Figured I'v started playing with her may as well continue. I thought I'd wait and see for the DLC update. I may have to play through just to see what they are like. Something new to do. Like I didnt know the BOS were Mini Nazi's till I played through thier quests. Just to make this 100% clear. The release in December will be for the base build of IVY. It will not include the quests lined up for Ivy for Far Harbor and the other DLC's. yet. Ivy in Nuka world is currently 80% done and I PROMISE I'll try to see if I can incorporate it into the December release (I think it's certainly possible) but Far Harbor has a somewhat bigger storyline for Ivy, due to the nature of the Synth presence on the Island, there will be custom characters and a full quest line for Ivy integrated into the main quest line for Far Harbor. 7

Take your time man. I can't even imagine what it's been like and how much work you are and have put into Ivy. The few times I tried to learn how to Mod I wanted to cry in frustration, So I am In awe at what talented Modders like you and Many others have done. I will wait another year without complaint if that mean she is done and meets your satisfaction. I've never understood how some people can act so entitled. Especially knowing that these mods are FREE. I Certainly didn't want to come off that way. Simply meant that I started with Ivy and wanted to experience the DLC with her, Not that I was complaining. I've tried to be very vocal in the fact that I appreciate what you have done and what you are doing. You have made Fallout 4 SO much better for me, Ivy changed the game for me forever, LOL I posted before that even my wife missed Ivy (Hearing her in the background as I play) Side note, I am SO looking forward to far Harbor with Ivy! OMG 5

Since we won't (shouldn't) have Nick along, perhaps Ivy will have dialogue for Nick after meeting his counterpart. I hate not taking Nick along because it almost seems the DLC was created with him strongly in mind.... I'm sure she'll have some juicy 'fish' references or jokes. 2
kchurchjr Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 Happy Halloween all, Ivy Looks GREAT in Grim's Vampirella Outfit, For Comparison she's on her Throne in her usual "armor" 3
Reginald_001 Posted November 1, 2019 Author Posted November 1, 2019 In my playthroughs she is always a white angel of death.. I equipped her with a modded plasma rifle and she seems to like the change of pace. Of course, she has perks for all weaponry so she feels at home with rifles, pistols, baseball bats and rippers as well as missile launchers. 3

She looks AMAZING! very Marilyn Monroe, Truly an Angel of Death. ? I did my best to make a Dita Von Teese Look for Ivy. I do have a SRB Tattoo (Brand) on her neck as well. For RP reasons I tens to dress her in a dress her in a "armed to the teeth Sexbot" style. Skimpy with LOTS of guns! She uses a top tier BR77 in my game most the time. I can see we give her the same Hip holstered Hand cannons. The easy girl set makes for awesome mashups. 1
Celedhring Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 This is my version of Ivy. Using my own preset except that my PC has dark red hair with both using the Fusion Girl body. 3
Reginald_001 Posted November 2, 2019 Author Posted November 2, 2019 Exclusive Ivy in Nuka World gameplay These two videos show off how you can approach entering the Nuka World station. The first one shows a bit of Ivy's quest integration and quest awareness, she will comment (or not) on what types of actions you take here. Good Entry.mp4 Monorail Ride.mp4 Bad Entry.mp4 6

