I'm on the 360. I haven't played since the release of DM. I have the last two DLCs and started a new char. I wanted to try to get access to the NCR, Legion and BoS safehouses. I have read about them being bugged. Things not appearing and the safehouses resetting, thus loosing all your stored goods. Is this tied to a patch? I don't remember having those issues from previous playthroughs.

Any advice on getting multiple safehouses, and bugs with them are welcomed. I'm currently lvl 5, in the Primm area, so anything is possible at this point.

Thanks guys.

It is rare for a bug to happen, the only two I have seen are in the Brotherhoof Safehouse. Once when a patch was installed the safehouse reset, but only the things left in the open disappeared. Also a deathclaw followed me all the way down the sewer once. Otherwise the most unsafe thing is leaving you gear as the Ranger and Legionaire will steal it.

The 'Deathclaw Incident' is a side-effect of their Aggressiveness level being through the roof, they will pursue you no matter what you do while trying to get away.

As for NPCs taking stuff, their AI routines have an 'eat' section whereby they grab the nearest food or drink item and consume it, regardless of what it is. AFAIK they will not take non-edibles; however, I don't use any of the safe-houses as a base, nor do I return there to see if any of the stuff lying on the shelves has disappeared after taking those items I actually want.

One notable exception is in the Followers' safe-house: the doc who lives there will restock the fridge daily if she's there, and when this happens anything stored therein will be summarily deleted.

I'm not that worried about leaving stuff out, in the open. I take everything from the shelves, and store them in containers, anyway. I don't really have a "Home Base", nor do I really care for the ones provided on the strip.

I could set up in other places. If someone has any ideas, where. I just don't want to loose out on things in containers. I mainly want the safehouses for the prizes. There locations were just handy from my previous playthroughs.

the sink from OWB is the best, you are in the middle of a huge crater with nobody to steal your food
