*Workaround for the bugged GNN Atrium Fountain (SS2 Chapter 2/3)
Hello,
I ran into the bug where the GNN HQ atrium fountain doesn't work correctly after it's built. In my case it had missing textures and no water. I read that is a mod conflict but even after disabling every mod except Sim Settlements 2 and requirements nothing worked, so I ended up using a workaround.
First in the GNN atrium i opened the console, clicked on the broken atrium fountain and used "disable" command
After that:
Installed the **Animated GNN Fountains** mod.
Built the fountain at Somerville Place since it's close to GNN.
Opened the console and clicked the animated fountain to get its reference.
Travel back to GNN HQ.
With the animated fountain's id selectd i used " moveto player"
Position it in the atrium. You can move it using Workshop/Command Mode.
The result is a fully animated fountain replacing the broken one, without touching SS2 quests or save scripts.
I don't know what actually causes the original bug and didn't find help on the internet.
Hopefully this helps anyone else who ends up with a broken GNN fountain.
