companion Meet FULLY VOICED Insane Ivy 4.0!

[kchurchjr]

I agree with most everything you've said. That is why I tend to be a ghost and lurker online. Hell nearly ALL of my posts here on LL have been here with Ivy, I've NEVER posted on nexus. Enjoy your break and thank you again for all the hard work you've done with Ivy I love her so much

I will continue to keep this tread constantly open in my tabs to answer questions as best I can.

[Betelman]

Thank you for your work and enjoy the break!

 

[fred200]

Ditch us on your break - but keep in contact with Chic! She is an irreplaceable asset!

[chubjub]

Enjoy the Peace Reginald all the best.

 

@Chic Geek "Never pass up an opportunity to tell an idiot to “fuck off”. It gives me all the feels." Thank you, that made me chuckle you should record that for Ivy to say.

[kchurchjr]

@Chic Geek I just snorted my coffee reading that this morning OMG! LMAO!!

We need to start treating each other decently.

We need to stop attacking each other so readily.

We need to stop with the name calling, the denigrating to make your point.

We need to think 10 seconds, before hitting that fucking reply button, to ask ourselves: "Would I take this tone with my wife/mother/daughter/husband/teacher/student/boss"?

Just... don't be a dickwad.

 

 

Reg, I couldn't agree more.  Enjoy the hiatus.

My dear, good time to pause.

If it's worth commenting, I've been a few months away from the networks, there are people who can take our will.

Big hug, and looking forward to Ivy's upcoming news

Do I as artist have the right to say how players should use my mod? I don't know. I don't think so, deep down.

Sure you do, unequivocally.

 

Should and 'can' are different animals. Should is basically 'smart money'.

Can is something which would require a form of enforcement.

 

The internet lately is filled with a form of questionable intelligence that I myself find very hard to identify with. Thank the gods LL seems to avoid most of the stigma. If like me, you learn to ignore certain aspects of life, regardless of form, you find an inner peace which helps you to blow off that which inherently offends, allowing you passage to that which you seek.

 

Look forward to your return.

 

Ivy rocks, Chic geek rules. Together in Fallout it causes drools......

@Reginald_001

Last night I was thinking about the latest posts I saw here, and I noticed a very important detail
The really important information in the description of IVY is not that it should not be used with AFT or others, but rather that:
 

Ivy is designed to be a unique companion, walking alone with you through the community as your primary companion, with no one with you two.

If you insist on using AFT or another mod that allows you to travel with your companions at the same time besides being able to query the AI from IVY you will certainly decrease the degree of experience you may have on a solo trip with IVY, you will be able to comment on the situation and situation that make her the fantastic companion that she is.
 

I imagine that this text with prominence in the description already solves well,

 

The case is that when we think it is some technical incompatibility, naturalemnte or stubbornly, we seek to find a way to circumvent this technical restriction, but ...
If the case is that the design and creation of the compheiro was to be a sole companion and alone with the player, then there is nothing to get around, that's it and that's it.

?‍♂️ I confess, I myself had never given any attention to the fact that Ivy was conceived can not be a secondary companion but rather to be a main companion until I read this in one of her answers back, and this strongly convinced me more than other arguments of compatibility or not,

was simple to understand: it was designed to accompany you on your own.

 

so much so that finally ... I'm traveling solo with Ivy,
??

 

 

[urbanoantigo]

Another thing worth mentioning

 

I realize that I started doing the Ivy's expanded universe

With the channel with her videos, with the pornography museum and the home on RedRocket, and I find that phenomenal.

I hope you will always continue to find exhalation to continue this unlikely companion who is Ivy.

 

But in this expanded universe context. I have a suggestion:

 

In the game Half-Life, in the extension Portal-2 to be exeto, at any given moment of the expanded universe of the game, the creators make a very cool comic that completes part of the history of one of the characters called Rat Lab , in several languages.
http://www.thinkwithportals.com/media_19.php (in comic)

I think how incredible it would be in this context to have one or more comic books about the origin of ivy still human, or its period of construction, is that I am very fam of Ivye comic

Finally, for next update reinforcement a request:

 

That a menu item be included to separate the "flirt" from "Tell me a Story", so if you click on flirting it always has a quick answer and there is another option in the menu "Tell me a Story"
I imagine that during the trip or interval of combat we use only flirting, but ... when sitting quietly in a settlement the option "Tell me a story" is the best.
who knows ... the same place in the menu, if she is standing the option is to flirt (Ivy's quick reply) and if she is sitting at the same place in the menu appears the option tell me a story (Ivy tells a long story )

 

Big hug from the fan of this great job here from São Paulo, Brazil.

