time. You can still use armor parts. Just switch between loading areas. Walking from Sanctuary to Abernathy farm via Red Rocket station, should give you two likes, or use fast travel.
