"On Patrol" Adventure permanently bugged?!
So, I have done my research, poured hours on this quest.....and I think I finally broke. This quest is unsolvable.....please....please prove me wrong. I have read what I believe to be all the limited forums on this quest, but everyone litters them. So please keep this one on topic. WARNING Spoilers ahead

So at first I got confused and went straight down the tomb, figured out there are steps that allow the remains to spawn in the hole so I did some research on the exact steps to be taken.

Egyptian exhibit (walk into sarcophagi room)> Report in
Chinese exhibit (auto triggers*explained below*/no idea) > Report in
Strange sounds (auto triggers/assuming this is where to explore tomb)
Put remains in cemetery

First I couldn't get the state change "report in" on the Egyptian Exhibit to pop (literally hours of research). Finally solved that by copying the lot from edit town from another save and replacing the one in my world.....The state changed!!!

Some thing funny happened though. When I reported in, the quest kept progressing on its own. The second "report in" (investigate Chinese Exhibit) popped instantly. When I progress, the mission progresses to the cemetery....without the remains. So I progress only once this time up to the Chinese part thinking I have to find the remains before reporting in, but the hole still is empty.

After this troubleshooting, it seemed that, if the remains where to spawn during a specific quest state it would be during "investigate strange noises", between investigate Chinese Exhibit and Cemetery. However, the mission keeps skipping that step and auto progresses. Checked at every other stage and remains do not spawn.

First, can I get a confirmation that the remains are supposed to spawn in the hole in front of the tombstone. And more importantly any ideas as to what I am missing, what is causing this and what solutions are there. I will leave the museum untouched again so I'll be able to restart quest.

Thanks in advance for all the help

Yes, the remains will spawn in the hole in front of the tombstone.

I'll have to think about the rest for a while, since I haven't played the game in some months, and my memory needs some jogging.

Ok so, after all that trouble I cancelled it and returned home. After a few weeks I returned,got the adventure anew and completed it.

I noticed that there are a crud ton of bugged adventures. Just gotta let the game work itself out i guess. I happened to have disturbed the tomb before i got the quest, probably that was what triggered this whole shabam.
