Primary Bug Report Vim and Vigor - Quest fails to update after start and Kaitlin is non-interactable

I started the Vim and Vigor Quest and went into vault 81 but when I entered there was no quest marker anywhere. I went around and talked to every NPC and nothing happened. I've seen people mention Katlin Paris in other vim and vigor threads so I talked to her. all she ever says is "Hello there", "Well hello", or "Hi'ya". Am I missing something or is this a bug.
 
as you enter the vault and right after you talk with the overseer there's a new npc that will talk with you! you might have missed him and headed down to the vault! He will still be up there i guess waiting for you
 
I've been loving the level of detail and story around Sim Settlements 2, but I wanted to put this out there as I've noticed a few people reporting similar issues on some items/quests and I wasn't sure how much of this is a bug, a mod conflict or a Xbox One specific issue (as we all know the systems aren't as mod friendly as PC).

Has anyone else experienced the following:
  • During "The Rons" radiant quest you go to the location find an item called "Holotape Name", and then while the marker in your pip-boy turns to you, you can't actually do anything or hand it in?
  • During the first quest given by "Old Paul" to place enough Residential, Agricultural and Industrial Plots, does anyone else find that even after placing and assigning more than the number states (say 8) that the quest only recognises 4/5 of them and keeps from moving on, even if you make sure everything is assigned?
  • When you get "Vim and Vigour" (I noticed a few PC users mentioning this), when you get to Vault 81, whether you've been there before or you haven't, Cedric and Kaitlyn (the two new NPCs) are stuck in just "Hello" and "Can I help you" mode with no further dialogue or way to advance?
  • Has anyone been able to use the ASAM's at other settlements than Sanctuary (so like Red Rocket, Abernathy or Tenpines Bluff), but when following the Minutemen quest line and sent to claim Starlight Drive in, even after dealing with all the Mole Rats and the site being marked as "Cleared" on the map, the workshop won't respond and you're locked out? I don't know if other vacant workshops are effected, I just notice this with Starlight.
  • After you complete the Vault-Tec HQ quest with Jake and he say's he needs some time to get everything to the workshop, are you finding you never see or hear from him again (this may be linked to the issue noted above with "Vim and Vigour" if so I apologise?
I know I've listed a few but these are the ones that I'm trying to work out if it's something about the Xbox One version of Fallout or a Mod Conflict (I only have a few other mods installed, mostly firearms and clothing, to save space).

I can appreciate from the daily patch notes that the Xbox is giving the mods a bit of a hard time finding/fixing things.

Either way it seems like a major upgrade to the original SS and a great reason to start a new play through, so sorry if I seem too picky.
 
You need to have the Robco Schematics that Ron gave you in your inventory when you talk to Mansfield for the quest to continue. I accidentally dumped mine at Sanctuary and had to go back and get it.
 
I seem to also be having the same issue. The quest text is a bit vague, so maybe I'm doing something wrong. I went from Diamond city to 88, and confirmed I have the schematics in my inventory, but I'm not seeing any text from the Overseer or anyone else I can find that would be relevant. Maybe I'm not finding the correct person?
 
Disregard previous post, I didn't notice Mansfield in the entrance, was circling around the vault proper. Maybe some more description in the quest? That was a crazy search.
I also found a lot of confusion with the way things were described in the objectives and where some of the markers were placed throughout that quest.
 
After I go into the vault and talk to the guy for the quest (already have done the vault 81 quests) the marker stays on him and does not move to the other characters in the vault that I need to help, I tried folowing a youtube playtrough but for some reason the quest just does not want to continue for me.

Can provide screenshots if needed.
 
No she is in a repative Hi There loop cant turn in quest, very annoying have tried rolling back saves and altering display settings as well as dismissing companion any news on this playing on PC not had this issue before.
I'm having this issue also. I've completed her task and can't get her to respond in order to advance the quest.
 
I'm having this issue also. I've completed her task and can't get her to respond in order to advance the quest.
Same here, I've completed her quest and are unable to turn in the quest. She only says stuff like "hello" and other greetings. Also I'm playing on Xbox one.

Hey I found out that if you already completed the quest 'Hole in the wall' (quest to find cure in vault 81) kaitlin will bug out (unable to turn in the water problem quest) so load your save before completing the 'hole in the wall quest' and finish Kaitlin quest first.
