The Replacement, side quest description:

A Finchley has led the settlement of Finchley Heights since the day the bombs dropped. The current mayor, Albert Finchley, is dying of radiation poisoning and he has no child to replace him when he passes. His longtime opponent, Harvey Ealing sees this as his opportunity to seize control of Finchley Heights. But Albert has the wreckage of a Robobrain and a plan. Who will the Lone Wanderer choose to help? The fate of the two men and of Finchley Heights rests in your hands.

The Stolen Gnome, unmarked side quest description:

Mary's Diner is famous among local residents for the garden gnomes that adorn the eatery. But Mary's prized garden gnome was recently stolen and a ransom note left in its place. The eccentric owner wants her garden gnome back and it's up to the Lone Wanderer to track it and the culprit down.

Known Bugs:

2. Using the COC command to travel to Finchley Heights, saving a game, and then loading that save may cause AI to stop processing their packages in the desired way.
3. Loading a game within the settlement sometimes results in main menu music playing instead of desired music.
