Is there anyway to send companions back to their original homes AFTER you sent them to one of your settlements?

I've done some searching on the webs but I still can't find any solutions to send companions back to homes once I put them to my settlements, it's kind of annoying, if that really is the case, I really hope Beth can add a function to send them back to their original homes in future patches, I also really hope Beth can let us build supply line to home plate in diamond city, otherwise we'll just have to modify them all by ourselves and I hope it can be done.

when the list comes up "where" I hit cancel on PS4 and they go back to point of orgin.

Yes, I do that too. But I am not sure if that works after you set them up somewhere else.

Well Curie does not want to go back to her vault. When I brought her back there, she said she does not want to go in.

I feel sorry for Nate, Pipers little sister. A minor. When I bring Piper back to her home she just ignores Nate. And if I leave her there she just appears again in Sanctuary.

And Cait for sure does not want to go back to where she was a drug addict and abused

You apparently can't. http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1557954-possible-to-send-companions-to-original-locations/#entry24565140, and after the typical 'just cancel' from people unfamiliar with the problem, it was determined there was none.

I only fell into this trap with Hancock (I told him to stay there temporarily while I shifted Strong so he'd stop judging me while I moved my frames around) - I feel for those who accidentally collected Nick and Piper as well. I can at least tolerate it, since Hancock and my SoSu are dating, yet still annoying.

BUT recently, when I cancelled, the dialogue SAID he was returning to Red Rocket but he never showed up. When I went to Goodneighbour, LO AND BEHOLD THERE HE WAS, in the State House, hanging out with Fahrenheit.

Now, I don't know what caused that - it can't be a fix, because I also just 'cancelled' MacCreedy and Cait, and they ARE supposed to live at Red Rocket (any companions without commitments or attachments typically stay with me) - but it happened. Might be a case of a bug, or that he was my follower for so damn long he hadn't been at Red Rocket in months, but all I can say is... keep your chin up? Something might be happening under the hood...

It seems like I was able to send Nick back to his detective agency, but that's likely because I did not ever send him to a settlement (I had already maxed his affection and gotten his perk at the point he was no longer 'required' for the main quest). Nick, MacReady, and Piper, anyway, should be able to be sent to their original locations, I would think. Some, like Strong, Cait, and possibly Curie would not want to go back to their starting points (although I don't see why Curie could not live in the populated areas of Vault 81).... and of course Preston, Dogmeat and Codsworth ~can~ be sent to their starting locations since they are actual settlements. Deacon could be sent back to his starting location ~if~ the Railroad is still intact and likewise if the BoS is unharmed, Danse should be able to return to his post either on the Prydwyn or at the police station.

To avoid confusing myself, I just send ALL my ex-Companions to Hangman's Alley (except Dogmeat and Codsworth are at my zero-settler Red Rocket personal base). Only problem is when I go to Hangman's Alley, I end up with a half dozen people (ex-Companions) talking to me as I try to walk through the area.

If you ever send a companion to one of your settlements, that becomes their new default home.


So Piper, Hancock and others will never go back to where you picked them up as DC, Goodneighbor don't appear on your settlement list.


Best thing, is when asked just back out of the choice and they'll go back to where you picked them up.


The one except is Curie, due to a bug I guess, always goes back to vault 81.

I wish you could, Piper was missing from half the things that happen in diamond city cause I sent her to sanctuary... seems like an oversight.

When you tab out of the location selection, they return to their last assigned place. If you've never assigned anywhere, it's the default location. But, once that's changed it's changed permanently.

I never tell Nick or Piper to go to one of my settlements, because it's logical for both of them to go home. Nick has an agency and Piper has a newspaper to run, not to mention a little sister to look after. While I don't actually use Dance or Deacon, I wouldn't send either of them to one of my settlements either. I can't think of another companion who I would actually recruit aside from Curie, Dogmeat and Codsworth, and I'd prefer all of those three going to one of my settlements. In fact, I'm trying to find a good place to construct Curie the ultimate lab of scientific research goodness for her to enjoy while I'm not traveling with her.

I've also noticed that anytime I dismiss Strong he complains and says he will go back to the tower and wait for me but he never actually does.

^this

I realised this late in the game, and was doing it for Cait.

Problem was that Cait complained everytime I picked her back up from the Combat Zone, so I had to move her. But yeah Nick, McReady, Curie, Dance and Deacon are people I would love to send back to their home as they seem more suited to those areas.

I'm kinda hoping they patch this, or let us send companions to Homeplate and create an equivalent at GoodNeighbour.

Otherwise I pretty much send everyone to Zimonja.
