Stuck conversation during 'How to HQ'

Hi,
I'm currently stuck at a point where I have to meet with the staff but when I try to start the conversation with Lupe she just says her line and doesn't engage and progress the conversation. I tried doing the previous steps again two times already but got this problem every time. I also tried talking to the other staff members but they don't advance any conversations either.
I have verified load order is correct, restarted the game and re-entered the HQ multiple times.
If anyone could provide me with a fix it would be greatly appreciated.

Same thing. She just repeats herself while she wanders around the building. Restarted from the beginning of the mod and still gets hung up at this point.

I know this is not really helpful, but yeah same here. Also Experimented with the SetStage command but the further stages of the quest stay bugged so thats no solution

I had similar issues with the CPD and Nightingales. I tried doing their quests before the battle at the plaza but couldn't get further after certain points. However, now when I reached the problem this thread is about, I chose to check in with the CPD and managed to continue with their quests.
Not a confirmed solution but might be on the right track, give the quest some time while getting some progress elsewhere. I'll come back with an update.

I didn't think of that. I got trapped in CPD during the book quest. I'll have to jump back over to them and see if it'll allow me to progress.

Just to add a 'me too' to this on the How to HQ Meet with staff part not doing anything but repetitive Lupe.
Am also having a problem with the not being able to talk to any Nightingales, CPD quest stuck at 'help cpd staff' (but I've completed their sub quests), no one in Concord other than the Pastor (no notes on the board, no sermons etc). Fairly minimal mod load (all SS2 related recommends, plus some plot packs). Weirdest thing I've done is that the save I started Chapter 2 with was one I'd played C1 on Survival, but I don't have time right now for Survival shenanigans, so switched down to 'very hard' to make it all simpler. Since installing C2 I completed Reunions in the main game quest line, but then the brotherhood of steel follow up quest didn't trigger either.
Oh, and yeah, I have the really long save time bug as well.
Finally, at the C2 quests seem to trigger instantly with no delay between them. Which is fine from a perspective of running through the content, but I'm guessing that's not the intended pace.
Oh, and while people are getting sick in some settlements, I have a space on the settlement hub for the Cleanliness bar, but it's completely blank, but cleanliness shows up as a value in some plots (like cemetary), the sick icon appears in the sick looking settlers, and none of my clinics are selling disease cures. I originally assumed I needed to progress the nightingale quests to get that working, but as mentioned above, none of the nightingales will respond to being talked to.

I just played up to this quest and the conversation is completing as expected. Could some of you send me your save files where this is occurring so I can investigate?

I've been having this issue too. Alongside similar issues with other NPC's, listed below
1. Lupe at HQ (Per this threads purpose)
2. CPD duo after asking them to help take GNN
3. Pastor in Concord after he asks me to attend his service at 9pm
4. Preston after asking for his help to take GNN.
5. The Angry red head whose name escapes me after setting him to work security in HQ, he will stand in place in the entrance way and just say a line then stare into nothingness.

The bugs aren't related (to my knowledge) but they are similar. The NPC will repeat the same line, but do nothing else. Either wander around, sit and never move or simply remain still as if the AI has become frozen, similar to how they behave if you use the TAI command.

I noticed nr 2 as well but has so far considered it to be that they don't have more quest for now (have completed butcher quest).
Haven't checked the others.

Update.
No luck, completed the CPD quests but no progress with neither Cassandra or Lupe. Personally, I've given up and will use the holotape to skip to the next main quest. It's just a tutorial anyway, so I'll just check with quest's page on the wiki and wrap things up accordingly.

Wouldn't recommend skipping as the issue causing this is pretty serious and if you skip, the patch will not correct your save.

Thanks for the fix - will give it a test asap. Was just rummaging through my saves - glad someone sent one through. For future reference how/where would I submit saves?

You can upload them to google drive or something similar and DM me a share.
