[2.0.6a] New arrivals seem to prefer the provisioner's house

Not yet sure if I'm really seeing a bug, but I *seem* have this consistent behavior:

- Settler is assigned to a house plot, but has no job
- House plot is complete, meter's full, etc.
- I make them a provisioner and off they go
- There are other, vacant house plots with "for rent" signs in the settlement
- The next settler that shows up tries to claim the provisioner house - when i mouseover them, the prov's house lights up - none of the vacant plots develop, and the meters think there aren't enough beds (which is correct, going just by bed count)
- Assigning that new arrival manually to a vacant lot works as expected and then everything progresses as it should

Is this is known issue? Could it be something I'm causing myself with a conflict, pack, other mod or whatnot? It seems like the provisioner's house is being seen as a legitimate vacant plot to claim, and it actually works to a point - except of course then we're short a bed. The mod doesn't consider the new arrival homeless, so they don't stand out that way - the only gotcha with the "shared" plot is the bed count being off.
 
Do you happen to use NMM? This sounds like your BA2 file wasn't correctly updated. You may have to do a manual install.
 
I do, and do you mean the main mod's ba2? I'll manually re-install the main and IR to be safe.

Really looking forward to this mythical new mod manager in the works...
 
Yeah, the main mod. All of the scripts are kept there and the behavior you're describing sounds like something I fixed, so my money's on an out of date script.
