Where there’s smoke quest

Doing “where there’s smoke”. I get to the encampment, talk to Aiden and then the raiders show up for a battle. I kill several and then the rest of the red markers disappear and the music keeps playing but the quest won’t update. Sits on “Track down the gunners from the radio”.
Can’t get the quest to progress from this point.

I did not know/remember adding Mojave Imports. Should I consider deleting this?

Thanks.

since you finished the quest not needed, i just wanted confirmation on what it could be. and thanks to your small load order that was the only mod that inst struck me as the culprit!... I will test it to make sure

As I stated in this post, I think Jake is set to stay at his workshop during this stage of the quest. When you go to one of the markers after the radio scene he will teleport to you, say his lines and start walking back toward Concord. I don't have much in my load order. It does the same thing disabling XDI and my patch.

I have a save from just before that quest started. You want me to run it again? It might just be an engine glitch. I only ever made the one run with XDI disabled and that was on 1.0.0L. On 4 other playthroughs, Jake has never followed me after the radio scene. Once the "Aiden" scene starts, Jake teleports there and things continue like they should.

Tried on several playthroughs to do this. Each time I get to the final point, start the fight with the gunners, finish the fight, and the quest never proceeds past the "use the radio to find the gunners". Once I kill said gunners, Jake and Aiden just stand there. Might be a mod conflict.

afaik you only have to go to the settlement and can ignore the other 2 points. What seems to happen is multiple pods of gunners spawn, spread out, and agro things that aren't you...I also retried this quest several times before I finally tracked down all of the bastards and killed them. If the combat music is still playing that means there are still living gunners. Mine agro'd on the zimonja raiders and cleared them out, I found a couple gunners on the far side of zimonja (the opposite side from the quest settlement). Once the combat music stops Jake and Aiden should both automatically go back to the quest marker at the settlement. Aiden ran quite far(or maybe got stuck on terain) for me and took a bit to get back to the marker.

This happened to be before this was fixed in v1.0.0L where the gunners now target Aiden. Kinda a bummer. It was awfully nice of the gunners to brave the fatman fire for me! ;)

@Tarkkh I just did a bare minimum load order run through Where There's Smoke. Jake does not leave the Hardware store until you meet Aiden.
He definitely says he will follow you:

You liar! All right Jake, GET OVER HERE! Go, go Gadget console magic!
20201112122803_1.jpg
Hey! What the F#$% do you mean it's lunch time?

No matter what he is determined to be in this location until you meet Aiden.
I would call this a bug.

I dumped all my mods, cleansaved, ran resaver and purged the orphans and ran the quest.
