Missing Construction Option in HQ

[teajello]

I know this particular problem has been posted before in my searches, but there hasn't been any sort of solution aside one person saying that they just loaded and older save, but that hasn't worked for me in the many times I've tried it.

I'm currently doing the quest How to HQ at the point where you need to build Mansfield an office and there is no option to construct anything. The workshop menu is missing the icon for construction that is present in step 5C of this guide.

How to HQ

A tutorial quest to learn about your new headquarters - building, assigning staff and managing HQ

wiki.simsettlements2.com

I've updated SS2, SS2C2 and the requisite mods to the latest versions and rolled back to various different saves to before the quest started. I am running a somewhat heavily modded game (~200 mods), but no other workshop related mods and there aren't any conflicts that show up in FO4Edit with SS2 and SS2C2 aside from lighting mods like Clarity.

When I use the City Manager Holotape to force complete the quest, I can continue along and unlock the other options in the workshop menu related to the other departments, but still have no option to construct anything in any of the menus.

Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I had the exact same problem in my first play through, but in the end deleted that game as other issues like long save times and an HQ reset, made me decide to wait for fixes.

I started another play-through with new patch and all went well, no long saves the whole game seemed smoother, but again once i got to HQ i hit the same issue, i do the first part of "How to HQ" and clean the room, but then there is no construction option in the command mode to build Mansfield's office.

As original poster i used the holo-tape to push past this and complete quest, i was then able to carry on with building the HQ as and using the Pseudo Asams on the walls can build the various requirements, but i cannot now complete commonwealth rising as there still are no build or upgrade options in the command mode for any departments, so cannot complete network upgrade portion.

I have tried going back to before i start the attack on HQ several times and taken things really slow at each stage, waiting between each stage and each speech check but still the end result is the same, no build or upgrade options.

Hopefully someone can point to the reason so i can resolve this issue as i have really enjoyed this fantastic series and am looking forward to future chapters.

missing the build menu options in the HQ... that is for sure a mod conflict... cant think of anything else

Ty if it happens on this latest play through i will start a new game with no mods other than relevant ones, then save before that point and add in mods gradually to try and figure it out which one is the cause.
I dont have many mods in the scheme of things around 100 none of which are associated with the workshop, but if it does happen i will take the above action and if i find a conflict will post here.
Ty again for the advice.

I think I had this issue and it was because I got ahead of myself assigning people before the quest asked me to, I reloaded an earlier save and redid it more patiently and it worked, unfortunately i can't now get coordinate to show up under logistics no matter what, so this could be a scripting issue, not a you issue.

Thank you for your response, i have managed just recently to get it to work during a new play through and testing out with and without various mods.
The only thing that seemed to be consistent was that if i had any heavy scripted mods such as Outcast and Remnants or its associated mod Project Valkyrie enabled, then the HQ quest line would always bug out at some point for me, but with these mods disabled it went through quite smoothly.
So this would lean towards your scripting issue, although i have to admit i am in no way a tech minded person, in my day the closest we had to computers was a slide rule or maybe an early calculator
Thank you again for your helpful response.

Went through the exact same thing on a recent rollback I had to do because my supply agreements weren't working... Now I get to the HQ and recruit Mansfield, but there's no option to clean rooms when I get the quest.

I tried skipping ahead with the City Manager holotape, but that just built the rooms for the quests and still didn't 'unlock' the build menu (V) with the different departments.
