Fallout Nevada, need help with a quest in New Reno

[superluccix]

Currently got a quest to find and stop the graffiti teenager plastering up the walls of the Silver Hotel. I paid the greeter kid 200 and he told me the other kid appears right before the sun rises. Anyways, Im pretty sure I know who the kid is, since this kid is the only 1 near the graffiti occasionally, but there is no way to interact with him. I go up and talk and he just tells me to go away basically.

Im not sure if I talked to him way earlier and he got mad at me or something which made him not want to talk to me anymore or something.

Or maybe its somebody completely different who Ive been missing. Anybody got any tips?

You need to catch him red-handed (when he stands near the wall). He starts his drawing exercises at 2:00 am, iirc.

Greetings. I started playing this game (more concretely, the English Fixed Edition HD v2.0.2.3) a few days ago.

Everything has gone smooth so far, but it seems I've hit a wall with the graffiti sidequest in New Reno. After many attempts to solve the quest I caved in and looked up the solution online, but it doesn't seem to work for me.

I get the sidequest from the Silver Legacy receptionist, then give a hamburger to the starving hobo in exchange for information on the graffiti artist. Then I proceed to wait until 2 AM, but no young man appears near the wall close to the starving hobo. I must be doing something wrong, and I have no idea what is it. I've tried rest-waiting until 2 AM (and 2:30, and 3:00, and others) in different parts of the area, to no avail.

What should I do, step by step, for this elusive guy to show up? I play in the hardest difficulty with a low charisma character, plus I'm merely level 2 and have a low karma (<10) – if that's of any relevance.

Thanks in advance (and sorry for bumping an old thread).

Edit: I haven't come across the so-called "kid greeter" anywhere in New Reno either; where is he? Could it be that the base game I installed still needs some kind of fix/patch?

Soooo, im a bit late i know, i had the same problem . I dont know what version of fo2 you posses but i have the german version and i think this might be the reason why i cant see children in nevada since theyre cut and stuff. So what i did is copy the missing files "nachldaa.frm ,nachldba.frm and nachldab.fr0" from my original fo2 where i had an fix installed which had all the mission content into data/art/critters/ and know it finally works for me
I hope if im not too late(probably am) could help you and others encountering the same issue
