On the quest into the deep . Ivy never gave me the neural controller holotape . Ive check her inventory , mine , the chemistry workbench to see if i could craft one . I watch the video of the walk through well the first few seconds of it because i dont really want spoilers , but was at a loss of what the problem was and very early you get the received message and I never did .

I thought maybe it was because i had fast traveled away too soon so I rolled to a save a few minutes before and tried again this time waiting and still she didnt give me the holotape .

is there a console command to spawn it ?

Type: help neur 0 in the console. That should give you the ID for the holotape. Then you can use player.additem <id of the tape> to get it.

ty , got it and completed the quest. Really enjoyed learning more about her and her back story .

I don't know if I'm dumb or not, but her dialogue options are just "Yeah" over and over again. Did I break something?

Need some help with the firmware upgrade.  Got the Quest, went to Concord, got the holotape, loaded it, says i need to get the decryption key, Ivy now has the quest marker over her head, but whenever i talk to her i just get the normal dialogue options, she doesn't update the quest telling me where to go to get the decryption key.

I have managed to screw myself up on the quest Into the Deep. I'm running with Horizon, which means that on "death" I'm respawned in a nearby settlement,. In the part of the quest where

,  that happened, and I ended up dragged out of that environment back out to the wasteland (with Debby in tow). Having managed to get healed up (not trivial in Horizon), I can't figure out a way to get back. My fallback plan is to try to revert to an older save, but I'm wondering if there is any alternative in this situation.

I figured out how to resolve my issue. For anyone needing a similar fix, the cell ID is 00ivysmind01. I also respawned Debby because that didn't bring her "in" with me, but that might have been a mistake as after completing this part I ended up with two Debbys...

Help with Firmware upgrade. I found the holotape and played it but I don't know how to install it. There's supposed to be a "Install hypercombat routines" at the end. As you can see there is none in mine

Same.  Got the Hypercombat and the Key... now she won't talk to me and the quest is still open.  I can't give them to her and the quest marker is still on Andrew Station but I've cleaned it out.

Could you do me  favor:

1) Post your mod load-order in a .txt file as attachment here?

2) Check the HyperCombat walkthrough video to see if you followed all the steps as outlined in the video?

I want to figure out what's wrong, but both myself nor the test team, have ever been able to reproduce this problem. Doing both things will help me greatly in figuring out which other mod is interfering with Ivy's quest so I can patch it.

Andrew Station? Do you mean it's on Ivy? The only quest pointer is towards med-tek facility, namely.

I got it to work properly by going back to an older save and redoing the quest.

Yeah, that was a mistake on my part.  Not even sure why the quest marker was on Andrew Station now... maybe something to do with Outcasts and Remnants.  Unfortunately, I was also having a problem with trying to use the Resurrection mod so I've torn down my game and am rebuilding a new LO.  I did check out the video and apparently I got all of that right but I'm guessing I did something else to fuck this up (I wound up with 3 Ivy controller holotapes).  I've gotta say... aside from the fact that she's super hot, Ivy's dialogue and story are extremely well written!  Literally the best I've seen in FO4 or SSE.  Fingers crossed I get to see more this time around.

I'm having the same problem in my game. How do I fix this? loading an old save is not an option for me. 

Try going to Medtek, find a decryption key on the second floor and read that.

Hi,

First, let me thank you for the mod. I recently reinstalled my game and I was quite surprised by new version of Ivy (i used to have version 4, but i noticed there is 5 already )

However, i found a issue with body and clothing. Maybe somebody might help me. I am using custom JaneBod body (because it offers quite a lot of sliders and options how to customize your boy). Bad thing is that i cannot find armor and clothing that would fit. So i am manually converting armor pieces to fit my custom body. (I am not a pro, i dont know if I am doing it right or not, but the armor fits my and other characters prefectly in game, no skin going through the clothing).

But when i equip the armor (that would otherwise fit perfectly to my character) to Ivy, the armor is not fitted correctly, skin is showing through clothing on multiple places, etc. Basically, it looks like i did not edit it at all.

I tried several methods in Outfit studio, to export clothing with reference body, without, with active sliders, without...but nothing is working.

I don´t understand it, Ivy should use the same body as player, but the clothing doesnt fit her at all.

I attached two screenshots as an example (player seem to have bigger breasts, but is is just perspective). It is like this with all of the armors.

thank you for advice, and remember, i am not a modder :D so i really don't know what to do (or what not to do, probably i screwed up somewhere)

instead of a flirt option im getting "talk dirty"

is this a previous version fucking with my install?

Nope! The option was renamed in the last version.

Sorry for the late reply, but you can always check in on our discord. There's some people there with some experience what those types of issues (if it hasn't been solved already!)

What are you guys talking about? I can see pictures, I can read about many things, locations, names but nothing is happening.

No mods, nothing, fresh install, just ivy as addon.

Fresh new game start. I repeat, no other mods, nothing. 

And nothing happens except loss of many hours while reading no useful information: 

   "when reaching this point, the following should happen. If it does not happen, the following must be done to check if mod is loaded. For testing purposes, the following commands should be issued".

These are classic programming debug instructions specific to professionals which by some unfortunate mistake are missing from Ivy version 5.4. There should be some films on this topic - also missing. Their windows are gray, buttons do not work. Some other films are working but they talk about things that do not happen.