kchurchjr Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 2 hours ago, WhiteFlameZero said: which mods did you use to make ivy look more like the daughters of ares?? I used the 4th gen synth skins by @dibz666 and the add on Looks menu skins made by @goner01 IF the files are not available and the authors dont mind I can share my offline downloads. I also use "Glowing eyes" https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/6763 I like the purple the best, but it has GREAT color options. ( I was gonna give Ivy the classic Vampi look with the bangs and red eyes, But did not have the time due to work and my Toddler) Baring those, Before MK4 I used Synth Tattoos https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/30707 ( I can give an example of that look if you'd like or just look at my previous posts. I basically ONLY post here) *NOTE on use* HERE'S the thing though. When you go into looksmenu and change Ivy's look to use this . SAVE A PRESET. the skin or preset has to be reapplied at first launch every time. to point that I made a bat file so I didn't have to type "slm e108958c 1" every time I started up. the trick is IF her body looks ares, only reapply preset. IF her body is missing wires, go into skins and remove/then add the wires. for Ivy I use the Pink option. I don't know why. I'm not a modder. At. All. I can't even teach myself to make my own armor mod right now. By this is how I've gotten consistent with Ivy's look, At least for me 2
Reginald_001 Posted November 3, 2019 Author Posted November 3, 2019 Interlude "It doesn't matter, it's tradition", the Matron, Rowena, spread her wings out to assert her dominance over the group of female pelicans. As main female mate to the King there should be no need to do so, but things had changed so much in the past year. There had been talk of breaking with tradition and following the human mating rituals.. one female for every male pelican. The entire idea sickened her. Every bird should know that only the strong survive. It was basic nature! Weak males were never allowed to mate before, so why now? Rowena looked at Garvarth. She was the second wife to the King, they were two of at least 20 and the King had procreated with all, ensuring that future leaders of his blood would rise. "What if the humans penetrate the nurseries? Our children is all that we have. They used to eat us!", Garvarth held her beak to the side, her feathers lifted slightly. It was an intricate and deft movement, signaling both her obedience to the hierarchy but that there would be a price for that obedience. Some others in the group mirrored her emotions. The tactical risk of the old ways was undeniable; as was Garvarth's political skill, in any other circumstance Rowena would have been impressed by the act. "We shall not change our traditions to match those filthy humans!", Rowena hissed and stepped forward into the circle. "Our King's word has always been law. Close your eyes and search your mind. You will hear his voice echoing my words." "The telepathic link is growing weaker every day.", one of the other wives said. "There are times where I can't even hear him any more.", another said. "The humans have set up some kind of machine to block his voice. You all know that.", Rowena said. "So is it just your word then?", Garvarth asked. "Don't be stupid!", Rowena hissed, once again raising her feathers. This caused Garvarth to back down, she lowered her head, offering obedience. "I am sorry. I get afraid.. for the children", Garvarth said as she stepped back. "We must trust our traditions. Who are we to argue with nature?", Rowena stepped back as she looked around the group of pelican women. "We are but eggshell beneath the foot of a predator", Garvarth said, it was the war cry of many of the King's death commandos and underlined the existential burden that all intelligent birds lived with. Full intelligence inside the frail and useless body of a bird! It had been the first and most ultimate crime that humanity had bestowed upon them. "Will you speak with the King about extra security measures?", it was the King's third wife that spoke now. "I will take Garvarth with me, and we will speak to him together.", Rowena said, granting Garvarth once again the place of second in the group, establishing the hierarchy. "We will reconvene tomorrow.", Rowena turned and spread her wings then flew off. The General and the King looked at the harem from afar. "Doesn't it make you nervous, when they speak like that?", the General asked the King. King Pelican shook his head. "Why would it. I make no pretenses. I'm not a young pelican anymore and it's just a duty for me." "My wives.. they don't make it easy for me.", the General said. "We will have to give up these old roles and traditions soon, you understand that don't you?", the King asked. The General nodded his head, "I hope.. I hope I won't be there to see it. I think I am tired of changing. I think I need..." "Stability..", the King interrupted him and saw Rowena fly off as his harem disbanded. "Yes", the General sighed. "Do you remember it? I mean.. the time before we could speak?", the King asked. The General nodded. "Me too", the King said. "Time", the General said. And The King laughed out loud, a grating and rasping sound, coming from a Pelican! "You see? That's why you are the general. You go right to the heart of all matters. You are the key-logger. You understand what I mean by that, don't you?", the King asked. "Yes.", the General said. "You've identified the key-log that blocked our species: Time.", the King seemed amused suddenly. "I just meant that..", the General said. "I know what you meant. But you accidentally mentioned the one key-factor that defines what's different about us before and after we learned speech.", the King said. The General seemed confused, "I meant that it's time to go." The King nodded, "I heard you the first time, General", he said. "Apologies.", the General bowed. "I will speak to Rowena. We must listen to the new generations. Their ideas are what will propel us into the future. We are relics now, General. Do you understand?" "I'm sorry sir.", the General said. "Don't be. You have served with distinguishment and valor", the King said. "You are too kind, my King.", the General said. "It's a strange difference, isn't it? The time before we could speak.. and the time after?", the King asked. The General tried to understand what the King was trying to tell him. He heard wisdom in his words, but was once again failing to grasp the underlying meaning. It frustrated him. Why did the King always talk in riddles? "The time before is like it was one moment. But now.. it's like there are many moments.", the General said. "Yes. Exactly! Exactly that. It's time. Time is the key-difference.", the King said. "I don't understand, my King", the General said. "With the concept of time, comes the concept of future. And with the concept of the future, comes the concept of our finite lives. This.. has acted like a lens, focusing our intelligence. Already you see the differences! Our children are getting bigger heads! Our brains are growing and some human scientists think that our younglings have brain matter reaching far down into the spine! We will change and we will continue to change as our intelligence grows. And the key-factor for our intelligence to grow is time. Because of our understanding of time. The future.. the past.. the present.. we can chart out future paths and align our imagination with our reality." The General looked at the King. "I.. I'm sorry my King.", he felt lost. "Do you fly into the fire?", the King asked. "No", the General nodded. "Because you know that it will burn.", the King asked. "Yes" "And before.. we could speak. It wasn't knowledge but fear that kept you from flying into the fire, wasn't it?" "Yes" "So before, we had only our emotions to guide us.. Hunger, fear, sex.. we felt an urge and we acted." "I remember.", the General said. "It's interesting that we do.. remember that time. For all accounts and purposes we shouldn't be able to." "It's like flashes", the General said. "Like one big moment, instead of many", the King said. "Yes" "With knowledge of the future, comes the fear of death.", the King said, finally coming to his point. And suddenly it clicked for the General. "You are the key-logger, without knowing it.", the King said to the General. "You plan the best strategies. You have a better talent for strategical planning than most humans. That's why you are the General of all my forces.", the King said. "I understand.", the General said. "Good.. good!", the King said, "Now... consider the proposal of the young again, in light of what you have just learned. And ask yourself, do you still want to maintain tradition?" The General looked at the King and felt that something fundamental had shifted in his understanding of reality. It made him feel weak and small, but excited at the same time. "We should.. we should change our traditions, as they propose.", he finally said. "Yes... Yes we should", the King said. 3

Reginald_001 Posted November 6, 2019 Author Posted November 6, 2019 Development Log Picked up development on Ivy's Nuka World quest. Played through the first part of Nuka World and decided I wanted some changes, especially during the gauntlet run and parts with Colter overboss. I added around 60 lines of dialogue for Ivy around that whole gauntlet part. I've been struggling with making SHARED INFO topics for Ivy. I can't seem to get her to voice these lines. Today: - Added 140 lines of dialogue in total to 'Ivy Goes to NukaWorld' - Normalized all volumes for Ivy as she was too soft in places (hadn't normalized yet). - Fixed all LIP files for Nuka World (some stuff wasn't lipped yet). - Added 5 stages to the Nuka World quest, each stage consisting of the player and Ivy needing to pinpoint a holotape. Quest arrow will show approximate location but players will need to find the exact location, so it's mostly a puzzle quest. After listening to each holotape, the quest is advanced through more dialogue between Ivy and the player, eventually leading up to a finale of some-sorts that might change Ivy forever. And it's only 11am in the morning.. ? 4
