companion Meet FULLY VOICED Insane Ivy 4.0!

[FauxFurry]

I know this might be an odd question, but have you ever considered making IVY into an Automatron robot (possibly an Assaultron)?

Ivy will be usable within the RCO in RSE, using the Romantic Options Menu, to give hugs, kisses and so much more. Its coming, no need for anyone aside from me to attempt it, as it is NOT that easy to pull off properly.

As I had suspected. ?

Wonderful news for everyone.

Yes I did, but ignore what I said, went back in time (in these comments) and discovered its probably just an incompatibility with StartMeUp

 

Now I have a NEW question. Any way possible to make this mod work with XDI? The dialogue options are weird with XDI installed but it's also needed for some other mods in my case

No, XDI breaks many mods because it doesn't play nice. Ivy uses only the 4 regular dialogue options at any one time so there's no good reason for XDI to break her other than that there must be some kind of bug with it. I tried to used it some time ago and it didn't only break Ivy for me, but a lot of other things as well, including a lot of Vanilla stuff.

Not really, it would completely change her backstory. She is after all, a refitted courser prototype.

But it would be easy to mod if you'd like, so feel free to try it!

XDI doesn't really break her, it just does its job: Displaying exactly what you are gonna say. And that makes it a bit hard to get through dialogue with Ivy because playercharacter only says stuff like "Nice". Tried to fix it myself with FO4Edit as I've seen it with another companion mod but damn am I bad at it.

Actually it broke many mods and vanilla quests for me. Many dialogue options completely disappeared, etc.. ?

I tried XDI because because of it being a requirement for a few other mods I wanted to try. Broke my save, and trying to get to work for a new game broke my install of Fo4.

It's a great IDEA, but it's a huge hack job around the engine dialogue. Guaranteed to break at least some of your mods, and apparently vanilla as well (not a surprise).

Not a problem.. stay a while. It's cozy here.

 

In other news.. some of the new lore and features in screenshots..

 

 

That moment when Ivy realizes exactly what's going on...

Is your Red Rocket home going to be a separate mod, or will it be on Ivy's download page?

Looking forward to giving it a go. Red Rocket is my main base anyway.

I'll release it separately. It doesn't really have anything to do with Ivy in any case.

 

I'm just playtesting it thoroughly because I incidentally clicked on 'generate navmesh for cell' while I was in the Commonwealth. I got up to eat something, got back half an hour later as it was churning through my CPU, trying to Navmesh the commonwealth. I cancelled it, but the mod grew about 6 MB, after which I manually deleted all that generate navmesh info from the ESP using Fo4Edit. Now I just want to make sure there's no ill side effects.

[chubjub]

The mod 'Just  Business ' uses XDI i think which causes some problems with the IVY I had to write down what where options its pain because its a good mod for slaving etc . So does it screw up anything else with IVY apart from the wording of her options when talking to her ? . I looked at how heather's patch worked for XDI and how they done it but i think its structured differently to yours and then my eyes started to cross and I started to dribble from my brain shutting down. Just wanting to know if it would cause major issues.

 

 

[fred200]

I use Ivy with XDI; no problems other than dialog wording. I did the Heather patch by hand. If you follow the Heather patch instructions - it might work for the Ivy dialog too.

[Reginald_001]

I have very little experience with XDI. Installed it, found it bombed my gameplay then deinstalled. I really like the idea, but can't tell you much about compatibility with Ivy. All player dialogue is 'shared' dialogue though, so I don't expect a lot of issues there, t.b.h. Likely my install was flawed back then to begin with and I have since started over with at least 2 fresh installs.

so i've been going back through the thred and catching up on ivy news i've missed, and i see that there are several dlc's in the works for ivy.

when the dlc's for ivy (stuff like the museum, not the fallout dlc's) are released will there be links on the file page?

Sorry to be a bother, but I think I found a very strange glitch. I swam through the water and when I got out Ivy was still swimming out of the water.

so I tried teleporting her to me but still she was swimming. I fast traveled and she was fine. Then again this happened and then I tried to above steps the game crashed 

 

I hope the image and video helps find out what is wrong

that a fallout 4 bug, theres a Hysterical  mockumentary video someone made on youtube about a year ago, of all the fallout 4 bugs, and  that was one of them, another is where a companion will Gumby run in frozen T pose, ...but that's actually a game glitch.

