Stranger not apearing SS2

For some reason, the stranger isn't appearing in my save game. I have reached level 60 and secured multiple outposts so I'm unsure what is happening. I'm trying to create a fully automated settlement but cannot since I don't have the ASAM sensors. Even when I used the cheat menu in the city-manager desk to make all city plots available I couldn't build any because I didn't have any ASAM sensors. Yes I build recruitment towers, yes I build water purifiers. SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe ASAM sensors should be just craftable at a chemistry station or something????????

Hello, and welcome.

Gaining the ability to craft ASAM sensors is a part of the story/questline, at least for now (there might be a story-free version of SS2 at some point in the future)

Jake Evans (the Stranger) appears in the first settlement where you build and power a vanilla (only) recruitment beacon, and sometimes he isn't obvious, particularly if you already have settlers roaming around. In Sanctuary, for example, I think there are 4 different spots where he might spawn, and sometimes he makes himself comfortable instead of roaming where you might more easily notice him. If you don't remember which settlement you first powered the beacon in you might try moving to him via console command - I don't recall his ID at the moment, but if he spawned somewhere, that should work (though console commands are best used sparingly since they can have unforeseen consequences).

If he isn't appearing in game for you at all, please confirm that you have everything installed correctly and in the correct load order (check the wiki for Requirements, Installation Guide, Starting the Mod, FAQ, Known Issues, Troubleshooting, and more).

If you have confirmed that everything is installed and set up correctly and you are certain that he isn't in any of your settlements, you might have a mod conflict. If you post your load order and plug-ins (either as an attachment or under a spoiler tag, please) someone in the community might be able to identify a possible conflict that isn't more broadly known and already logged.

Need some help. Jake is showing up even though I have the mods, got a robo mag, and started a new recruitment beacon. Even reinstalled fallout 4. I am playing on Xbox One and am in the middle of a play through so I am not sure if I need to start a new game.

Hello, and welcome.

I'll offer what help I can, though I am not an XBox player. Note that if you deleted any mods to make room for SS2 (or for any other reason), yeah, you are going to need to start a new game, or at least roll back to a save before you installed the mods that you have now removed.

As I mentioned above, make sure you have your load order set correctly - XBox is a bit different than PC, and the instructions for it are near the bottom of the Installation page of the wiki.

Also as I mentioned above, if everything is installed and loaded correctly, the Stranger/Jake can appear in any of a number of locations in the settlement where you first build your vanilla recruitment beacon, and he likes to wander and use animation markers. You may need to search for him, or use one of the tools like the town meeting gavel to get him to come to you.

If you still cannot find him after all of that, my concern would be that you have a mod conflict (though I doubt it on XBox since you don't have much space after installing all three chapters of SS2 and its requirements), or he is somehow appearing somewhere in your game world that he can't get out of (like underground). If after everything above you still can't find him, you might try posting your load order, so we can see if there are any issues there.

I don't see any issues with your load order, RigofMidgard. All I have to offer is to repeat myself from above - he is either roaming your settlement using animation markers, or he glitched out and spawned someplace he shouldn't have, like underground. You should try the town meeting gavel to summon all settlers and see if that teleports him to you. If not, we'll need to see if anyone else has any ideas other than a full clean install.

So I followed the directions and searched other settlements and added a bell/gavel - no Jake/stranger. My load order is
Workshop Framework
Sim Settlement 2
Chapter2
Chapter3
HudFramework

I am not able to move HudFramework behind Workshop.

Thank you. I loaded the patch and traveled to a settlement. Stranger was there and everything is working. I thought the patch was optional.

So Stranger appeared WITH the patch? Weird...

Dumb question - I loaded the patch and now some subtitles are in Russian and some of the quest titles are in Russian. How do I fix this?
