Trader stuck in Novac

[Battle]

Im playin NV on xbox.

And I have a wandering Trader stuck in Novac.

I found him behind the garage with the repair/work benches.

If your walking towards Novac's garage.
On the right there is a 'rocket' and a dumpster.
He was stuck on the pile of dirt, between those two things.
He does not move on his own, and his inventory never updates.

I have sense moved him to various loactions.
First to the balcony beside my Novac apt. door.
Then back out to the garage.
Now far far out of Novac (hoping he'll reset)

Is there any way for me to 'reset' this Trader?
Does anyone know how many Trader NV has?
If I kill this one, am I forever wt 1 less?
Is there somewhere that I could put him, that the game will catch he's stuck and reset him?

I saw a mod that reset some wandering trader which did seem to work. I had a trader stuck in the middle of Novac but he started travelling again after I installed that mod. (travelingmerchantfix.esp)
The mod is called "Traveling Merchant Fix"@Nexus. The newest version supposedly makes the trader mercenaries return to their trader after a while.
Reading the mod description I see that the stuck trader didn't have all the coding he should have had. His trader route ends at Novac so he isn't actually stuck.

That wouldn't be helpful, as he's playing on Xbox.

I would say that you should just leave him alone or kill him. There are so many traders, travelling and stationary, that you probably won't miss a single one. By the time I got to the Strip, I was trading exclusively with the Freeside merchants-- those travelling dudes don't have very good stuff anyway.

Try leaving your companions in one of the rooms and go and punch the Trader with no weapon equiped and try to make him follow you. That worked sometimes in FO3.

That's a excellent idea! At least I would get him out into the wasteland, where Npc might act differently.

lol the 1st poster didn't even read my first sentence, xbox.

Oh and another update....

I moved him BACK to novac after finding a lone mercenary walking the mojave. Then realizing he was just south of 188TP, and heading to Novac.

I followed him (for a rather long time) find out where he walks through Novac.
I then placed the Merchant on him path, actually having them bump together, but they never re-joined.
I've figured that the cattle fallows the trader, and the Merc has continued to travel alone...
Im happier now knowing at least I'll encounter the merc once in a while.
