I posted this in the Advice Forum, but it fell on deaf ears. Figure I'd get a response here.

I am just plain confused about this one.
So I'm at the Rotunda, I let Autumn live, and I go to activate the Purifier. I succeed, and get the ending movie. The thing is, as soon as it ends, instead of doing the "2 Weeks Later" transition that Broken Steel is supposed to do, it takes me back to Project Purity. Dead.
Yes, I have indeed checked the Bugs section for "Take it Back!" and I didn't see anything about this. Is it because of one of the mods I was using?
In which case, I was using Fellout (all of them, for the DLC), the Children of the Wastes Pack, Galaxy News: More Where That Came From, and the Ultimate Perk Pack, Packs 1 and 2.
Or maybe it was because I was messing with the console the entire time. Don't get me wrong, the game is fun enough on its own, but I played through the game a lot, and this was the first time I did it on PC. It was very entertaining.



Edit: Urgh... Alright, the save is definitely corrupted. It wasn't Children of the Wastes as Trolldor suggested, because the mod was created by an entire team that specifically made it for use throughout the whole game. So, I'm going to assume it was due to my constant Console tampering. I'll play through it again normally, that way I won't mess up.

None of those mods should affect the end game.

You might have a corrupt save.

Best to disable broken steel (hopefully you're not above level 20 or you might encounter some problems), load, save, quit, enable broken steel again.

I've run all those but CotWP without ever encountering those problems, so try disabling that and see if it does anything.

If worst comes to worst, don't go in to the chamber. Let Fawkes do it, or if you don't care about her, Sara.

Edit: Or go to an old save and load that and play through again.

Also, don't use any autosave feature and don't overwrite old saves.