Because there's nowhere specified how to manually start, I determined this might be a great masterpiece which unfortunately is a total waste of 5 hours to get it working with no results due to improper configuration. 

Please tell me how to manually start recruiting Ivy. There's no other radio signal when entering Sanctuary - after exiting the vault. What is the item name of her recruiting voucher? What is the name of the self explanatory recruiting quest and the first stage number? What is the console command to check if ivy is loaded - a 'show version' command should be enough?

 Trial performed with and without F4SE - no success. Two approaches:  1. saved game before exiting the vault; 2. new game from beginning. Version is ivy 5.4 with pron mag addon. 5 hours wasted to get it working with no success. 

There is no Ivy 5.4.

Latest version is Ivy 5.3.

Might explain some of your problems.

Where did you get version 5.4 ? There is only 5.3 and soon there will be 6.+.

Greetings,

First I wish to apologise for the previous text. It was written after many hours of trying to get this working, while repeating that the respect for the amazing work is far greater than my anger (that's why by mistake I typed "4" instead of "3"). I wish I could get it working, but it is not. As an appreciation for the work, I did give up after 5 hours trying to get it running. 

So the file name is "Companion Ivy 5.3 WITH Porn Mag Addon.7z" downloaded from google drive. 

File sizes are as following:

- windows explorer says 415386 kB

- File size says "425 354 325" Bytes

- File size on disk for NTFS 512B sector size is "425 357 312" kB.

The archive extracts fine. There are no issues about any file corruption.

Base archive folder is  "Companion Ivy 5.3 WITH Porn Mag Addon\"

I am using Mod Organizer v2.3.2. I did not try any manual install but I will. In the mean time I am still trying to monitor the CPU registers - I switched to FreeBSD Oracle VirtualBox + Windows10 as guest - to search if Companion Ivy is loaded into RAM at game startup. F4 starts normal - there are 16 out of 32 CPU cores allocated for the virtual machine, there are 16GB RAM allocated, and video acceleration is at maximum. I start new game. Gameplay is not too good but I don't wish to play. I did this just for testing purpose but so far I am unable to determine where Companion Ivy section is loaded into RAM. If I do that, I can determine where to point the CPU instruction register and I can get that program piece to start running. When listing the game variables, I can determine the quest IDs and stage numbers (currently there's only one quest: "go home"), then I may be able to manually trigger Ivy quest start after loading the save game just before vault exiting - in a normal native game play, meaning no virtual machine - to skip starting the game from the beginning. I am not too good into game design (last game design I did was custom mapping in Unreal Single Player back in 1998) but I'm good in hardware design.

In the mean time, would you please enlighten me about how to manually start first quest?  Searching through RAM banks is real pain. The only answer was about a wrong number and that did not help at all.

Thank you.

If you use MO2, then your files can't be in the Data folder,they are in the MO2 folder.And you need to run the game, respectively, from MO2 with the F4SE file.

Alright. Done. It's not the fault of the Master - he made a wonderful masterpiece mod. Fallout 4 did not load anything into memory. Nothing except the original game data files. 

So, ladies and gentlemen, I give you...

How to start Companion Ivy - for stupid people like me:

1. Modify My Documents\My Games\Fallout4Custom.ini

Add these lines if they do not exist:

[Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, TEXTURES\, MUSIC\, SOUND\, INTERFACE\, MESHES\, PROGRAMS\, MATERIALS\, LODSETTINGS\, VIS\, MISC\, SCRIPTS\, SHADERSFX\, MODS\

2. Modify My Documents\My Games\Fallout4Prefs.ini

[Launcher]
bEnableFileSelection=1  <---- if it's zero, change it to 1.

Step 2 may not have any effect on Fallout 4 launcher. It does not always enable files selection, so we are going to do it hard core.

3. Unpack Companion Ivy archive to Fallout4\Data folder

4. Launch Fallout 4 game. In the game menu select "Mods". The game will ask you for Bethesda User and Password. On bottom of screen click on "Home) load order". If step 1 is done correctly, in the new screen, three of the Companion Ivy files should appear: CompanionIvy.esm, CompanionIvy_quest.esp, CompanionIvy_mags.esp" and their sizes. Make sure that you enable them - there should be an encircled "V" on the left side of each file. If there's no "encircled V", step 5 will not happen. When you exit to the previous screen, Fallout 4 will tell you the order of the files changed and it will have to reload all data files;

5. Load an early new game before exiting the vault. When you get close to Sanctuary, close to the bridge but without crossing it, somewhere near that bush in the right which asks you to harvest something, Ivy quest will automatically kick in: the game will ask you to tune your radio. You find ivy in Sanctuary behind the neighbor house of the player, in the cellar. 

6. Open console and type "sqt"  (show quest targets). You will find this quest:  [MOD_ID]01A6A1.  [MOD_ID] is two hexadecimal digits and may be different for your PC. For my system, the redeem_ivy (don't remember correctly) quest ID is 0801A6A1.  Write down your specific ID. You may need it.

So you will be able to manually kickstart Companion Ivy later just like this:  setstage ID01A6A1 0 

where ID is the mod ID identified as explained.  For example when I exit the vault I manually kickstart Companion Ivy like this:  setstage 0801A6A1 0

7. Have fun.

First of all Ivy is by far the best companion mod for Fallout 4 out there. I use Version 5.3 and have no problems so far. Just one thing is bothering me: Ivy's idles. Is there a possibility to change her idles?
