I maxed out and romanced Curie. But I love Cait more...and gave her my dead wife's ring. (yep I'm sweet like that)

Anyway so I sent Curie to my personal non MM settlement of Red Rocket. Recently I built the Surgery Center stand. I assigned Curie to that and put her in a lab-coat. Seemed appropriate. Now after having waited 1.5 days she still doesn't actually work as a Doc. She stands at the booth all day and even whips out a clip board and writes stuff down ( I didn't give her that either!)......but when I talk to her all I get is the normal dialogue options (do you need something...can we travel together, etc).

If I don't assign her she assigns herself to farming and works just fine.

Anyone been able to make her be a settlement Doc?

I don't think companions work as settlement shop runners.

Could be wrong though.

I noticed this too. It's a weakness in the game, IMO.

Youre not suppose to use them like that and why should you. Use someone who can permanent be a shopkeeper, like some special traders you are able to meet.

Well I guess that makes sense. It would be good if the devs had put a block up that said "Companions cannot be assigned". It shouldn't let you put them into this oddball halfway state!
