I am building a lot of settlements this play through and it just dawned on me the other day that I have all the Picket Fences magazines but for some reason the "statues" "lawn flamingos" (I know this is a different magazine, but I have it) and "patio furniture" are not available for me to build.

Anyone else have an "issue" with this? ;P

I've even gone so far as to go around and try to collect the magazines again and yeah, they are not re-spawning, so they sit in my collection in sanctuary just looking good on the magazine rack...

Anyone know of any tricks to fix this? I mean I didn't really miss them since I don't use them that much, but I went to build some patio furniture the other day and that's when I noticed none of this stuff is in my buildable items menu.

If I recall, the flamingos were in a section I didn't expect them in. Rather than be in the same line as with plants, they were in the same line as the barbeque grill.

I can't recall where statues were. I had just found the magazine before placing a Minuteman statue in one of the my settlements, then started a new game.

Aren't the flamingos from a wasteland survival guide?

edit, sorry, didn't read the op well enough. Need coffee.

Yes, but as I said I do have that magazine as well.

It's a long shot, but maybe you can use the Dogmeat trick to duplicate the magazines and get them to activate that way.
