vault 88 overseer not spawning?

[Silver]

After at least 4 months of trying to fix it myself to no avail, i'm posting here in hopes someone can help me fix it

I go through "Better Living Underground" like normal until i clear the rubble to atrium, where the quest marker to talk to barstow is just floating over a crate about two~three tiles in front of the entrance. The workbench says there is 1 settler (being barstow) but she's completely invisible and i cannot talk to her to further the quest. I do not have a clue what is causing this as i don't have sim settlement or any other settlement mod active, nor to i have anything to do with vault 88.

You might want to open your console and type in

sqt

that's show quest targets, and look to see if you have DLC06MQ02

If you do (and you should), type

getstage DLC06MQ02


Thats dlc 6 (vault 88) main quest - 02 is Better Living, and talking with Barstow is stage 500. If your stage comes back something other than that, or under it,

setstage DLC06MQ02 500 should at least ping the next stage and completion.

You might also try bringing her to you, her ref id will depend on the load order of your dlc but should generally be

060042B5.moveto player

(with only the beginning 06 in question, but normally that's what the dlc slot is for this character's id)

try one or both of those and hopefully it'll work, if someone knows a better way / different command (I rarely use the move to feature and might not have it formatted correctly) hopefully they will speak up.

Were you told to clear out the Large Water Pump and hook it up to electricity ? I remember that being part of the quests, one or another.

Otherwise, npcs teleport into the area, just like you, maybe got into a wall or something. Go back and forth out of the area for a while.

i have set the stage to 600 before to complete the quest, however even when I refid move her to me it just moves the quest marker, its like something deleted her mesh/model

have you tried to disable / enable her?
sometimes NPCs that are clearly present are not properly initialized and stuck in the "disabled" state.

She's all the way down sitting on a chair in an open cave with ghouls, next to a work trailer, well beyond the opening. If you're not in a cavern with train tracks and boxcars, you haven't gone far enough yet.
