Can't take any companions

Post by **Dangerwank** » Tue Jun 04, 2013 4:15 am

This all started after the Stealing Independence quest with whatsherface (I'm blanking her name right now).

And before you ask, I checked up and down the Bug Tracker and found several VERY similar things wrong, but none of the fixes provided worked. I tried killing her via console, via normal ingame means. I tried disabling/enabling her. I even downloaded a fix from one thread that cuts off her "follower" status. None of it worked. I even tried the companion dismissal terminal in New Vegas at Gun Runner's.

The problem: I can't take on any companions (Except robots like ED-E and Rex). They all say something along the lines of "Well I don't think your current companion will like it very much" etc, etc.

Any help is appreciated.

Mod Load Order as follows:

FalloutNV

DeadMoney

HonestHearts

OldWorldBlues

LonesomeRoad

GunRunnersArsenal

CaravanPack

MercenaryPack

TribalPack

Fallout3

Anchorage

ThePitt

BrokenSteel

PointLookout

Zeta

TaleOfTwoWasteland

ttwsydneyfix (Aha that's her name)

ttw2oachasefixcorrected

TTW_Bobbleheads

TTW_MoreCookingItems

TTW_StashPackOptions

TTW_Companions_Essential

Another thing, I tried messing wtih the Sydney fix load order but to no avail.

Edit: Also, she is currently at Underworld and DOES NOT follow me. She did for a bit until I downloaded the fix. But I still can't take on companions.

Let me get this straight.

After you fire Sydney, you still aren't able to hire another companion, save for the robot ones?

Correct. She went off to do her business in Underworld. But neither Charon nor Fawkes will let me hire them. but I can have ED-E with me.

Edit: Was able to have Fawkes with me a time before taking the quest with Sydney

Edit 2: Also, before it gets asked. I have dismissed ED-E and tried to hire then as well.

I'm gonna need you to answer all these questions for me.

Did you convert the mod to work with ttw?

Have you tried disabling the mod, creating a clean save, then enabling the mod?

Have you tried using a multiple companion mod? (I do. I love my companions.)

Have you asked the mod author, or searched the comments on the mod, if others were having trouble rehiring other companions?

Oh it wasn't using the Sydney Companion mod. Everything I posted in Load Order is correct. It was for the Stealing Independence quest where she becomes your companion momentarily.

And I am not using a multiple companion mod. I tried that but it crashed my game on load.

this is a know issue and should (hopefully) be fixed in the next update.

there is a thread somewhere about sydny stalking the player.

And if that ttwsydneyfix I see there on the loading order is the one I think it is, than that was made for TTW 1.4, it will not be compatible with TTW 2.2 I made a post somewhere in the Sydney is Stalking bug report how to get rid of her using console commands .
