SS2 killed my source of Fiber Optics [Spoilers]

[JMO]

OK for a while now whenever I needed fiber optics I went to the place where you can pick up an infinite supply (*cough* JP *cough*) and got them. But now when I go there and hit the button, they do not appear.

Am I correct in assuming SS2 broke this and there's no way to fix it?

[Zekiran]

If you mean Jamaica Plain's underground area, it should be re-triggerable. So yes, if that's the mod you put in and no others affect that area at all, AND no other mods affect traps, it's probably Yet Another Bug in that very very buggy mod.

[JMO]

Yeah it has been retriggerable up until now. I've mined so much fiber out of that area. Now I guess I'll have to go elsewhere.

Agreed its buggy but it's go so much good stuff I can live with it

[JMO]

In fairness, being able to repeatedly "mine" fiber optics down there was arguably a bug in and of it self. So maybe SS2 "fixed" it.

It's just that I really liked that bug.

and what exactly has SS2 to do in the Townshall Basement?
have you tried to farm the less effective tripwire source? aka switchboard

[JMO]

It has nothing to do with the TownHall basement. That' doesn't mean it could not have broken something. Which tripwire source are you referring to?

[eMYNOCK]

Switchboard, literally. (the Donut Shop Deacon drags us into in Tradecraft)

there are two tipwires that can be enabled and disabled by terminal from the commandcenter when comming from the sewers.

i stopped using sim settlements a long time ago. only good additions with that mod are random visitors to your settlement, and the ambiance

[JMO]

Yeah. Now its causing a crash every time I fast travel to Sanctuary. Probably time to start a new game without it.

[eMYNOCK]

Sounds like a corrupt powergrid...

Just how old is your SS2 and Framrework version?

Did you also simultaneously build up Abernathy and Red Rocket? That right there could cause scripting overload. SS specifically warns you to not build up all three. In my experience Sim Settlements 2 is pretty stable but doesn't play well with many other things.

[JMO]

SS2 and Framework are the latest. I just added them a couple of weeks ago. But I think Duke Flapjack has iti right. After the umpteenth crash I went to Sanctuary and tore down a whole bunch of stuff, reset the settlement limits to defaults (I think I had increased them by 25%). That fixed the problem. I'll probably trim down Abernathy as well

[eMYNOCK]

geez... don't tell me you've applied anything but a stock ss2 cityplan to those 3... the triangle can handle the stock cityplans without problems.. but bigger plans tend to cause overbuilding... and crashes.

I don´t ave that mod installed and it doesn't let me reactivate the lasers. I think they corrected it in one of the latest versions. It has drive me crazy why it doens't work but none of my mods should affect the way triplassers work

I just did a vanilla run-through of the game with no mods but with all the "Next Gen" updates from Bethesda and the laser trick still worked. So Bethesda didn't fix it.

Do you have the unofficial patch? I also had that installed when it stopped working so maybe that fixed it.
