Forum:Primm citizens won't leave casino

So I'm on my second playthrough and I brought law back to Primm using the sheriff from NCRCF. After going to Nipton, Novac, REPCONN, Boulder City, and finally getting to Camp McCarren I decided to go back to Primm to get the encounter with Layla out of the way so the casino could open again. When I went there, everyone was still inside the casino and I couldn't trade with Nash because he keeps telling me "Oh wait till I get back to my shop." but he won't leave. I don't know why this has happened. In my first playthrough everyone went back to their homes, no problem. Now this time everyone is stuck at the casino. Any reason for this? I don't know what I did different. Can this be fixed or do I have to go all the way back to the near beginning of the game? If I have to start over, how do I prevent this from happening again?

There is a known bug where, if you repair ED-E before restoring law to Primm, Nash will not return to his shop. One solution is to go into Nash's shop and fire then rehire ED-E. If this doesn't work (which it didn't for me) then I'm stumped. Hope I helped. Lightning 08:54, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

That was the cause of some bugs from one of the patches, I'm not sure which one. I'm on PS3, I tried deleting the patches, it works fine, everyone got out of the casino including Nash, BUT once you reinstall the patches, they will just walk back into the casino again. you can give it a try if you want, maybe it'll work better for you.

I'm having the same glitch, exact same circumstances, only I haven't even repaired Ed-E yet.... I'm playing on PS3. Any suggestions for fixing this?

It's a patches fault? So you mean I started all over again for no reason because there was no way for me to fix it? Well that's just f***ing great! Didn't repair ED-E, didn't even get its quest, people are still stuck there. Well at least I didn't lose that much progress from starting over on my second playthrough. Still, pisses me off I didn't need to start over anyway because I can't fix the problem myself. 02:24, September 7, 2011 (UTC)

hmmm... wonder if this bug is just a PS3 issue? I'm playing on the PS3 as well and also having this same problem... --Kid Ego 09:33, September 30, 2011 (UTC)

So get this, I went back to my first playthrough now that I have LR downloaded, went back to Primm to head to the canyon and the Nashs are back in the casino. What the hell? They originally went back to the Mojave Express office, now they've teleported back inside the Vikki & Vance, so now I can't trade with Mr. Nash anymore. All the other residents of Primm are still back in their houses expect for the Nashs. Uber lame. You think the game makers will even try to fix this or now that they have their last DLC out they just aren't gonna give a shit anymore? 04:39, October 4, 2011 (UTC)
