Taffington Boathouse Quest Issue

[PsychoBunny]

So Preston sent me here along with another quest. I don't know why he is giving me two now..ugh. So I went to Taffington, cleared it and set everything up and brought in peeps to live there. Went back to Preston and closed out the quest. Now for some reason the quest just pops up on the screen "Clearing Out Taffington Boathouse", says I cleared it and I talked to Preston but the quest is sitting in my uncompleted quests now. It says I have to tell Preston they will NOT be joining the MinuteMen. WTH is going on? It won't let me talk to him about it even though I did complete it AND talked to him about it. :(

I am moving around discovering some places on my own to keep my supply line moving but I don't see how that caused any issues with an already completed quest.

they refused to join the minutemen? how dare..

why dont you let some accidents happen in that settlement.. some unfortunate ones..

that happens all the time in my settlements, that's how we work.. lol

Preston sent me there to take out some critters and I did. I could then use the workbench. Set up a beacon and brought in peeps. Not sure why it said I was running out of time to complete as I already did AND checked in with Preston to clear it out. Ugh.....

so minutemen quest failed and those people tookover the place, just kill them.

talk to PRESTON about complete . before adding souls

THEN go back and add people if that what you want

Did you clear the sewers?

That sounds like a mod issue. There's never been a settlement that has 'refused' to join, in my experience(s).

The quest is to clear out and set up a beacon. The second you power up the beacon, the quest updates to talk to Preston.

EDIT:
In fact... you don't even need to have beds, food and water set up in those quests. Power up the beacon, turn it off real quick and/or store it away. A settler or two may show up, anyway but you can send them somewhere else.

Leaving the place empty. ...forever.

Got MODS ?

I don't use any mods. I told Preston we are not ready to take the Castle, turned in a quest and he gave me Taffington. I went there, killed the critters, cleaned up the area and set up a beacon. Traveled back to Preston and turned in the quest. When it failed yesterday I checked my completed quests and it was listed in the quest as completed AND in my current quests as open to tell Preston they would not join. I tried to turn it in but Preston just asked about the Castle and tried to give me another quest. Nothing I did would allow the "failed" quest to complete.

Could it be possible since this quest was given to me at the same time he wanted to take the Castle the game is confused and it is in fact the Castle quest trying to fail? I haven't been there yet. I try to set up my routes in a nice, neat order and wasn't ready for the Castle just yet.

Try this mod

It fixes all quests given by Preston Garvey. Also, Marcie Long doesn't sass SS anymore. Works great.
