Primary Bug Report If I Had a Hammer - Quest fails to update after completing quest objectives

[ACExtravaganza]

If I had a hammer has its first two component parts completed, but I didn't receive another stage and the quest didn't complete. There is a bug, but is it that the quest should have finished or is it that a new stage should have started?

Same here, Version E.

Some console commands to help fix all of the JANK would be fantastic. I've spent 12 hours just trying to get back to this quest from scratch after version E and it is still stuck.

You mean from "Stranger"? Or are they somewhere later in the quest, because I'm stuck again. Old Paul just keeps saying "Raiders. Hurry" But I'm in the settlement and nothing is happening. I'm going to try fast traveling back to concord and walking back to Sanctuary.

Try this:
1.Open the console and get the reference id of Old Paul.
2.Go to concord, just outside of where the stranger is.
3.open the console and type in the reference id of Old Paul, followed by ".moveto player" (note theres a point before moveto)
4. Click enter and this should move Old Paul to your location.
5. Talk to him, and the stranger should continue the dialog after he says "Raiders...Hurry"

This worked for me, I hope it helps you too.

There should be another quest in your pipboy to build some plots "IND and AG"
after a bit - 2 other settlers will show up
Once you get to the right number of plots one of the new settlers will get pissed with her ASAM as she will want to build a shop.
You will hear Old Paul and Lilly in a "spat" about it.
That will kick off you going back to Concord.

Yes but once you got to concord and finish the convo it says find out what’s wrong with old Paul he says RAIDERS HURRY then nothing just repeatedly says that and you cannot progress

I have a repeating loop issue with If I had a Hammer. I have completed the quest and received XP for it going on 4 times now. I then go talk to Jake, I have done the next quest line and even gone to the building in Boston with the underground ASAM printer assembly..I come back to Sanctuary and Lily and Paul are arguing and she is kicking the asam again.. I have left sanctuary and slept in Vault 95 for a couple of days but no change. I come back and here we go again lol. I have the most recent version of SIM Settlements (1.0.10). Any suggestions appreciated.

So I am having the same problem but I didn't know that it was a bug until it was too late. Is there anyway to fix this problem? I finished talking to the Stranger in the Concord Hardware and Old Paul didn't show up to interrupt the conversation like in the video at all. Now I can't talk to the stranger and Old Paul is in Sanctuary, always saying "Raiders, hurry" when I try to talk to him. Should I use the setstage command to advance the quest?
