My home base is Red Rocket and after I max out a companion, I let them live there. Before then, they stay at the Starlight Drive-in.

So far I have perks for all the companions except the two dead ones plus Strong and Codsworth.

Every time I come home to dump scrap McCready and Garvey hit on me relentlessly for romoance. (playing as Nora) Preston is begging me "Is now a good time to talk"? No, I got your companion perk so get lost. Makes me feel like a gold digger (which I am).

I am going to have to find another home for the horn dogs.

So the tip, hint or spoiler? Don't live with your old companions after you max them out.

Who . . . who are the two "dead ones"?

I bet Danse and X6-88? I'll try and max all my companion perks this time around, before I finish the MQ.

And LOL I build a separate base, just for my companions during my 2nd play-through. Right now, I just sent them back to their homes.

I dump companions into the steel smelter when I have their perk.
