Technical Support

So it's not working as expected? Don't despair! We're here to help.

Post in this thread if you are in need of technical support with the mod.

 

Attached you will find the documentation for Ivy 5.0.

You can find this same documentation in game, in the NX-2C Controller Holotape.

 

Do not hesitate to ask any questions, should you have them!

 

Ivy's Affinity Quests

- HyperCombat!

Kicks off after speaking with Ivy and Ivy has engaged an enemy in combat more than 20 times.
 

- Into the Deep
Needs a minimum player level of 17. Kicks off several affinity levels after establishing a deeper love relationship with Ivy. (Affinity = 46. PL > 17)

 

- Robotic Assimilation
Kicks off once you reach affinity level 60+ with Ivy and speaking with Ivy.
 

- Ivy Goes to NukaWorld

Kicks off after finishing Into the Deep and Robotic Assimilation, and after NukaWorld has been unlocked (e.g. the NukaWorld radio signal can be found)

 

- Processing Power! (short quest)

Kicks off after Ivy has asked you for a spare secondary backup processor for over 10 times.

 

- Nice Rack!

Kicks off after picking up more than 20 magazines with Ivy in the vicinity.

 

How to recruit Ivy in a few minutes:

 

 

Introduction

Welcome to Companion Ivy 6.0!

Ivy was created with the greatest of care and dedication.
Over 4 years of development time went into creating a rich and full backstory that fits in the world and in the story line of Fallout. While she may at first glance appear to be a mindless sex puppet, she is far more than that!

 

Her 'mind' was created using real life psychological models, exploring childhood trauma, nihilism, existentialism and other psychological phenomenon. She draws upon a rich history of psychology as taught by Freud, Carl Jung and many other renowned clinical psychologists around the world. But next to that, she is also sexy as hell and delivers powerful lines with a comic punch that will make you smile, smirk, or cry every time she surprises you with a new line of dialogue as you travel the wasteland together.

 

Her psychological profile was created from three distinct personalities, which you as player will come to meet as you travel with her and get to know her better. Each personality fights for its own place within Ivy, making her a unique individual and one that is consistent in the world, based on real life psychological principles.

Always remember when talking to Ivy that she likes to use metaphors!

 

Ivy is a so called 'Prime Companion'.
You could also describe it as a 'Gold' companion.. what does this mean? It basically means she has a shitload of content. Much, much more than regular companions have and perhaps... maybe even the most content of any custom companion for any Bethesda game to date (the jury is still out on that one). At the time of writing all of her dialogue in all of her base mod and add-ons count for nearly 9500 lines of dialogue. But the current base mod has around 7000 lines of dialogue. In comparison, the player character has 12000 lines!

 

This means that she is meant to be used as a SINGLE FOLLOWER and has about as much content as a regular DLC sized add-on as released by Bethesda.

Ivy comes with many special functions, multiple quests (in new locations) and thousands of lines of dialogue, unique for each situation, location and quest. Her radio station offers trailers, music, news and weather reports. She comes with add-ons, DLC and other extras.

 

Consider Ivy to be a game-long quest.

Ivy needs a NEW GAME.

Meaning you, walking out of the vault, and recruiting her directly, to run with you through the game.

She was not designed to be recruited in a later/high level save. It will result losing a lot of content that's important. Her quests and affinity are designed to be built up from the moment you leave the Vault. This is an important distinction between regular followers. Ivy is like a long running quest, not a follower to fill the troupe of other followers with. If that's your thing, Ivy is not for you!

 

- You CAN dismiss her at any time to recruit other followers to get their perks.

- You CAN run with other companions and even use AFT. But you will lose support (see the AFT fact sheet in the spoiler below).

- Installing Ivy will not interfere technically with other custom companions, unless they overwrite vanilla assets and/or vanilla quests.

 

WARNING: Using Ivy with multi follower mods will result in lack of functionality for Ivy.
Ivy allows you to travel with Dogmeat as a secondary companion if you use a suitable mod to enable that functionality.

Hyper Combat Attack Moves

Electric - Ivy teleports to combat target and drops an electric / flash grenade.

Forcepush - Ivy teleports to combat target and uses a concussive grenade, pushing combatants away.

Telefrag - Ivy teleports to combat target and re-emerges inside of them, thereby eviscerating them.

Grenade - Ivy teleports to combat target and drops a random type grenade.

Frenzy - Ivy teleports to combat target and whispers into their ear, making them frenzy.

FreeBird - Ivy does NOT teleport to the combat target. Instead she teleports them 500 meters up into the air so they free fall to their death.

DeathAbove - Dito as FreeBird.

Headpop - Ivy teleports random limbs from the body of the combatant.

Overkill - Ivy becomes panicked. Time slows down and she teleports towards up to 7 different combatants at a time, killing them all through telefrag attacks.

 

AWKR / Keyword mods

- If incompatibilities found, prefer AWKR in your load order (e.g. make sure it's loaded AFTER Ivy)

 

START ME UP / ALTERNATIVE START MODS

- Should work fine with 6.0, but you might miss some of Ivy's content during the initial quests.

 

How will affect her Outcast And Remnants, Project Valkyrie and Depravity?