Has anyone loaded RSEE vol 5 with Ivy and is it working for you? During testing in my LO I used the Begging for Sex option which reverted her voice to a vanilla settler (while her original dialogue played in the subtitle), essentially breaking her. Animations didn't commence either.

 

I haven't tested the two on a clean save and bare LO so I don't want to say the mod breaks Ivy on it's own, but at this rate, it's breaking Ivy.

 

I mentioned it over in the RSEE vol 5 thread, but never got a response; trying to figure out if it's just me or not so I can then figure out why the two aren't playing nice.

If you dont have RSE Elements Vol3 installed, vol5 will not work. You have a missing mod dependency if vol.3 is not there. That should resolve your Begging issue. As to the voice type change, this is necessary, since 1) ivy has no RSE dialogue and 2) without ONE voice type specified, the CK records lines for EVERY voice type, which is excessive and completely unnecessary.

I did not have vol 3 installed, so that's my fault. Thanks for the fast reply, Joe, that makes sense. I figured it was more like SEU which works fine with her. Don't know until ya try, I guess lol

 

Off the cuff, do you think there's any risk in running the two along side one another so long as I don't use it on Ivy? Thanks again

Perhaps, all of this is Karma.

When I was young (20 years ago). I was part of a troll army. I think it still exists.

 

 

You are a good person, Reginald_001. I do not think humans are born good. We are born amoral, and from there can make many mistakes. Many mistakes are even done with the best intentions, but they still cause pain. Often the mistakes, with hindsight, haunt us because we become aware after the fact of consequences. It's true that bad actions breed bad actions, and mistakes cause a cycle of worse mistakes.

 

But the good of us catch on to that and break free of the cycle. Our good intentions eventually cause joy and peace and then start a cycle of good instead of the mistaken cycle of bad.

 

You feed the cycle of good, Reginald_001. And I thank you and honor you for it.

 

Do not be haunted by the past, and I hope you can find it in you to ignore those trying to harm you because those who are harming you are wrong and not yet awake.

 

[Olmech]

The good people are usually the quiet ones. They are here in abundance but they tend to mind their own business. Some like yourself go above and beyond being helpful to others and giving us many reasons to keep playing Fallout 4. Do not think for a minute that the ones you describe represent the group as a whole. In any case, I wish you all the best and sincerely thank you for Ivy. Some of the shit that girl says just cracks me up and I cant play without her.

[ShaddowAU]

Why are people so obsessed with AFT and playing with multiple companions? In most cases I run solo as I find companions get in the way in the game, especially in combat. They normally can't shot for shit, they walk into your line of fire, easily go down in combat, and they constantly give away your position and alert the enemy of your presence. In reality you would have to use stealth and surprise when, as in FO4, you are always outnumbered and normally taking on enemies in defended/entrenched positions, normal companions make this almost impossible. Why would anyone want to have an entire menagerie of those headaches following them with the multiplying effect of that. Heather Casdin and Ivy are the only two exceptions I have ever found to these issues, Ivy particularly is a crack shot and very rarely gets detected when sneaking. I actually enjoy having Ivy as a companion not only because she is so entertaining but also as she is great little warrior. AFT, seriously... Dogmeat and 5 more companions??? Do yourself a favour and just give that shit up.

[Sierra 21]

Thank you Chic. 

That was the most eloquent and straight to the point explanation I have seen besides what Reginald writes on the subject matter. Thank you again for working on her as well as bringing the obvious to light for the unenlightened, stubborn or just illiterate in terms of not reading the description of the mod itself. 

[ShaddowAU]

or even Heather Casdin, as amazing as she is???...no one holds a candle to Ivy

As a point of clarification (Ref: Comment #1301): 1: I was not saying to use Heather and Ivy together (just in case anyone got that impression). 2: I use Heather here as a point of reference when talking about Ivy; Heather is the highest endorsed unique companion mod on the Nexus and it was the first (that I know of) to break the mold of the crappy vanilla companions, which is something she has in common with Ivy. Don't get me wrong, Heather is a good companion mod and credit needs to be given to llamaRCA for their great work in making her (and Willow in FONV), but is Heather and Ivy really comparative, no not at all. Ivy is absolutely exceptional and she never ceases to entertain or amaze. For however good Heather is, in the end she is just a well made companion. Ivy on the other hand is, as Chic Geek said, she is an experience and again, I cannot compliment and thank Reginald_001 and Chic Geek enough for their incredible efforts in creating her and bring her to life. If someone was to ask me what companion/s to use and/or download, the answer is Ivy and Ivy only (unless you are a squeaker, then I'd want to know what the hell are you doing on this site).

