Vim and Vigor

I'm currently stuck at the "Ask about the blueprints in vault 81" part, and cannot seem to ask anyone about it. Am I doing something wrong? I completed the 81 story as well but nothing is happening.

EDIT: never mind, I wasn't talking to the right person

I'm having a problem when completing "Report success to Katlin" AND "Help Old Rusty." I've unclogged the pipe and I've got oil in my inventory to turn in, however, it is not letting me bring up dialogue with either NPC.

If Cedric isn't giving you the right dialogue to progress the quest, make sure you still have the Robco Schematics in your player inventory. After some hair pulling and searching around in FO4Edit, I figured out that was why I wasn't getting the dialogue.

I had apparently dumped the schematics into my main storage container with all my other magazines and notes and whatnot. It would be nice if the schematics were flagged as a quest item so they couldn't be removed from the player inventory until they were no longer needed for the quest.

Thank you! The schematics apparently still aren't flagged as a quest item.

Thanks for this thread.

Hello,
I also have a problem with this quest.
I manage to take the vit-o-matic, but I'm stuck on the next screen:
View attachment 10533
Does anyone have a solution? Maybe with the help of the console?

And above all, great work on this new version of SSM2.

Thank you in advance.

Same issue... can't interact with the object to take it.

You mean you can't take it in the first place, or you're stuck on that one screen?

There won't be a pop up text of "E: Take" or whatever when you mouse over the thing in the doctor's office, just walk right up to it and mash your Use key over and over, maybe move around a little to get on just the right angle, that's usually what works for me. If you did it right the game should take control of your character away from you for a second to show them pulling the device off its stand thing.

 

[evilhippo]

Yes that did the trick, I just moved around and mashed the use key like a mad loon for quite some time and eventually it worked

 

[InsanoPotato]

It still does nothing even if you move up close enough to be touching it and press Use anyway? Thats always worked for me.

This should be sticky'd to the quest walkthrough until it has the prompt to hit the corresponding key to grasp the vit-o-matic.

Thank you for helping me!

1. The person gave you the ID to schematics in Vault-Tec HQ in Hub of the Problem (the previous quest.)
2. The XX needs to be filled in with the numbers your mod is using. The XX is going to be different for everyone due to number of mods and load orders. Do help "item name" 0 to get the right ID#.

This is the correct answer, you want to hit the activate button in the area around it and that should grab the Vitomatic. It has no activate option.

Thanks for the very helpful answer. I was able to figure out how to give myself the schematics (since I must have dropped them somewhere and they are not marked as quest items).
The schematics really should be marked as a non-droppable quest item.

They are marked as a quest item, uncertain why it doesn't work for some folks. Hopefully I run into it in my Let's Play and I'll have a save to dig into and find out what's going on...

2022 and this is still a thing. Jugato saved my sanity. Thank you for the solution!

does anyone know the console command to skip the quest?
