Resolved Pipboy found, then not found? SS doesn't make it to the Settlement Menu

[CowbellRock]

I've used Sim Settlements with great success in the past, no issues at all. I haven't played since the Creation Club update and decided to update all my mods and make a new character to replay the game. I went to the location of the City Manager Holotape and shoved it into my Pipboy and saw this:

When you click 'OK' the Pipboy changes to this screen:

And I never get a popup that tells me I can now use Sim Settlement plots like in the quick start video. If I go back to Sanctuary and open the Settlement Menu, the SS plots don't even appear.

I've tried uninstalling, and reinstalling each version of the mod (in-game FO4 mods, NMM, and manual install) with clean saves to no avail. I do use LOOT to manage my load order. The two posts on this forum with the same issue as me both found a fix that isn't applicable to me for one reason or another. (specific mods interfering with SS that I don't even have, or one guy mentioned he was in survival mode)

Any idea(s) as to what could be the source of my problem?

Cheers,

Here is a copy of my clean save without Sim Settlements installed: https://mega.nz/#!JDoXAKzR!MzgslE1nlPCVnex6xFSkYe6PAFxjwpEvAQKIiyfK9MQ

Can you try running it from your inventory? Sometimes using the Play option directly from the world prevents it from loading correctly.

I have tried this already. No luck. Also tried picking it up, restarting the game then using it, same story.

 

[kinggath]

Can you try loading without Sim Settlements, make a save outside of the museum, then reinstall the mod, load that save and see if that resolves it?

 

[CowbellRock]

Same issue. The holotape is there on the desk but I never get that popup window when I use it.

 

[kinggath]

You've done a manual install, so the only other thing to try is loading with no other mods.

 

[CowbellRock]

Okay, so if Sim Settlements is the only active plugin, it works no problem. Something is obviously conflicting with it. I will activate each of my mods individually to find out which one it is. Thanks.

 

[CowbellRock]

Hud Framework is the culprit. I have the latest version and have reinstalled it just to be sure, but it won't let me run the Holotape if Hud Framework is enabled.

 

[kinggath]

Oh bummer, I thought I had that worked out. After you get the tape to run, you can re-enable HUDFramework.

 

[CowbellRock]

After re-enabling HUDFramework, everything works fine. It's like it needs to be enabled after using the Holotape. Thanks for all the help!