That's a reasonable assessment. If people want to run other followers, great; I don't think it makes them bad people or assholes, it just means their going to miss out on an awesome follower experience which is their loss.

 

As for myself, Ivy is really the only reason I even play Fallout 4. Like most who are still playing the game I've played the content to damn-near death, done practically every quest I can find, ran with every follower the base game offers. I typically like followers. In Skyrim there's a plethora of options should I get bored, and a lot of well done one's at that. They add another layer of game play that renews old content if they're done right. I get bored very easy.

 

My issue with FO4 is the vanilla followers are just so... bleh. Bethesda took the time to incorporate an affinity system, yet you can't even do something as simple as give your lover a hug. Thinking AFT would enhance that aspect was wishful thinking at best, and the game-breaking issues that came with it (on just plain 'ol vanilla followers at that) was a total kill joy for me.

 

The issues it lent once baked into my save lingered long after it's deletion, forcing me to reroll days deep into a play through; it put a very bad taste in my mouth for followers and FO4 in general for quite a while. For that reason my disdain for AFT is just as strong as Reginald's, but for a few different reasons. I want to puke every time I see it mentioned in this thread. More power to you if that's your thing, play how you like.

 

I use followers to enhance an otherwise played out game, and FO4 lacked that for me... until I found Ivy.

 

She really is the best of many characteristics rolled into one. I've always appreciated and gravitated towards strong-willed women IRL, so maybe that's why lol. I'd typically need to run several followers to get the whole experience this one follower provides, and still lack something after it all. Add the little touch's such as a "message from my creator" after accessing her 250 times, personally thanking me for using his mod, personally wishing me hours more enjoyment with his creation, and while in game... well, that's just pure class imho. Typically that would be a bit immersion-breaking for me, but how Reginald made it even MOAR immersive... fucking brilliant, man.

 

I'm really looking forward to the future for Ivy; Reg's updates and add-ons, and everything else that an .esm version of Ivy enables. She has a very bright future indeed. Because I know they'll be done with all the brilliance of the original creation, truly allowing me to look forward to each moment played with Ivy, "treasuring each one like a shot of jet."

 

[Fridolin0815]

Only to show you what you Reginald_001 and you Chic Geek have created.

 

Call me crasy or stupid, but if i run or hide i allways take a look if she is still with me, sometimes i unconsciosly move into the fireline between her and raiders to protect her.

Is this crasy ? of course.

BUT this happens and this is the first time im many many years gaming i act like this.

 

And now after she told me that she have told me everything i never thought about to change her agains another companion to get the buffs.

 

So many many thanks to you 2 to create and breath live into IVY.

Chic Geek's quote for the Mod Description 

(No, no one asked for my opinion...and yes, I am speaking in third person. Get over it.)

 

"Ivy is not just a companion. She is as close as you can get to an actual relationship in the Fallout universe. She is not meant to travel in a pack, and certainly has no interest in sharing the spotlight. She isn't some groupie to follow on your heels in masse with other random followers. She is not a follower-she is the definition of Ride or Die. She is fiercely loyal, to a fault, and deserves the same in return. She gives you everything she has without question. Is it so hard to let go of a bad British accent in a tin suit, or a dog, or even Heather Casdin, as amazing as she is???...no one holds a candle to Ivy. Period. She is not a pet. She is not a flower to be plucked and left to die. She isn't the creation of some jilted ex-lover, trying to create in-game revenge porn. She is a fully formed creation, born of a mind more creative than you can grasp.

 

Reginald spent more time and energy in the birth of this creature than even I can fathom, creating a player experience so fully thought out that it is often hard to tell that she is not native to your gameplay. Of lesser import, I spent countless hours recording her voice, becoming this character-taking the time to ensure that every line was just right-that every little inflection and quip was perfectly articulated to bring Ivy to life.

 

If you insist on playing with AFT, or with any other follower period, you are an asshole and you don't deserve her. And we (Ivy and I) kinda hope it breaks the shit out of your game.

 

Much love,

Chic"

 

I imagine Ivy might say something a little more expletive laden, but the message remains the same. Ivy is an experience. If you want to water that experience down, be my guest. It's your loss. I prefer my shots straight up, no chaser. But if you're a pussy and need a mixer, enjoy your half ass buzz.

 

 

 

 

So much for being censored... lol!  Love the new profile pic btw.
