[Fixed Issue] Charisma Bobblehead and Rehiring Companion Issues
As the title suggests, I have been having issues with the TTW version of the Charisma Bobblehead.
It seems to work for the initial hiring of companions such as Clover, Jericho, or Sargeant RL, but whenever I attempt to rehire a companion they give me the dialog for having Good Karma despite me having the bobblehead in my inventory. That leads me to ask, is the bobblehead only supposed to work on the initial hiring of a companion and this I must possess the correct karma for rehiring, or have I encountered a bug and if so what solutions can I pursue? I have tested this with Jericho and RL specifically, am running the most recent version of TTW, and double checked my load order to make sure everything was in the correct order. If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them as I want to use those two companions regardless of my karma. And thank you.

I've tested this numerous times without issue.

Err, something that might matter is that I started my game in Hardcore Mode which might have an effect on the Rehiring code, but it doesn't sound like it should. I also set up a save in which I dismiss Jericho in Moriarty's and try to rehire him, but he keeps telling me to pick up bad habits indicating my Karma is too high.

The bobblehead works for both hiring and rehiring FO3 followers.
My guess is that a mod or something else is reverting or changing the rehiring options.

Sounds like that may be the issue, although I do not have any mods other than TTW and a small workaround so fallout detects a different graphics card because I am making do with an Intel, it doesn't even go onto my load order and has no code that should affect the actual gameplay. I can just make do with console commands and manually changing my karma every time I want to hire the companion, but I would still like to figure out the cause of the issue. Thanks for the response and the guess.

You have to download 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 separately. They are listed in the download page where you downloaded the TTW installer.
You also have to install both patches in order.
