Preston, Marcy Jun and Mama Murphy went back to the museum...

[captxunderpants]

They were in Sanctuary for a long time (I didn't just start, I've been playing for months, currently at level 96) and now they're back sitting in the lobby of the Museum of Freedom. They only have conversations as though they're residents. Jun/Marcy, I can just look at inventory, Mama Murphy wants her chair, Preston has basic companion choices.
if I go to Sanctuary and use moveto player, they'll come back, and immediately start walking back to the museum.
I have zero add-ons installed, and the only quest I ever touched via console was the one to "close" the drinking buddy quest after I decided to keep him.

Any ideas how to get them back to Sanctuary?
Honestly, it's nice that marcy and preston are gone, jun who cares - but I did want to finish Mama Murphy's visions

I normally have to kill those downer deadbeats to get them out of my settlement so you are truly blessed. You should be able to use console to start and complete Murphys quests. https://steamcommunity.com/app/377160/discussions/0/494631873668904315/

Maybe move them all to you then save and add a mod that changes the museum. If its altered maybe they wont try to go to it. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/25790
Sometimes moving them to you then using conosole command disable, then enable, will debug an npc.

I see that as an absolute win.

I love all your answers, lol. It's how I feel too.
Thanks for the link to the Murphy quest and tip to disable/enable.

Did you happen to talk to Trashcan Carla?

There is something that happened to me which made one of my games super broke. I had already gone through much of the main quest, maybe even all of it, before exploring all of her dialog. So a long-time played game file, then I hit the dialog option which she gives that STARTS YOU TOWARD DIAMOND CITY.

This breaks everything. I'd already found Nick. Couldn't initiate the Nakano story because it kept trying to send me to the fens sewer to rescue him.

so... it's possible that something like this happened. Since you say you don't have any mods - do you mean ACTUALLY *no mods*, or "some stuff from the in-game menu from bethesda" and *no* mods from nexus?

I know the conversation option you mean, but I can't say when or if I took it on this playthrough.
The only mod I have in Creation club, though it's not downloaded or installed is the Skyrim helm and sword that was probably some kind of free thing at some point, who knows when.

I haven't taken Nick as a companion at all, though I did take his case of Nakano, went there, went to Far Harbor.
