Is "Stodge" a unique NPC exempt from assignment?

I keep trying to assign him as a guard to an interior martial plot (security office), the UI shows that he is assigned, shows the guard logo but I never see him there. He just wanders around and working at other farm plots etc.

I do have more than enough food, so I wouldn't think it's a priority thing.

For the record I first chose him as a leader for my settlement when we first met but then I made sure I dismissed him before assigning anywhere else...

It's important to note that there's a difference between what the MECHANICS know a settler as doing (hence the Guard Icon and probably the appropriate Defense stat bonus to your settlement) and what they're animated as doing. The systems only care about the numbers from their assignment/s, which is why your Food Production doesn't go down when everyone goes to bed, etc. If he's got his assignment, the HUD values SHOULD work out correct.
ALL of the "unique settlers" in the mod seem to refuse to actually animate as going to work for me though, except for Lily - which is "great", since she's reliably having the "vendor with no inventory except for a couple of bullets" bug for me, so she might as well not be there working at her little Bar anyway.

Thank you for the response...

Yes Lily works for me too, would have been silly if she kept complaining about it and was never there.
I see Hubert at the recreational plot too, Theresa also works etc...as well as other minor "named" npcs
But yeah I think there's a problem with Old Paul and Stodge, that's why I asked if they were unique-unique...

It isn't just Old Paul and Stodge 90% of the named and even normal settlers don't work their plots for me since I started using ss2. Once in a while they will be at their shops. I started using A mod to give them actual schedules so they will be there when I want them there. At least for the ones I can open there trade menu anyway. ALL unique ss2 NPC's should be able to trade with yet most you can't.

Yeah, Old Paul, the Powells, and Knox+Audra don't actually ever go to their jobs for me. It SEEMS like the other ones (the random-spawns THE RON can hook you up with) do?

What mod is that for scheduling?
