i was doing the quest line for the girl twin that runs the bar where i had to hunt down 3 tab owers. and finished that i then did the next quest where you have to kill the guy on the strip because he stole some caps from them. i go and complete it. my only mess up with that was i accidently shot a guard bot and had to use a stealth boy to get out of there.

i return to the atomic wrangler and notice that they (the twins) are in their underwear. she walks through the back room so i jump the bar to go after her and get told to get out of there so i do. i search for a short while and make it up to her bedroom (had to use the console unlock comands on the locked doors to get in there. i walk in her room and she jumps up out of bed and tells me to get out so i walk out of her room where she stops at the threshold of her door. i then try to talk to her she gives me the non dialog greeting where she just gives me a one liner.

so i figure to wait for her shift again. she doesnt show up for 3 days. i go back up stairs and shes exactly where i left her. so i leave and wait 3 more days to hopefully respawn the cell. it doesnt work. also her brother and one of the wrangler guard have turned invisible and are non responsive. as if there signature was left behind for me to find on my reticle.

i do use mods heres my list

any suggestions at all would be welcome. just hope to god its not a unresolvable glitch that cant be fixed except for loading an earlier save cause i dont have one.

if anything would finishing the quest through console command be a possibility?

The Garretts "losing" their clothing, among other problems, showed up after I updated to v6 of the Compiled Patch, so that may be a cause of the problem. Try reloading an older save from before the glitch with v5 and see if the problem still occurs. Im not sure about the turning invisible and refusing to talk though. I fixed the clothing problem by selecting each of them and typing "resetinventory" in the console.

:whistling: unfortunately i saved over my last save and auto save is way past that point.... i may try removing the V6 patch and then waiting 3 days and see if that solves the issues.

thanks for the info on the patch bug. :foodndrink:

As to the Garrett's dialog, it seems to be conditional based on thier current AI and location.
I tryed talking with them in their quarters once as well.
Similar results.

The v6 patch appears to change the Garretts' equipment to a leveled list rather than simply giving them the clothing item in their inventory. Im pretty sure the problem wont occur if the v6 patch is installed before the player ever encounters the Garretts (before their inventory is set for the first time). However, there is a pretty serious bug that causes a crash when entering any cell that has water. A fix for that issue has been posted in the comment thread.

I would suggest simply selecting them and typing "resetinventory" in the console to get them their clothes back.

Honestly the Community Patch isn't all that helpful since I don't think it's really tested before they upload it and it's been handed over from one guy to another and now the new guy says he can't work on it anymore either. I'm just holding off on playing until Obsidian/Bethesda release the big patch in the next few weeks rather than trying a whole bunch of bugfix mods that may or may not be needed anymore once that patch comes out.

My recommendation is to disable the patch mod and go install the individual fixes for any major bugs you've encountered.
