This may or may not have to do with sim settlements conqueror, though it seems to have arrived concurrently.
Im using a mod called npc spawner- dangerzone, and have been for a while. I use a handful of other mods to spawn npcs on the fly like dangerzone does, and lately they wont spawn or apparently sandbox on anything I build in the workshop, but rather below or over and adjacent on the "vanilla bottom." NPCs still sandbox otherwise, pumping water, working, hammering, pumping water, occupying ground level defense posts, and pumping water, but no stairs, no manning the walls and towers, no interacting with the 10 or so stories I want to build above them at all. The only npc placement I can successfully place on built floors utilizes a "place-from workshop" m.o. and even that prevents them from moving around and gets them "bucked off" afterwards.
So it seems to be a sandboxing/navmesh issue. Ive been perusing around trying to learn more about how navmeshing and sandoxing works and what all ive done to this game.Here's some of what I tried:
Reloading, reinstalling, and restarting. All mods mentioned along with the whole sim/Wframework shebang, as well as new games, off of the idea I broke the initial loading of sim or conqueror. during the beginning load of plots and settlements and stuff. Had it at one point but updated sim everything and lost it.
Let it loooad. Although I do have a theory using dangerzone to spawn before conqueror load completion being the reason and kinda thought "it'd be fine" near the very end on a few, off of the advice that this process needs some patience, Ive been staying still in game, loading cells near concord before proceeding, and generally waiting as much as I can. This process has been difficult with sim updates as additional variables and finally by the fact that new saves to the finish screen is a slow, slow process. Ive only had time to do a handful of tries and had no lasting luck.
Updating. Hoped in vain each update would just incidentally fix the problem. Got rid of some freezing, some ctds came and went on a few loads, no luck. Have not had time for most recent update, here to hoping someone can tell me that will fix it.
Yet more mods. Never my brightest idea, Ive hoped new saves with a sandboxing mod called more npc sandboxing expansion and its requisites, would help. Another mod with invisible mats to manually create navmesh paths went in as well. No luck whatsoever or change.
So Im assuming Ive broken the navmesh system in some way, in a manner worryingly similar feeling to common fo4 settlement bugs. All npcs still fight, follow, and go about all other business in settlements and elsewhere. While Im waiting through my next attempt, Im looking for any advice whatsoever on what seems to be the culprit, or on navmeshing in general and how conqueror affects these systems. Any guidance would be appreciated and let me know what else info you could use. Thanks!
ps. also currently missing option to remover abernathy from original conqueror settlement list at start up. But it didnt work when none of the triangle of death settlements were unbuilt either.
