Jake wont spawn

[Thekokoking]

Ive been playing a new save for a while now... and jake has just refused to spawn. i have progressed in the main story to the point of heading to vergil, gone with the minutemen all the way to the castle, and have two settlements with around 7 settlers each. i dont know what i could be doing wrong, i put my mods in the exact order i was told to. Here is all my mods, what could be causing he issue?

Sorry if this is terribly obvious, but did you find the magazine on the workshop at Sanctuary and build the recruitment beacon there? Jake should spawn almost immediately when you do.

 

[Thekokoking]

yes, i grabbed the magazine immediately upon going to the workbench at the start of the game. i have one in sanctuary and one in starlight drive in

i forgot to mention, i had tried using the setquest command but it didnt seem to work, so i went back to a save i made before i put in the command

Alternate start mods are not compatible with SS2 i dont know if that is the problem but you can try disable that and try again.

They're not always incompatible, though to identify issues it helps to avoid them. Some versions of Start me up may be incompatible, specifically anything minutemen related.
https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/57101 - this one is usually suggested. Still you should give the game some time to start up everything, especially with a heavy modlist.
Other than that, nothing really seems incompatible, but what's your mod manager and are you sure the load order is correct?

(also the usual stuff like powering the vanilla recruitment beacon in the settlement)

i use mod organizer 2 and regarding time, my in game time is 10 hours and 17 minutes

It seems like workshop framework and SS2 + chapter 2 were not updated for a while, maybe do that? You could also pick the SS2 holotape from the concord hardware store (should be near the window) and pick the settings, that should kickstart something.

I've had the same issue. Jake does not spawn. I'm using MO2. I've tried with nothing but the required mods for Sim settlements 2 and it still won't work. I've created multiple new games and nothing... I've tried making a game with no mods then enabling sim settlements 2 after and still nothing.

starting to think the mod might be busted rn, might wanna have some of the devs take a look at the issue
