Any Ref ID of Publick Occurrences?

[=T$ECore=JohnnyTeoss◢689◤]

I want to send Piper back to her sister, but i do not want to use any mods.
That's why I am asking if anyone know the Ref ID of Publick Occurrences.
Bethesda should allow players to send Piper to her sister but they are so f--k--g lazy.

So is the problem that she returns to sanctuary then?

yes

You don't want her there? She annoys you? Or would you feel better knowing she's taking care of her sister?
When you dismiss Piper or any companion, don't you have some option of where they should go?

I would just feel a lot better knowing she's taking care of her sister rather than ditching her sister over me.
You can dismiss your companions but you can never send them back to their original home if you asked them to stay at someplace else.

next time press "cancel" when the settlement locations appear when dismissing so that piper returns to her home. once you send her to a settlement it's over, she can no more be sent to her home.
indeed bad design from bethesda.

I wish i can cancel so she can go back home to her little sis but i can't, bad luck for me to find out that Bethesda forgot a way to allow players to send your companions where you met them. Indeed a fault from bethesda.

I understand your concern but I think she'll be fine. Plus I think Piper makes a good companion. Last thing she said to her sis was to ground her so I think she's still grounded for knocking another kid that tried to kiss her on his ass and got detention.
If you were really determined it might be possible using console commands or a holotape that lets you manage your companions.

You do have an option to choose where they go. However, those options are only settlements. If you don't choose one of the options and instead hit cancel, they will go back to the last place you were when you asked them to follow you. So in order to send Piper back to her home in Diamond City, you must never dismiss her to a settlement. If you dismiss her and choose one of the settlements, she will never return to her home in Diamond City again.

The same applies to all other companions as well. If you dismiss him to a settlement, Nick will never return to his office, Strong will never return to the tower, Cait will never return to the Combat Zone, and so on.

Which means the only ones you can send back to their original home once you move them are Codsworth, Dogmeat, Preston, and Longfellow as they start the game in a settlement. And I suppose Ada qualifies as well, since her default home is set to the Red Rocket station instead of the location you first get her as a companion (the site of the battle).

console commands... I don't know... I was hoping someone would know. I checked the console commands and was not able to find what i am looking for.
holotape? is there? i heard a mod uses that.

that is what i recently find out...
So i'll just repeat

Any excuse not to check by yourself with the Creation Kit? They literally gave you the tool

literally no idea how to use that

[steventirey]

I don't think there is a console command to do this. But there is a mod for it.[www.nexusmods.com] Never used it myself, so I can't tell you how well it works.

(If you don't want to use mods because they disable the ability to get achievements, there are mods that change that as well. Those I know do work.)

[Playzr 🐵]

Mods are probably the way to go. I think for most of us, we prefer our companions at our own settlements so they didn't take your preference into consideration unfortunately.
Edit: Also, unrelated. Yesterday when I was killing some raiders to help a settlement Piper said "Hello, Piper, Publick *Appearances*" which I thought was odd. Was there ever any explanation why it's called "Publick" or do we just read between the lines.
Edit 2: I just looked it up, apparently that was the name of the first newspaper in Boston in 1690.

Yes please i would like that, been trying to search for something like that but had no luck finding something that works

[Playzr 🐵]

I googled another similar post and they pointed to this mod, whether it still works is a mystery but I wouldn't be surprised if it does:

There could also be one on the workshop for all we know.
