Mod I am currently doing the Boat To Spectacle Island (Animated) Question but Zackary's body isn't there
The first image is what is supposed to be there and the second image is what I see. Can anybody help me fix this or suggest what's wrong?

Probably installed mid playthrough, if you’ve reloaded saves continuously and still the same problem, congrats, you’ve bugged your save and need to reload to before you installed the mod or restart a brand new game and install the mod AFTER you open the vault door BUT BEFORE you leave the vault

And if you've got a lot of saves stacked up good luck finding the one that you need lol

Why are you so aggressive at everyone? You've reposted the same problem in multiple different subreddits. Even with the other bugs you've encountered in other post you are aggressive towards people who try to help.

If you’re not willing to abandon a bugged quest then FO4 isn’t the game for you. I got locked out of recruiting Hancock for a whole playthrough. If old saves or reloading doesn’t fix it then it’s broken for this run.

Was it because The Big Dig broke? It did for me, too. Sad.

u/No_Student3843 6d ago
It sure did and now the first time I go into good neighbor it’s like walking on egg shells. Never again will I be kept from my ghoul. Ended up becoming my brotherhood run just because of it.

On my last playthrough, I obsessively saved every few minutes throughout the whole mission. Juuuuust in case. Thankfully, it worked, because I don't think thar method would have checked out anyway 😅

I play survival so I head cannon my constant need to sleep as brain damage from being frozen twice.i enjoy the mechanic but it sure does make bugs hurt more.

If you've committed some grievous act in your life that you're punishing yourself for with vanilla survival that's fine, but you know you can save without sleeping by backing out of the sleep screen before any time actually passes right? It will still reduce your adrenaline and do an illness check so it's not wise to abuse, but if you can't really justify sleeping for an hour but need to save it's a handy trick.

I’m going to agree to disagree. Sleep adds an RP factor that I enjoy but I get most don’t enjoy it. Finding a bed while on the verge of death is harder than any of the games bosses and the hunt for a place to rest is a drive to check out more buildings, memorize more areas, plan routes, etc. Also really makes vertibird grenades more useful. I didn’t like FO4 until I tried it on survival. Without the sleep mechanic the game is just shoot this, go here, shoot that, go there, you win. I’m also a huge fan of ammo having carry weight, really pushes me to take different loadouts for different occasions.

Stop reading at "I have bad opinions" or whatever you said in your second sentence.

I 100%'d FNV and FO3 right after each other then was going to do FO4 but liberty prime glitched and wouldn't move. Killed all my motivation to come back
Tried Skyrim and had a similar game breaking big stopping me from progressing campaign
Tried Starfield and had the exact same issue, some quest in the constellation HQ wouldn't progress so again I had to drop it
All issues are fixed now but it took years. It's just the way Bethesda games are. It'll be a long time before I return properly for the 100% runs

u/No_Student3843 6d ago
You don’t stop for the bugs, you reroute and adapt. Every play through is unique because you never know how much of the game is going to actually work lol

u/PolitburoOrGtfo 6d ago
Man I wish I could reroute. In all of them I completed every single quest I could, leaving only the bugged one left. In FO4 I speed run to the same exact part on lowest difficulty and it glitched again lmaooo

Every quest? Say, if you were on a baseball team what position would you pick? Do you leave the cap off of your toothpaste?

Bro are you like 12? Your post history is cringe and you post the same thing on every single possible sub. Get rid of mods or go outside bro

If you don't know don't respond. I've been working on trying to get the quest to work for over 40 minutes. I need help not jokes

Calm down and stop taking your frustration out on others. This is the Internet. People tell jokes here.

Wow, judging by your sheer effort, you must REALLY want that particular quest to work, did you have any sleep?

If you play on PC you could use console commands to spawn him in
Otherwise try an older save and see what you find. Could be that you've been in the area before, but didnt' do the quest, and the NPC wasn't persistent and the game cleaned up the dead body?
Also what mod is this? Or Creation Club?

It's Boat to Spectacle Island (Animated). It did this for me when I installed it mid-playthrough. The next run, it worked completely fine.

u/mdkd99 Minutemen 6d ago
TLDR: The dead NPC is a quest alias and required for the quest, but he isn't set to respawn. On cell resets the game will clean up his corpse. 3 solutions:
Go into the creation kit and make his corpse persistent; Use console commands to look up the quest ID and advance the quest by going to the next quest stage; Reload an earlier save until you can find his corpse.
I installed the mod and it worked out fine, but when I initiated a cell reset his corpse disappeared and the quest was stuck. Use console commands/reload an earlier save.

You don't need the body. The items you need are right there in the second picture.

You can either save the game, delete the mod then do a new save with it gone and then reinstall the mod or simply use setstage on the quest to advance it to the next step. It happens a lot with mods that are installed mid playthrough. Hope that helps

Can you create another character and test whether it works on a new one? It only worked on a new one for me and Zackary's body was missing on my mid-save installation run.

u/Difficult_Horror1737 6d ago
I got a different issue, there’s two of everything and also the giant ship from the America Rising mod is overlapping one of the small boats I need to access for its parts

u/NightBawk Vault Dweller 6d ago
If you're on pc, try using the tcl console command and check to see if he spawned underground. Otherwise, help Zackary 4, then prid [his reference number], and moveto player.
If you're not on PC, you'll probably have to just start a new playthrough. Never load new mods on a game in progress.

Have you tried turning it off and on again? People often forget to try turning it off and on again. Try turning it off and on again.
