I built Marcy Long a pillory and she won't go to it.

Is there a way to fix it where I can get her in the pillory?

Someone made her get into it and they mentioned they made a sign about not feeding the female dog <----(insert nasty swear word here)and she had let herself out before the sign was finished, you'll have to wait for a mod that locks people in and with effects like tazz and freeze lol

owe it was in the gtaforums fallout 4 thread I read this today

Kinda lame that I have to wait for a mod. Thanks for the info though =)

hey there is a mod at nexusmod site that turns the longs into cats, if you really can't stand the sight of her

It's just buggy. You should be able to put them in there if you reload your save or travel around a bit.

Unfortunately they can get out of it on their own and don't stay in it for long.

It isn't really a bug. It's the scripted A.I. for Marcy, Jun, Mama Murphy, and Sturges.

Most settlers will go and do what you tell them to. If you tell them to farm, they'll be out in the fields, kneeling next to the crops they're in charge of, messing with them. If you tell them to mind one of the shops, they'll hang out behind the counter during business hours.

If you tell Marcy, Jun, Mama Murphy, or Sturges to go farm, they'll do it very occasionally, but most of the time, they'll wander around the settlement and beat on the yellow house that the workshop is in. The crops will count as being farmed, for the purposes of food production, but the characters' actual behavior won't match. Same deal if you assign them as shopkeepers. You can buy things from them during business hours, but they'll wander around the damned settlement, and you have to track them down to buy from them. They don't stay behind the shop counters during business hours.

Same deal with the pillory. They'll occasionally get into the thing, but most of the time, they'll wander off and bang on that house with a hammer. Kind of annoying, but it fits what we've seen them do previously.

They really need to change that A.I. behavior pattern. I have a HUGE cement fortress that's in brand new condition and is heavily fortified with heavy laser-turrets on the roof and all sorts of high-tech amenities. STOP TRYING TO FIX UP THAT ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ WORTHLESS HOUSE!

Personally, I set up three pillories for Piper, Cait, and Curie. I travel with them the most often, since I'm sleeping with all three, and it's nice to be able to get the bonus for sleeping with a lover, wherever I go. When they're all in pillories, I know where to find them when I want to grab one to go traveling.

Yes, I know there's something deeply wrong with me.

Until they patch it the only way I know to solve it is to either load a previous save or to use the console. Here's how to do it:
1. open the console
2. select the follower you want to fix
3. type in and execute each one of the following lines:
addkeyword WorkshopAllowCommand
addkeyword WorkshopAllowMove
addkeyword WorkshopAllowCaravan

Unfortunately further tests showed that the bug is still there. When you leave the area where the "fixed" companion resides and come back the "build mode" commands for them will be gone, they will however still be doing what you set them to do. To issue new orders just repeat the console commands.
Gonna work on this some more.

Thanks to sasha-san for this workaround.

I will give it a try, thanks. =)

Spank her... hard.
I think she likes it ;)

Cait seems to have a self-abusive streak, as well. She's probably more of a switch, though. She alternates between beating on everyone around her and beating on herself.

Finish Sturges' quest and then kill her when she becomes unessential, or use "setessential 0001d162 0" in the console to make her unessential and then kill her anyway. alternatively, you can click on her while console is open, and use the "setessential 0" command, and then kill her.

Damn didn't expect anyone to reply to years old discussion haha. Well hopefully anyone who is reading this will maybe find it useful? Thanks.
