I've completed the quest where you check on Old Paul's friend, find the dog etc. Now, Old Paul will not stop followng me. Every time I talk to him he asks for food for Cola and I cannot get him to shut up and go away. Also, I really wish he would shut up.It gets annoying every time you pass by him he says something.
 
Downloaded the patch, which fixed the Let Sleeping Dogs Lie quest. But Old Paul is still following me around like a bad smell. At this rate, I'm giving up. His constant babbling is beyond annoying and I just want to kill him to get rid of him

Haven't tested this, but I think it has something to do with the nexr ASAM quest, as Paul does follow you around the settlement. I...kind of shot him until he was down and then ran off tto Concord to start the next part of the main SS2 quest. He didn't show up in Concord, so...yeah...I guess it was a workaround..
 
I also have this and Cola hasn't moved from where we talked to Old Paul, but missions from Jake are going ok so ...Also just noticed its now on 1-0-0c maybe he's stopped asking.

I had this on V1.0.0. I used console commands to advance the quest so I could finish it.

I upgraded to v1.0.0b and still had this issue. I rolled back to a save before the quest started and was able to finish it normally. This was the only way I was able to fix this. Now Paul is back to normal.

Paul is still asking for food and not taking it.

I will have to look in on Old Paul..Cola hasn't moved from the spot you drop her off at, I've even been back to Sanctuary a few times today, will hunt him down next time to see if he is still asking for food.
 
Just a quick question, is old Paul’s quest important at all outside of the l3 option? Just because of the bigs currently involved I would prefer to skip it if it’s just that reward. 1st of dog interaction was fixed by reinstall w today’s patch, but now colas stuck and Paul’s steady asking for food for him.
 
I have the same bug since I upgraded Sim 2 to the latest version two days ago. I started that quest before upgrade and I did not have this problem then. Now Paul follows me everywhere when I fast travel, load save, or he appears randomly near me. He stalks me in my home, I am alone, then I go out of the shower and there he is, Paul standing in the corner... watching. I can't complete his quest. I went to that shack, saw the dog, I can talk to it, this does not work, or pet it, dog gets ups, and lies down after few seconds. I don't know if whole quest is bugged or I have to figure out what to do with the dog. Quest log says that I have to investigate source of the sounds, so I pet the dog, can't talk to it, I'm stuck.
