New Plots on the block stalled after building municipal

[xenoterracide]

ghur, I have done this in another playthrough just fine... I wonder if it's because I started let sleeping dogs lie (talking to old...what's his name) while I was waiting for jake to build (or because I started building more municipal plots at the same time. robco finished it's spiel about the benefit of municipals.. but then the conversation with jake isn't proceeding, and the quest isn't getting marked as done. Talking to him isn't helping. HALP! 3.1.1a

I think you have to wait, as the quest says, while Jake builds and until its done. I figure the game is running scripts or something in the background and that can be why it takes a few minutes. I wouldn't leave and start any other quests while that one is running. My first playthrough, I was very impatient with waiting for Jake and the building and finally realized I was causing myself issues by not just waiting patiently.

yeah, but how can I fix now that I've done it... trust me I've done plenty of waiting now... and they are (somewhat) following me around like they've got something to say, even to red rocket. don't say load a save, don't have one. There must be a way to console trigger, and get them to the next state they're supposed to be.

Sometimes running over the plot with Jake in tow can get him to get building. Not sure if that trick will work if you fast travelled away and back again though.
I would just use the City Manager Holotape and use Tools > Cheats > Quest Skipping and skip to the next Main Story quest.

oh that just skips to the next? he already built so... it's the talking after that hasn't happened

It just skips to from the quest you are on to the next main story quest. New Plots on the Block is a tutorial quest for buliding the new plot types. You're just going to miss the "explainations" about the plots if you skip.
Best option if you can't return to a previous save file.

I've done them before, for some reason I just wanted the xp . Thanks, that worked. I was kind of afraid to tap that button, well, to get into the sub menu I guess.

The quest skipping cheats give you the experience too

I meant the "getting him to show me" or would I have gotten the XP if I had told him "I got it" or whatever, and didn't need showing.

Ive had luck in fixing Jake before by breaking down whatever instances of the plot he is asking me to work on. I reguarly build a city plan before Jake and it can be confused. If this works you should know right away or have to relog. Jake should start demanding you put down the plot anywhere when you talk to him again

 

[xenoterracide]

yeah, I've had that before, which is why I'd like more restrictive options by default as having access to all the toys breaks quests.