This mod crashes with this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/33760

It looks like Ivy can't get Damage Threshold for defense...

You mean the other way around, I guess. I don't know this mod, best to contact them if you have issues with it. As the entire mod is in a black-box DLL there's nothing I can do. I don't know what the mod maker did in his source code.

They will come out shortly after the ESM version of Ivy is released, each as a separate download, some with the ESM as requirement.

 

Ivy posted her 8th video blog today, where she reviews Zardoz.

So I take Heather and R4  on a little excursion, and  I come home to this. She swears she just ate a lot of ice cream since  I was away.

What a bad girl.. and it's not even yours?? Don't let my Ivy see that, I'll never hear the end!

 

Hot of the press: Ivy's 9nth video blog, where she goes off the rails trying to compare men to women..

 

 

Also.. have all of you downloaded the NX-2C Sloot Suit???

CUSTOM BUILT FOR IVY BY CHIC GEEK.

 

Click it.. like it... download it.

 

[Bluegunk]

NX2C Sloot Suit? Oh yes. Downloaded it the moment I saw it, upgraded to TBBP and handed it to Ivy who wears it with honour. 

Very nice job, Chic Geek!

I believe the child is Pickmans , ever since I brought him back in shackles, Ivy has had her eye on him, 
He's my newest and highest earning  male prostitute.  Im loving these  V logs ...have you ever watched  G4? It would be great if she could be interviewed by them.

Hah... Pickman. He always creeps me out, then gets a bullet. ?

 

I've been working a lot on the DLC, nearly done with Nuka World. Quest integration was a true bitch.. the quests are all made illogically, instead of their usual flow it's all hung together with scripts and duct tape. It took me days just get the bugs out of the DLC itself, many jumps to non existing scenes, etc.. they work in the DLC because there's nothing else there (e.g. a lot of dialogue works by mistake) but when I add Ivy's dialogue, these duct-tapes quests started to get all kinds of errors, forcing me to approach some stuff differently than I did with the vanilla game. It's all working now as I use a bit more script injection to work around things.. hey.. if you can't beat 'm.. join 'm..

 

Tried my hands on the weather forecast today. I can make it pretty accurate, by gaining control over the weather system... I can make an array of weather.. then have Ivy accurately predict 'the future'.. thing is.. this breaks a couple of well used weather mods, so Ivy will continue to either guess, or just report on the 'current' weather.

 

She's posted her 10th VLOG today.. so join in on the fun.

And because not everyone was fully understanding what the VLOG is about, I added this 'disclaimer' to it today:

 

 

This VLOG is first and foremost, an experimental character writing exercise. Nothing more and nothing less. It is an exploration of the character of Ivy... What would happen if she suddenly became sentient and gained access to the world through the Internet?  What kind of opinions would she form? What things and memories from her past would have an influence on those opinions?

 

What this all means is that all of her opinions are formed from a hypothetical frame of reference. How would her character, knowingly, sentient, and stuck in the Fallout world, react to our world, fully realizing that she is just an A.I.? In this (thought) experiment she is still limited by all of her programming, her 'biological' brain, the whole backstory with Deborah and Dr. Stein.. her programming which forces her into a life of perverse needs... And for all of her vlogs, all of these things and limitations are factored in.

This means that anything that she says... certainly does NOT reflect how I might feel about these subjects... In fact, some of her views on things go 100% against how I would feel about them. But as I explained.. this is a hypothetical writing & thought experiment, created to help me become a better writer, and for me to learn more about Ivy's character before writing more new content for her.

Just as in her mod... The more you engage with her, the more she will engage with you.. which in turn might help me (and all of us) learn more about her character.

[Hogz50]

Hey in the upcoming upgrades, will Ivy be more responsive in Far Harbor?? I always thought Far Harbor was more fun than the actual fallout 4 game. "Longfellow? I wonder if that's a nickname for his Dick, or maybe...he use to do porn? Like Long Dong Silver?"   lol   My favorite Ivy line, "Hey, want to see ma tits."   I nearly choked to death on my coffee  first time I heard that LOL
