help needed Does the UFO4P work in an ongoing game?

[reegan34]

I downloaded Fallout 4 somedays ago. After I played the game for sometime, I downloaded the patch through vortex/nexusmods. I have spent almost 30+ hours in my playthrough (killed kellogs and completed prestine's castle quest of killing the merc, got into brotherhood of steel and played some of their missions too). The issue occured when I was playing the quest given by Jack Cabot to retrieve Emogene Cabot. To my surprise, when I reached where she was behind a locked door, I didn't find her, she was missing from the room. Then I got the fix by using the console command despite having UFO4P mod installed in vortex(deplyed using LOOTS and I touched nothing inside since I am quite literally a noob at this.). Afterwards, after a little research in reddit, I found out that mod was "supposed" to be "deployed" before a new game. I added the patch in an existing/ongoing game. Is it true though that I need to launch a new game just to make this patch run?

My game version is 1.10.984 and I am not using high res textures pack. Mods I use are basically for bug fixes and some quality of life mods. Here are my mods:

Ideally, the Unofficial Patch should be deployed in a new game, but it can also be deployed in an ongoing game.  The issue is that there are some things that it cannot fix retroactively, if they have already been triggered during gameplay.

Unfortunately that quest happens to be one where a retroactive fix was not possible:

Quote

During startup initialization it was possible for quest DN019 (the control quest for Emogene at the amphitheater) to finish its setup before The Secret of Cabot House (MS09) had completed its own setup. If this happens, the alias in DN019 will not be filled and the failure will also block the Emogene alias in MS09 from filling. This then causes her to not be present during the stages where you rescue her from the amphitheater. (Bug #25262) [NR]

Anything in the changelog which has that [NR] tag can't be fixed without a fresh new game.
