Missing Museum Item Fix

@shatteredfriend7 If the holotape and sensors aren't appearing in any of the locations, one of your mods is preventing Sim Settlements from starting. The most common one to interfere is HUDFramework. Disable Sim Settlements and HUDFramework, then load and save your game, now re-enable just SS and head to one of the locations to see if everything spawned. Once it does and you load the holotape into your pipboy, you can save and re-enable HUDFramework.
 
Is that mod included in sim settlements? If not I don’t have that mod downloaded, I have thought it was a conflicting mod but my mod testing hasn’t changed anything. I can give you a complete list of my mods if you think there might be a problem
 
Even without HUDFramework, you can still do the same steps. Disable Sim Settlements (and any expansions or add-ons), load and save your game, then re-enable those and head to one of the locations in that link.
 
This solution is pinned, but is it considered closed?

I am having the exact same issue as the OP after I moved up to a better computer. My FO4 is installed on an external hard drive, I started a new game on the new rig (I had no problem with SS on the old rig) and all the other mods (I'm using NMM) seem to be working fine, but when I walk into the MoF in Concord I see no holotape or ASAMs.

I followed the directions of this thread...I deactivated SS (and ROTC and IR) along with HUD Framework, then took a new save, then reinstalled them and activated them (I've now done this both manually and with NMM) and still do not get the items in-game. I even found an old video about stopping and starting simsettlementparent using the console. Still no dice.

At this point, I'm leaning toward either deleting the entire game and starting from scratch, or just giving up entirely. Before I do that, though, I'm hoping someone might see something that I'm missing or have some other advice.

I know kinggath and others want to focus on bigger issues than this one, just thought I'd try since this same problem was pinned. Great mod, of course, and FO4 is essentially unplayable without.

Thanks in advance.

When you made your new save, did you do it outside of the museum? The trigger to spawn the items happens the moment you enter, so if you are already inside, it won't happen.
 
That partially fixed it. You're right, I was inside the museum so I did it again from outside, reentered, and found the holotape and ASAMs. However, back in Sanctuary I see that the Sim Settlements category in Workshop mode is not appearing. Any idea what could be causing that?

(I ran the repair option in Settlement Menu Manager holotape. Says it fixed it but didn't.)

Currently Playing on PC this is happening post the 3.2.1 patch. I have attempted the instructions pinned in this thread with no luck.
 
Uninstalled all sim settlements related mods/add-ons, and sim settlements, then reinstalled sim settlements. This fixed the issue, I assume one of the add-on was conflicting with sim settlements, will test each add-on to find out which.
 
At this point, I've uninstalled ALL of my mods just to make sure there aren't any conflicts, made a clean save (OUTSIDE THE MUSEUM), enabled Sim Settlements, gone inside, and they're still not showing up. I am beyond frustrated right now. T_T
 
Is anyone still having issues with this?
