My game is stuck at the main quest "Picking up the Trail". I can't find a spoiler tag, so there are spoilers for those that have never finished the game before. I just entered the Citadel, and as I walk forward, the game switches to a cut scene. But it just sticks and nothing happens. I know I can use the setstage console command, but I was wondering if I could advance the script responsible for the cut scene via a console command?

Do other cutscenes play correctly?

If you're posting this in mod-related, then you must think it stems from a mod-related problem. Post a list of your mod load-order and that might help solve the problem. If not this may not be the right forum for you. But we're glad to help

Well first off, is doctor Li with you? sometimes you enter the cutscene begins and she still hasn't arrived so it basically "freezes"

This is the second time it happened during a cutscene. The first time was the last quest at the end when you are in Project Purity control room. That cutscene didn't play either. I just used setstage for that. It may be mod related.

Yes, doctor Li already entered. When I entered she was gone. She's not in the area. I'll post my mod load order. I played through the game when it first came out without any mods and I didn't have a problem. So it may be mod related. Here's my load order:

No idea if this is causing your issue, but you shouldn't use FO3 Wanderers Edition - Optional Free Play After MQ.esp with Broken Steel.

Oh, ok. I guess Broken Steel has that built in.

EDIT

Nah, that wasn't the problem. I may just have to use setstage command.