- Ivy will work well with all of those mods, but you might lose any of her quest related content for quests that are skipped. None of these affect her affinity for you or the outcome of her own storyline. My advice is to 'try the artist vision' with a clean playthrough just with Ivy, then play her and integrate into any mod you'd like.

 

SCANNING

- Ivy sometimes SCANS too often. If it's bothering you, open the console and adjust the SCAN frequency:

 

Open the console, type 'set _ivy_scan_frequency' to 100 (disables her scanning)

Setting it to 0 makes her scan ALWAYS, so don't do that lol.

You can set it to 99 to only make her scan every so often.

 

See the Advanced Gameplay Guide below for more information on Ivy's Global Variables.

I cannot seem to get the mod to function correctly, Ivy keeps going on about "not liking what you're doing" and "Alter Reality"

What should I look for to correct this bug?

Check for anything that is altering her size.

Ok, found the problem. For some reason the game wants her height to be 1.1

Thanks for the suggestion.

I've been trying to install the Firmware Upgrade to activate Ivy's Hyper combat. I tried putting it in her inventory, nothing. I tried putting it into my Pip-boy it say "Please Press Install HyperCombat Routines to continue the process," but there's no button to press. I'm at a loss trying to figure out how to get this to work.

Hi, Need help!

 

Quest: Hypercombat! -> Find Decryption Key.

Issue: At Med-Tek Research, I am not able to interact with Kiosk / Computer: ScreenShot0.png.49bb4d517444e80304af1e1db30b2ac3.png

 

Please help!

Thank you.

You don't need the kiosk/computer. Check the holotape after finding the decryption key. ;)

The key itself is in the blue box in this screenshot.

It worked, feeling stupid for being stuck on this for over a week.

Thank you so much for your help and quick reply! Wish you a great day!

Hi everyone. Long ago, I installed AFT, but never used it with Ivy, because I know AFT messes up Ivy. The question is: since I first installed AFT, then removed it, then installed Ivy, is my game ruined or is it still good to go? My understanding is that AFT modifies vanilla files someway, and I don't know if merely uninstalling it solves the problem or I should reinstall the game (internal scream).

If I understand correctly, I cannot upgrade my Ivy 5.3 save game with Ivy 6.0? Or do I miss something?

You understand correctly. Ivy 6 has a completely new kernel. Installing her into any save game that had previous versions of Ivy will break her for that save.

Ok, fine.

A last detail:

Before installing Ivy 5.3, I had old advanced saved games, after installing, I had the quest "Redeem Ivy" but never completed it. Is it fine to go on with those saves (still not playing with Ivy 6.0) ?

No remnants of any old Ivy should be in the save game. That's just how the engine works, unfortunately.

Hi everybody,

 

Some months ago, i've played with Ivy 5.3 and enjoyed playing with.

Now, i play with Ivy 6.0 (new FO4 fresh install, new game, new mods). Maybe i'm wrong but with Ivy 5.3 i remember moans during black screen and during recorded sextape; now i have silence with Ivy 6.0.

It could be because my modlist, but if somenone knows how to force the audio files to trigger during these sequences and shares this knowledge... well, it will be grantly appreciated ;)

The sounds will be re-added in the upcoming 'patch'. ;)

Amazing follower mod and a wonderful work !!

Stupid question but can I change Ivys body or she uses the same body type as all the women in Fallout 4 ?

Wondering if I can make her body unique from all the other ingame characters ^^

Thank you sooooooo much and very well done!! I have only played with her for 4 hours but the general dialogue is so good! (and i'm not even talking about the naughty stuff) I was already impressed, but then, walking through downtown, she stops, says...uh oh...sorry...I need to pee!

 

That's when I knew this was a cut above anything else released to date!  I was impressed with Heather Casdin, I was blown away by Inigo, I was amazed by Serana Dialogue add-on but this is in a different league!  Well done indeed!

Really impressive mod. Having to build something within the constraints of an already existing environment (Fallout 4) must be very difficult. What I like about the  Mod is the surprising interactions. I put up a Stripper Pole and Ivy will (randomly) start  using this pole or will (randomly) attach herself to an X Cross torture device. Not sure what parameters you put into the character, but these kinds of unexpected behaviors just makes her seem all the more "human".

I played with Ivy as a male character and decided to try as a female. Everything went great until we left a building and Ivy started with a failure scene, but we were attacked and she went to fight the bad guys. she will not repeat the failure dialogue. Any way to fix it without going way back in my play?

I got the mod to work be she doesn't "say" anything. The captions show what she would say and I can respond to do a full convo but the voicelines just, arn't there. I would like to know what I'm doing wrong if im doing anything wrong but when I looked through all the posts to see if anyone had this problem with 6.0 i didn't see anyone. It's a new game but with a mod called sisters of battle installed, that the only mod I have installed besides Ivy.

Did you enable loose files?

Make sure you installed the mod correctly, depending on which mod manager you are using. Maybe reinstall the mod to make sure?

Thank you for all your work, the mod is fantastic. I found that with the mod enabled, I can not talk to Shaun for the institutionalized quest. I tried all sorts of fixes and none of them allowed me to go forward on the quest except disabling Ivy and loosing all the progress I made with her. Is there any fix you can make or do I have to reclaim Ivy and move on?
