IMPORTANT: REMOVE VERSIONS 4.0 OF IVY COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING! IMPORTANT: REMOVE VERSIONS 4.0 OF IVY COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING! Introduction Welcome to Companion Ivy! Ivy was created with the greatest of care and dedication. Over 2 years of development time went into creating a rich and full backstory that fits in the world and in the storyline 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 metaphores! 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 Bathesda 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! 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. SPECIAL THANKS - @kchurchjr (test team and INGAME artwork and BOOK artwork) Who can't see any more safes for the rest of his life. - @Bravo267 (test team) - He just needed some sleep! - @Adviser69 (test team) - Awesome last minute ideas to improve Ivy - @urbanoantigo (test team) - Ivy's biggest fan? - @Flashy (JoeR) (technical support and much more support than anyone can imagine while making Ivy) HOW TO INSTALL (Read it.) Step 1) Drag the Downloaded File into your Mod Manager OR Manually install by unzipping into your Fallout4 folder. In both cases always choose 'overwrite' if you get this question! OPTIONAL STEP 1a: Install the Magazine Add-On for Ivy by dragging the Companion Ivy - Magazine Addon.7z file into your Mod Manager (Warning: NSFW Contains pornography!) Step 3) Play! DON'T RUN IVY WITH A.F.T. Warning & Legal Spoiler Permission is not given to recompile, alter and/or redistribute any of the assets contained within the companion Ivy mod for Fallout 4, including, but not limited to the voice and lip files. Permission is not granted to host this distribution on any other website than Lover's Lab. This custom companion incorporates a lot of dialogue which can be considered of a mature subject matter. Aside from the erotic dialogue which has been included, there are many mature themes of a psychological nature that can be considered shocking. These include themes of religion, artificial consciousness, madness, schizophrenia and other heavy subject matters, which for some can be considered controversial, shocking, perhaps even offensive. By using this custom companion you acknowledge that you understand this and that you are using this companion by your own free will and in a country/region where such subject matter is legal. If you disagree, I will refer you to Rule no.1 Posted below. If you have a particular disposition for schizophrenia (or other psychological disorders) it is recommended that you do not play computer games, in general, let alone use this companion. As author I do not subscribe with any of Ivy's opinions, she is a character, completely made up and does not represent any person, real or imagined. Rule No.1: If you think that this mod is sexist, rude, or in any other way offends you.... If erotic stories, pornographic literature, dirty talking and mature subject matters have shocked or confronted you in the past... then you should not download it, play it, or use it. This mod represents a companion/follower in the form of a completely fucked up raider-boss spliced with a sex bot. Her 'brain' is completely virtual. She was designed by a perverted and twisted scientist. She does not in any way represent real women, or how real women would speak, or how real women would act in real life. Any complaints will be quoted this rule for future reference. Should you have ignored this warning, played with Ivy and got to a mental state where you feel the need to comment in a negative way on what she says, or how she acts... DON'T. I don't care.. if you felt that need than you simply do not understand Ivy.. and she (and her subject matter) is not suitable for you.

Popular Post Reginald_001 Posted December 14, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2019 Announcement What better way than to begin the release of 5.0 with a proper news announcement? And it's a doozy as well.. A new voice actress will be revealed together with the trailer of Ivy 6.0. She is both awesome and awe-inspiring and my lips are sealed until the trailers have been made. More information in January! 30 Link to comment
Guest Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Congrats on the release! I'm more than positive that this new and improved Ivy is going to spin heads and be the talk of the town for months to come. Especially when she gets her voice-box fixed... Link to comment

Celedhring Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Screw it...gonna start a new game just for Ivy 5.0. I know I expressly created a save game right before stepping out of the Vault for stuff like this. 1 Link to comment

Bluegunk Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Wow! Great news and thank you! I put aside F04 a while back but it looks like it is time to dust off the game and make a fresh start! 1 Link to comment
urbanoantigo Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Congratulations on the new version of Ivy 5, ?? the Ivy 4 version has already been a huge leap from what was meant as companions to the game, and what has evolved into 5 is a spectacular new affinity mechanic, hypercombat much more conversation and interaction, It's something phenomenal, congratulations and thank you very much 1 Link to comment
Celedhring Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Is the 200 MB Companion Ivy file the unzipped version of the 68 MB Companion Ivy file? Link to comment
KoolHndLuke Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Fantastic work Reginald! Looks like I'll have to give Ivy another sit and spin. BTW- I seem to remember someone telling me porn addiction is a bad thing. Link to comment
Uncle64 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Oh I did run in to one small issue. There is one mod called Campsite Simple Wasteland that places one book on the bed, the new bed for Ivy makes it impossible to take it. I dont know how to make one patch to move the book. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/11734 Link to comment

reconphil Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I'm a little confused about the installation. I extracted the CompanionIvy5.zip and got Companion Ivy 5.0.7z. I used MO2 to install it and the magazine addon. I downloaded CompanionIvy5.z01 but I am not sure how to install this one. Your instructions say it will automatically install it if it is in the same directory, but is that in the game directory. I have my downloaded zip/.7 files in a directory from which I install them through MO2. Thanks. 1 Link to comment

It will automatically find Companion Ivy 5.0.7z and include it in the extraction process. It's meant to work that way. 2 hours ago, Reginald_001 said: NO.

Alpha2016 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Hi, at first thanks for outstanding work Reginald! I'm playing with Ivy 5.0 now (it's just the beginning) and after certain point she repeats just 3 stories from service menu (she also says about reindexing but nothing new shows up) It's a new feature where subsequent stories are told after spending some time/discover new locations or something is wrong? I uinstalled previous version and started new game with fresh save (I didn't have such problems with 4.0) I'm attaching my load order and plugins (no AFT of course) Thanks in advance for your response! EDIT: I also noticed that she doesn't make comments when I'm picking tiny objects, and she didn't say anything when I talked with Preston at Concord EDIT2: I used console command player.setlevel before meeting her, to raise my level if it means something. loadorder.txt plugins.txt Link to comment
Runco990 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Installed and running great so far! Now I have to actually WORK for a while.... grumble.... Back to Ivy later. Link to comment

Make sure her older version is totally gone though, if one of the older scripts is overwriting the new one.. well that's it. Ivy wouldn't work well (or at all). 2 Link to comment
