Character IDs

Messages

Anyone know how to pull up character IDs for people like Old Paul without <<< (KEY WORD: WITHOUT) clicking on the object/NPC in console? Or a list of all characters IDs?

Searched everywhere can't find an ID list for said characters, not even on the wiki. Need him for Who can? ASAM! Quest
 
If you can use the console at all then does 'save funclist 1' work?
In skyrim it loads and displays a text file with a searchable (ctrl-f) list of loaded objects, npcs will have two entries, the base and the ref id, the latter is usually the second entry

I might, but im not very good when it comes to it, so with stuff im unsure about, I just leave alone
All you have to do is open up the editor and select what mods you want to load in. Then on the left there will be a list. Just click on the one that says Sim Settlements 2, and there should be a list for NPCs. Click on that and you'll have a list of NPCs with their IDs.

That seems to be doing something, but I’m guessing with the amount of mods I’ve got loaded that might take a while to dump. Interesting…

Side note, since I had the Old Paul code I couldn’t help but spawn one. I present to you:

SPACE PAUL! Interesting note, Cola seems to just be wherever he’s at by default. This is a duplicated version of him I spawned in.

you have no idea how much you have indirectly helped me by talking about this console command, this notepad file is more powerful than any weapon I could ever find laying among the wasteland.... it also let me be able to speak to ellis after like 4 hours
 
You can also use 'help' in the console. help {NPCName} 4 npc_ Then prid {RefID} to "select" the npc in the console.

In this case it would be help "old paul" 4 npc_ which will bring up a list of references named Old Paul.

I am having some trouble with Camp Patrol Duties quest(Simon is not there), and was hoping I could just move him to me. When I use this command here, it brings up 2 codes (0E0046FA) and (0E02faeb) which I assumed would be the RefID and FormID, but neither of them work with the moveto command. I tried both with and without the "0E" at the beginning and both give me the item not found for parameter ObjectReferenceID. Any help or insight you could offer?
I am currently running v3 of the public beta 2.2.2. and had encountered the issue before updating.

thank you and hope your day is well
 
Yeah I can personally attest that trying to use the "help" command on the console to get the proper ID's doesn't work for some reason. It'd be nice if the wiki listed their ID's somewhere. After I had a bug where Jake vanished and I couldn't find him again I started clicking on them and writing down their ID's for later use.
 
Yeah that "help" command process has never worked for me either. It's like there's another step in the process that nobody ever actually says what it is.

I could be wrong but I think the wiki does have their IDs, at least for some of them. You just have to search up the character on the wiki.

Ah well I know they don't have it for Jake and from this post I guess they don't have it for Old Paul either. Those are some of the big names I could think of that people would want access to. But yeah I know the wiki is still a work in progress and all so I ain't hating
