FIXED I can't use the sanctuary workshop

[Count Smashula]

FIXED: It seemed like the mod "welcome to goodneighbor" caused this. Un-installing it and starting a new game fixed it for me.

After the last update, I came back from vacation and decided I wanted to do a new playthrough as a minuteman general. I load up the game, get to sanctuary and activate the workshop. Instead of getting the workshop menu, I instead get the message "You need to clear enemies from the location".

I talk to codsworth and I kill the bloatflies and rad-roaches in sanctuary, stil nothing.
I go to concord and help preston&co to sanctuary, stil nothing.
I get the quest from sturges to help re-build, stil nothing.

So, whats up? I use LOOT to fix my load order and there are no issues according to it...
I went to red-rocket and the workshop works fine there.

Ok it's either "Welcome to goodneigbour" Or "Unofficial patch"
I unistalled them both and made a new character and i was able to use the workbench

Must be "welcome to goodneighbor", had the patch for weeks without issue, will try and un-install it and see if that fixes mine.

Same problem for me, do i have to restart my whole game without welcome to goodneighbour?

There are some radroaches in the buildings closest to the bridge. They are easy to miss, and not part of the quest with codsworth. Though the mods may have removed them for who knows why.

[FlimFlamMan]

Ok I will check but I thought I got those lol brb.

[FlimFlamMan]

Ya I already killed them, I will have to wait for the looksmenu mod to save my character face took a while on it. Thanks for the reply.

You gotta complete the quest in Concord and then bring the guys up to Sanctuary.

[Count Smashula]

Nope, its definitely welcome to goodneighbor. Unfortunately, I had already played for some time and even after un-installing WTG, it was stil locked (but it works on other saves).

[FlimFlamMan]

Ok thanks will get rid off and start over once looksmenu is updated.

I actually remember setting up camp with the workshop prior to going to concord while playing through on survival, so it may be something to do with modifications to sanctuary interfereing or conflicting with the base game.

Use the Command "SetPapyrusVar OwnedByPlayer 1" on the workbench, fixed it for me.

Fantastic, worked perfectly for me.

Edit:

Wait uh. So you can "Search" the workbench to make the power to complete the quest, but the workbench is generally broken in other regards. You can't transfer items to or from it and you can't hold down V to activate it while in Sanctuary. Hm.

Edit2:

It eventually started working. Neat!
